Straps are designed to transfer tension loads in a wide variety of applications.

HRS - A 12 gauge strap with a nailing pattern designed for installation on the edge of 2x members. NEW! The HRS416Z installs with Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong Drive® screws (SDS).

LSTA and MSTA - Designed for use on the edge of 2x members, with a nailing pattern that reduces the potential for splitting.

LSTI - Light straps that are suitable where pneumatic-nailing is necessary through diaphragm decking and wood chord open web trusses.

MST - Splitting may be a problem with installations on lumber smaller than 3 1/2"; either fill every nail hole with 10dx1 1/2" nails or fill every-other hole with 16d common nails. Reduce the allowable load based upon the size and quantity of fasteners used.

MSTC - High Capacity strap which utilizes a staggered nail pattern to help minimize wood splitting. Nail slots have been countersunk to provide a lower nail head profile.

Finish: PS - HDG; HST3 and HST6 - Simpson Strong-Tie® gray paint; all others - galvanized. Some products are available in stainless steel or ZMAX® coating; see Corrosion Information.

Installation: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.

Some products may be installed with our new Strong-Drive® SD screw - click here for details

Options: Special sizes can be made to order. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie.

Codes: MSTC and RPS meet code requirements for reinforcing cut members (16 gauge) at top plate and RPS at sill plate.
International Residential Code®- 2000/2006 R602.6.1
International Building Code®- 2000/2006 2308.9.8

PS   Typical PS720 Installation
PS strap design loads must be determined by the Designer for each installation. Bolts are installed both perpendicular and parallel-to- grain. Hole diameter in the part may be oversized to accommodate the HDG. Designer must determine if the oversize creates an unacceptable installation.

Some of these models are load-rated for use with Strong-Drive® SD Screws.
See the load values.
  1. Loads include a 60% load duration increase on the fasteners for wind or earthquake loading
  2. 10dx1 1/2" nails may be substituted where 16d sinkers or 10d are specified at 100% of the table loads except where straps are installed over sheathing.
  3. 10d commons may be substituted where 16d sinkers are specified at 100% of table loads.
  4. Allowable bolt loads are based on parallel-to-grain loading and these minimum member thicknesses: MST – 2 1/2"; HST2 and
    HST5 – 4"; HST3 and HST6 – 4 1/2".
  5. 16d sinkers (0.148" dia x 3 1/4" long ) or 10d commons may be substituted where 16d commons are specified at 0.84 of the table loads.
  6. Use half of the nails in each member being connected to achieve the listed loads.
  7. Tension loads apply for uplift when installed vertically.
  8. NAILS: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3 1/2" long, 16d Sinker = 0.148" dia. x 3 1/4" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long,
    10dx1 1/2 = 0.148" dia. x 1 1/2" long. See other nail sizes and information.

  6. Straps not installed over sheathing with 10d (0.148 dia. x 3) nails specified may be substituted with 10dx1 1/2 (0.148 dia. x 1 1/2) with no reduction in load.
  7. Tension loads apply for uplift as well when installed vertically.
