CMST COILED MEDIUM STRAP TIE
CMST Hurricane & seismic

Coiled Medium Strap Tie

CS Coiled Strap is a high-strength steel component used in LSF structures to secure and stabilize framework elements. It reinforces connections, resists lateral forces, and enhances structural integrity against wind or seismic loads. Its flexibility, durability, and corrosion resistance make it an efficient solution for LSF applications.

CS COILED STRAP
CS Straps

Coiled Strap

CS coiled utility straps are an ideal solution when it is desired to brace wall studs via the flanges with strap. These products are packaged in lightweight cartons (about 40 pounds) and can be cut to length on the job site.

H6 HURRICANE TIE
H6 Hurricane & seismic

Hurricane Tie

The H6 single-sided hurricane tie is designed to resist moderate to high uplift loads at the stud-to-double-top-plate and the rim-joist-to-stud connections. The length of the tie makes it ideal for applications where spanning a larger distance between members is necessary.

HTP TIE PLATE
HTP Tension & tiedowns

Tie Plate

The HTP is designed to resist tension when installed on the side of 2x4 or larger members. This heavy tie plate is ideal for a variety of applications including connecting two members end-to-end or attaching multiple members together. The HTP can be installed with either nails or Strong-Drive® SD Connector screws.

HTT HEAVY TENSION TIE
HTT Tension & tiedowns

Heavy Tension Tie

The HTT is designed to resist medium tension loads that are fastened with #10 screws. This single-piece formed heavy tension tie has a four-ply formed seat, is designed without rivets and does not require washers. This tension tie provides high-strength, post-pour, concrete-to-steel connections.

HUC HEAVY CONCEALED-FLANGE FACE-MOUNT JOIST HANGER
HUC Hangers

Heavy Concealed-Flange Face-Mount Joist Hanger

The HUC is designed for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors. These face-mount joist hangers have concealed header flanges providing cleaner visible lines in exposed conditions. Some models of this heavy-duty hanger can be special ordered with a skewable seat and a seat that slopes as far as up to 45°.

LBP LIGHT BEARING PLATE
LBP Plates & bearing

Light Bearing Plate

The LBP is designed to provide a greater bearing surface than standard-cut washers and help distribute the load at critical connections. This light bearing plate works by transferring concentrated compressive forces between two structural elements. The LBP features a galvanized finish for extra corrosion resistance.

MSSC-KW KNEEWALL CONNECTOR
MSSC-KW Plates & bearing

Kneewall Connector

MSSC connectors are designed to work in tandem with Simpson Strong-Tie® BP1/2-3 bearing plates to provide solutions for moment-resisting kneewall lighter-duty applications.

S/B HIGH-CAPACITY HANGER
S/B Hangers

High-Capacity Hanger

The S/B installs to structural steel or cold-formed steel members for support of cold-formed steel joists. The design provides dimensional accuracy and helps to ensure proper bearing area and connection. These modifiable, high-capacity, top-flange hangers are manufactured with precision forming and quality control.
