S/LTT & S/HTT Tension Ties

The S/HTT14 is a single-piece formed tension tie - no rivets, and a 4-ply formed seat which won't unfold during loading. No washers are required.

The S/LTT and S/HTT Tension Ties are ideal for retrofit or new construction projects. They provide high strength, post-pour, concrete-to-steel connections.

Material: See table.

Finish: Galvanized.

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners.
Use the specified number and type of screws to attach the strap portion to the steel stud. Bolt the base to the wall or foundation with a suitable anchor; see table for the required bolt diameter.
Do not install S/LTT20 raised off of the bottom track.
Refer to technical bulletin T-ANCHORSPEC for post-installed anchorage solutions.
