Simpson HURRICANE TIE 18-3/4" x 3-1/4" x 18ga (43mils) (carton of 25)

Product Description

The Simpson Strong-Tie H16 series Hurricane Tie is designed for high-capacity wind resistance. These ties securely connect trusses and rafters to wall plates in wood-framed structures or to masonry walls. Its presloped seat, angled at 5:12, allows for a tight fit and minimizes deflection during wind events. The H16 series is versatile for a range of truss heel heights from 4" up to 13-1/2", and the ties are constructed from 18-gauge galvanized steel for enhanced corrosion resistance. This connector offers strong protection against uplift and lateral forces, ensuring long-lasting performance in regions prone to hurricanes, high winds, and seismic activity. The H16-2 features a 3-1/4"" wide seat and 18-3/4" long strap. See the H16 model for a 1-5/8" wide seat. Installation: To install the H16 series, use all manufacturer specified fasteners to achieve load table values. The presloped design facilitates an accurate fit. This hurricane tie is compatible with trusses or rafters at a pitch from 3/12 to 7/12. Designed for a minimum heel height of 4". Note that this connector does not replace solid blocking in the framing structure.
