The Stud Plate Tie series offers various solutions for connecting the stud to the top and bottom plates. All models can be used to make a connection to either the top or bottom plate, and several are suitable for double top plates and studs.

The new TSP Twist Stud Plate offers higher loads in a tie that fastens on the side of the stud to reduce interference with drywall installation. Suitable for both top plate and sill plate applications.

The new SPHR series connectors are designed to fit over typical prefabricated wall assemblies using nominal 1/2" sheathing, enabling easy installation and inspection. Independent third-party testing shows no reduction in load with the wider design. As a result of the new design, there is no longer a risk of damaging the connector with sheathing nails because installation occurs after the sheathing is already in place.
