H11Z Hurricane Tie
Product Details
The H11Z holds a rafter or truss on both sides for high lateral load resistance. The U-shaped design provides faster installation than using two single-sided ties. The H11Z is specifically designed for 3x nominal lumber.
Key Features
- Provides a connection between the truss or rafter and the wall of the structure that helps resist wind and seismic forces
- Used for a variety of connections where one member crosses another
Material
- 18 ga.
Finish
- ZMAX® coating; see Corrosion Information
Installation
- Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
- 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.
- See Straps and Ties General Notes.
- Allowable loads in the F1 direction are not intended to replace diaphragm boundary members and do not account for possible cross-grain bending of the truss or rafter members.
- When cross-grain bending or cross-grain tension cannot be avoided in the members, mechanical reinforcement to resist such forces shall be considered by the designer.
- Fasteners: Nail dimensions in the table are listed diameter by length. For additional information, see Fastener Types and Sizes Specified for Simpson Strong-Tie Connectors.
- Using Strong-Drive SD Connector (SD10212) for 0.162” x 2 1/2” (and longer) will get the same load as nails.
