FTA/LFTA Floor Tie Anchors

Designed for use as a floor-to-floor tension tie, one FTA replaces two comparably sized holdowns and the threaded rod.

The LFTA Light Floor Tie Anchor is for nailed installations.

Material: See table.

Finish: LFTA - galvanized; FTA - Simpson Strong-Tie® gray paint

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
Washers required on side opposite FTA for full loads.
Nail holes between floors allow preattachment to the joist during installation; these nails are not required.

Options:

The standard model's clear span of 17" will accommodate up to a 12" joist. The clear span of the FTA may be increased with a corresponding increase in overall length.

Allowable loads have been increased 60% for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern.
Reduce the allowable load for the LFTA according to the code when nails penetrate wood less than 1 3/4".
NAILS: 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long. See other nail sizes and information.
