Simpson Strong-Tie hurricane ties are designed to resist high winds and seismic forces by positively connecting trusses/rafters to the top of wall of the structure. These ties connect both solid-sawn and engineered lumber across a wide range of applications. Some hurricane tie models are available with additional corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications.
Great for connecting 2x deck joists on top of a perpendicular beam
Install in pairs on either side of the rafter/truss/joist to provide resistance to uplift and lateral forces
Use also for a variety of connections where one member crosses another
Made from 18-gauge steel
Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance
Install with 10d x 1-1/2-in nails, 1/4 x 2-1/4-in Titen screws and 1/4 x 1-3/4-in Titen screws
