Cold-Formed Steel: S/H & H Seismic & Hurricane Ties

Designed to provide seismic and wind ties for trusses or joists, this versatile line may be used for general tie purposes, strongback attachments, and as all-purpose ties where one member crosses another.

Material: See table.

Finish: Galvanized. Available with ZMAX® coating; see Corrosion Information.

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners.
The S/H1 can be installed with flanges facing outwards (reverse of illustration 1) when installed inside a wall for truss applications.
Hurricane ties do not replace solid blocking.
S/H2.5, S/H3 and H6 ties are only shipped in equal quantities of rights and lefts.

Loads are based on attachment of cold-formed steel members having a minimum thickness of 33 mil (20 ga).
Hurricane ties are shown installed on the outside of wall for clarity. Installation inside of wall is acceptable. For Continuous Load Path, connections in the same area must be on same side of wall.
H10S with CFS members having a minimum thickness of 43mil (18 ga) the allowable load is 1260 lbs.
H10S can have an offset of maximum 3/4" from the center of the vertical stud based on AISI General Provisions Standard Section C1 (In-Line Framing) for a reduced uplift of 890 lbs. provided edge distances are met.
