Product Description

The Simpson Strong-Tie H1.81Z Hurricane Tie is engineered for use with 1 ¾" LVL (laminated veneer lumber) rafters, offering a robust connection to the top plate of walls. With a wider seat specifically designed for engineered wood, this tie delivers enhanced lateral resistance, making it ideal for structures in seismic or high-wind regions. Its efficient design requires fewer fasteners while providing a higher allowable load, making it a cost-effective solution for wood-frame construction. The ZMAX® finish provides corrosion resistance, ensuring durability in harsh environments. Installation: Install the H1.81Z Hurricane Tie using all specified fasteners, with the option to place it on either the inside or outside of the wall. This tie can be installed with flanges facing inward or outward. Always ensure proper alignment for optimal performance. When used in wood construction, it secures LVL rafters effectively, enhancing resistance to uplift and lateral forces in hurricane or seismic conditions.
