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.

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