HDQ Holdown, Quick-Install

Product Details
The HDQ is designed for high loads and provides ease of installation. The unique design of the seat in this holdown allows installation raised above the sill plate and greatly minimizes deflection under load. The HDQ comes with Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, which install easily, reduce fastener slip and provide a greater net section than bolts.
