H6 Hurricane Tie

Roof Truss and Rafter Connectors, Ties, and Straps

This product's information may differ depending on the category of use. You are currently viewing details related to Roof Truss and Rafter Connectors, Ties, and Straps. You can also view product information related to the category: Seismic and Hurricane Ties

The H6 single-sided hurricane tie is designed to resist moderate to high uplift loads at the stud-to-top track and the rim-joist-to-stud connections. The length of the tie makes it ideal for applications where spanning a larger distance between members is necessary. The H6 is also well suited for hybrid projects with wood trusses or joists-to-CFS walls.

Key Features

  • Forms part of a continuous load path to resist wind and seismic forces
  • Shipped in equal quantities of left and right versions

Material

  • 16 ga.

Finish

  • Galvanized (G90) or ZMAX® coating; see Corrosion Information

Installation

  • Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
  • Shipped in equal quantities of right and left versions.
  • Hurricane ties do not replace solid blocking.
  • When installing ties on plated trusses (on the side opposite the truss plate) do not fasten through the truss plate from behind. This can force the truss plate off of the truss and compromise truss performance.

Load Tables

    These products are available with additional corrosion protection.

  1. Loads are based on attachment of cold-formed steel members having a minimum thickness of 33 mil (20 ga.).
  2. Hurricane tie is shown installed on the outside of wall for clarity. Installation inside of wall is acceptable. For Continuous Load Path, connections in the same area must be on same side of wall.
  3. See Fastening Systems for more information on Simpson Strong-Tie fasteners.
  1. Allowable loads on wood have been increased 60% for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other load duration factors govern.
  2. Hurricane tie is shown installed on the outside of wall for clarity. Installation inside of wall is acceptable. For Continuous Load Path, connections must be on same side of wall.
  3. When cross-grain bending or cross-grain tension cannot be avoided, mechanical reinforcement to resist such force should be considered.
  4. See Fastening Systems for more information on Simpson Strong-Tie fasteners.
