The LTA2 is an embedded truss anchor for grout-filled CMU and concrete walls that develops high loads with shallow embedment. Designed for 2x4 minimum truss chords, the LTA2 resists uplift and lateral loads parallel and perpendicular to the wall with a minimum heel height requirement.

Key Features

  • Simplified design of the embedded portion allows for easy positioning close to rebar
  • Ideal for anchoring trusses running perpendicular or parallel to the wall
  • Embedment line stamped on part simplifies installation and helps avoid installation errors

Material

  • 18 ga. (43 mil)

Finish

  • Galvanized (G90)

Installation

  • Whether in grout-filled CMU or concrete, the LTA2 must be embedded to the depth of the embedment line stamped on the part.
  • A minimum of one horizontal #5 rebar is required at top of concrete or in the top course of grout-filled CMU.
  • For parallel-to-wall applications, install the LTA2 with flanges facing the center of the wall. Minimum edge distance of 1 1/2" is required.
