product line. The LTTP2 is designed to be used with both solid
sawn and I-joist purlins. LTTP2 is also designed to be installed
vertically on a stud for holdown application.

See pp. 60–61 for more information.

LSSR Slopeable/Skewable Rafter Hanger

The patent-pending LSSR light slopeable/skewable rafter hanger
series now includes 2x models for solid sawn lumber. One of its
key features is it can be installed after all of the rafters have been
tacked into place. A versatile hanger, it is field adjustable for
skew up to 45° and features an innovative hinged swivel seat
to adjust for up to a 45° skew.

See pp. 140–141 for more information.

C-C-CAN2022 © 2022 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE COMPANY INC.

ICFVL Ledger Connector System
The new ICFVL8 is designed to accommodate foam thicknesses
up to 4 1/2" whereas the new ICFVL6 replaces the current ICFVL
model for foam thicknesses up to 3 1/4".

See pp. 322–324 for more information.

Titen Turbo™ Concrete and Masonry Screws

The new Titen Turbo concrete and masonry screw anchor features a
patent-pending Torque Reduction Channel that displaces dust where
it can’t obstruct the thread action, reducing the likelihood of binding in
the hole. The Titen Turbo is available in 3/16" and 1/4" diameter with either
a hex head (required for use with connectors) or, for other material
installations, a 6-lobe-drive countersunk head. The pointed tip allows for
easy attachment of wood to concrete or for wood-to-wood applications.

Guidelines for Selecting Materials and Coatings

In the discussion and charts of this section, Simpson Strong-Tie presents a three-step system to determine which
product coatings and base metals to use in a range of corrosion conditions. These are general guidelines that may not
consider all relevant application criteria. Refer to product-specific information for additional guidance.

Simpson Strong-Tie evaluated the Use Categories outlined in CAN/CSA O80 Series-15 and ICC-ES AC257 Exposure
Conditions and developed a set of corrosion resistance recommendations. These recommendations address the coating
systems and materials used by Simpson Strong-Tie for fastener, connector, and anchor products. Although the CSA
Use Categories and ICC-ES AC257 Exposure Conditions specifically address treated-wood applications and some
common corrosion agents, Simpson Strong-Tie believes that its recommendations may be applied more generally to
other application conditions, insofar as the service environments discussed are similar. You should consult with a
corrosion engineer concerning the application where advisable.

Step 1 — Evaluate the Corrosion Conditions

• Dry Service: Generally INTERIOR applications including wall and ceiling cavities, and in raised floor applications in
enclosed buildings that have been designed to prevent condensation and exposure to other sources of moisture.
Prolonged periods of wetness during construction should also be considered, as this may constitute a Wet Service
or Elevated Service condition. Dry Service is typical of CSA UC 1 and UC 2 for wood treatment and AC257 Exposure
Condition 1. Keep in mind that dry-service environment may contain airborne salts. AC257 Exposure Condition 2
reflects the presence of airborne salt in a dry-service environment and corrosion hazard to exposed metal surfaces.
It does not include effects of treatment chemicals. This condition is generally considered in Elevated and Uncertain
assessments.

• Wet Service: Generally EXTERIOR construction in conditions other than elevated service. These include Exterior
Protected and Exposed and General Use Ground Contact as described by CSA UC 4.1. CAN/CSA O80 Series-15
classifies exterior above-ground treatments as Use Categories UC 3.1 or UC 3.2 depending on moisture run-off; and
for exterior ground-contact levels of protection, it has Use Categories UC 4.1, UC 4.2 and UC 4.3. ICC-ES AC257
considers the exterior exposure to be limited by the presence of treatment chemicals, and corrosion accelerators.
In general, the AC257 Exposure Condition 1 includes Use Categories UC 1 (interior/dry) and UC 2 (interior/damp),
while Exposure Condition 3 is a surrogate to UC 3.1, UC 3.2 and UC 4.1 (exterior, above-ground and ground-contact,
general use). The ICC-ES AC257 Exposure Conditions 2 and 4 are exposures that are salt environments.

C-C-CAN2022 © 2022 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE COMPANY INC.

• Elevated Service: Includes fumes, fertilizers, soil, some preservative-treated wood (UC 4.2 and UC 4.3),
industrial-zone atmospheres, acid rain, salt air, and other corrosive elements.
• Uncertain: Unknown exposure, materials, or treatment chemicals.
• Ocean/Water Front Service: Marine environments that include airborne chlorides, salt air, and some salt splash.
Environments with d e-icing salts are included.

Additional Considerations
1. Always consider the importance of the connection as well as the cost of maintenance and replacement.

2. If the information about treatment chemicals in an application is incomplete, or if there is any uncertainty as to the
service environment of any application, Simpson Strong-Tie recommends the use of a Type 300 Series stainless steel.
Simpson Strong-Tie has evaluated the corrosion effects of various formulations of wood treatment chemicals ACZA,
ACQ, CCA, MCA, CA, and salt as corrosion accelerators. Simpson Strong-Tie has not evaluated all formulations and

retentions of the named wood treatment chemicals other than to use coatings and materials in the severe category.
Manufacturers may independently provide test results or other product information. Simpson Strong-Tie expresses no
opinion regarding such information.

3. Type 316/305/304 stainless-steel products are recommended where preservative-treated wood used in ground contact
has a chemical retention level greater than those for UC 4.1; CA-C, 0.15 pcf (pounds per cubic foot); CA-B, 0.21
pcf; micronized CA-C, 0.14 pcf; micronized CA-B, 0.15 pcf; ACQ-Type D (or C), 0.40 pcf. When wood treated with
micronized CA-C and micronized CA-B with treatment retentions up to UC 4.2 is in dry service, hot-dip galvanized
fasteners and connectors may be suitable.

4. Mechanical galvanizations C 3 and N2000 should not be used in conditions that would be more corrosive than UC 3.1
(exterior, above ground, rapid water run off).

5. Some chemically treated wood may have chemical retentions greater than specification, particularly near the surface,
making it potentially more corrosive than chemically treated wood with lower retentions. If this condition is suspected,
use Type 316/305/304 stainless-steel, silicon bronze, or copper fasteners.

6. Some woods, such as cedars, redwood, and oak, contain water-soluble tannins and are susceptible to staining when
in contact with metal connectors and fasteners. According to the California Redwood Association (calredwood.org),
applying a quality finish to all surfaces of the wood prior to installation can help reduce staining.

7. Anchors, fasteners and connectors in contact with FRT lumber shall be hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel, unless
recommended otherwise by the FRT manufacturer. Many FRT manufacturers permit low-corrosion-resistant connector
and fastener coatings for dry-service conditions.

8. Simpson Strong-Tie does not recommend painting stainless-steel anchors, fasteners or connectors. Imperfections or
damage to the paint can facilitate collection of dirt and water that can degrade or block the passive formation of the
protective chromium oxide film. When this happens, crevice corrosion can initiate and eventually become visible as a
brown stain or red rust. Painting usually does not improve the corrosion resistance of stainless steel.

Over-Driven Nails in Connectors and Straps

A nail that is installed such that the head deforms the steel of the connector or strap is considered over-driven.
Extra care to prevent over-driven nails should be taken when installing power-driven nails. Simpson Strong‑Tie has
evaluated the effect of over-driven nails in connectors and straps. No reductions in resistance for connectors or
straps apply as a result of over-driven nails if all of the following conditions are met:
• Connectors and straps are 14-, 16-, or 18-gauge steel.
• The top of the nail head is not driven past flush with the face of the metal hardware.
• The nail goes through an existing fastener hole without enlarging it.
• The steel around the hole is not torn or damaged other than denting caused by the nail head.

Sill Plate Anchoring Solutions

and Anchors

Simpson Strong-Tie offers many anchorage solutions for sill plate applications in concrete or concrete block foundations.
Cast-in-place structural connectors offer a time-saving alternative to anchor bolts, and provide installers with more flexibility
on the jobsite. Our post-installed connectors are often used in retrofit/expansion applications or when cast-in place anchors
are omitted or mis-located. All of these connectors have been evaluated and are acceptable alternates to the code-specified
anchor bolts. Powder-actuated pins are acceptable alternates to code-specified anchor bolts for temporary placement of
exterior sill plates and for permanent attachment of interior sill plates.
Various product finishes are available to address most environmental or preservative-treated wood conditions.
For more information on product performance, installation requirements, corrosion and appropriate code listings for

Titen Turbo ™

and Anchors
Concrete and Masonry Screws
The new Titen Turbo concrete and masonry screw anchor features a patent-pending Torque Reduction Channel
that displaces dust where it can’t obstruct the thread action, reducing the likelihood of binding in the hole.
The Titen Turbo is available in 3/16" and ¼" diameter with either a hex head (required for use with connectors) or,
for other material installations, a 6-lobe-drive countersunk head. The pointed tip allows for easy attachment of
wood to concrete or for wood-to-wood applications. For more information, visit go.strongtie.com/titenturbo.
Material: Carbon steel
Coating: Zinc plated with baked-on ceramic coating
Codes: IAPMO UES ER-712 (concrete), IAPMO UES ER-716 (masonry)
For proper installation sequence, see installation requirements in IAPMO UES ER-712 (Concrete)
and ER-716 (Masonry).

Titen Turbo Screw Anchor Warning:

Industry studies show that hardened fasteners can experience performance problems in wet or corrosive
environments. Accordingly, use this product in dry and noncorrosive environments only, or provide
moisture barrier. Steps must be taken to prevent inadvertent sustained loads above the listed allowable
loads. Overtightening and bending can initiate cracks detrimental to the hardened screw’s performance.
Use the Simpson Strong-Tie Titen Turbo installation tool kit (part TNTINSTALLKIT); it has a bit that is
designed to reduce the potential for overtightening the screw.

and Anchors
Heavy-Duty Screw Anchor
The Titen HD with washer-head is a high-strength screw anchor for use in cracked and uncracked concrete, as well as
masonry. The washer-head design is commonly used where a minimal head profile is necessary. The model is offered
in sizes suitable for use in sill plate applications, and the washer head’s low installed profile means modular wall and floor
systems can be installed on top with no need for notching the wall framing to accommodate the anchor. The anchor’s
6-lobe drive eases driving and is less prone to stripping.

Wedge Form Tie

The wedge tie (WT) is a form tie that secures concrete forms in
place while the concrete is poured. It easily installs between form
boards and accurately spaces the forms. Several models are
available for varying wall thickness and types of form boards.
Designed for low foundation wall applications. 5⁄8"-wide formed
“V” design for rigidity allows accurate form spacing and support.

Sizes now available for composite form board.
Material: W1 — 14 gauge; WT — 18 gauge
Finish: Galvanized
Installation:
• Two W1 wedges required Order wedges
for each tie separately. WT6/125
Specify W1.
• Not recommended for wall
pours greater than 4' high
• Wall thickness from 6" to 12"
The spacing of the WTs along the length of the form depends on
the depth of the WT in the form. The spacing does not depend on
the thickness of the wall. The maximum recommended spacing for
WTs used with 1x, 2x and 1 1⁄4" thick forms is outlined in the tables
below. The tables give spacing guidelines for various form heights
and types of form boards. In general, the higher the form is, the
closer the spacing of the WTs should be.

Notes to the designer:

1. Rebar is required at top of stemwall foundations but is not required for Slab-on-Grade Edge and Garage Curb, or Stemwall Garage Front installations.
2. Minimum end distances for SB bolts are as shown in graphics.
3. Factored resistances have been developed based on testing per ICC AC399 in uncracked concrete using the corresponding adjustment factors from
CSA A23.3 Annex D.
4. For designs under NBC2020, replace IEFaSa(0.2) with IES(0.2).
5. Factored resistances for seismic IEFaSa(0.2) ≥ 0.35 applications assumes ductile yielding in the attachment. See D.4.3.5.3 CSA A23.3 for more information.
6. Midwall loads apply when anchor is 1.5 le or greater from the end. For bolts acting in tension simultaneously, the minimum bolt centre-to-centre spacing is 3 le.
42 7. Full published values apply for two pour applications for slab on grade: edge.

Notes to the designer:

1. Rebar is required at top of stemwall foundations but is not required for Slab-on-Grade Edge and Garage Curb, or Stemwall Garage Front installations.
2. Minimum end distances for SSTB bolts are as shown in graphics.
3. Factored resistances have been developed based on testing per ICC AC399 in uncracked concrete using the corresponding adjustment factors
from CSA A23.3 Annex D.
4. For designs under NBC2020, replace IE Fa Sa (0.2) with IES(0.2).
5. Factored resistances for seismic IE Fa Sa (0.2) ≥ 0.35 applications assumes ductile yielding in the attachment. See D.4.3.5.3 CSA A23.3 for more information.
6. See ESR-2611 for additional information.
7. Midwall capacities apply when anchor is 1.5 le or greater from the end. For bolts acting in tension simultaneously, the minimum bolt centre-to-centre
spacing is 3 le.

Shallow Podium Slab

and Anchors
Anchor Kit
The Shallow Podium Slab anchor kit includes the patented Anchor Bolt
Locator (ABL) and patent-pending Shallow Anchor Rod (SAR). Uniquely
suited for installation to concrete-deck forms, the ABL enables accurate and
secure placement of anchor bolts. The structural heavy hex nut is attached
to a pre-formed steel “chair” and becomes the bottom nut of the anchor
assembly. The shallow anchor is provided with a plate washer fixed in place
that attaches on the ABL nut when assembled and increases the anchor
breakout and pullout capacity. The shallow anchor is easily installed before or
after placement of the slab reinforcing steel or tendons. Where higher anchor
capacities are needed such as at edge conditions or to meet seismic ductility
requirements, the anchor kit is combined with anchor reinforcement. Shallow Podium Slab

• Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
• Not for use where (a) a horizontal cold joint exists between
the slab and foundation wall or footing beneath, unless
provisions are made to transfer the load, or (b) anchors are
installed in slabs poured over foundation walls formed of LMA4Z
concrete block. All grout and concrete must have a minimum (LMA6Z similar)
f'c of 2000 psi (13.8 MPa).
• MASB — First fill CMU cell with concrete grout. Place MASB
into the grouted cell, and adjust into position. Attach mudsill
to anchor after the concrete cures.
• MAB15 — When used in monolithic slab or stemwall
construction, prior to installation, spread the MAB15 legs
to accommodate mudsill. Immediately after pouring and
screeding, insert into the concrete or grout. Attach the mudsill
to the anchor with 10d x 1 1⁄2" nails after the concrete cures.
When installed in grouted concrete block or solid pour for
a centre hole installation, drill a 3⁄4" hole through the mudsill MAB15
and install straps through the hole. Wrap MAB15 straps
around the mudsill and install 10d x 1 1⁄2" nails.

Mudsill anchors have always been a time-saving alternative to anchor

bolts, and the MASA anchors provide even greater load-carrying
capacity than our original MAS. As a result, the MASA provides an
alternative for 5⁄8" and 1⁄2" mudsill anchor bolts on 2x, double-2x
and 3x mudsills. Two versions of the MASA are available — the 41⁄4" 3 3⁄ 8"
standard MASA for installation on standard forms and the MASAP
for panelized forms. 4"

• Spalling — Full resistances apply for spalls up to a maximum
height of 1 1⁄4" and a maximum depth of 7⁄8". Any exposed
portion of the mudsill anchor must be protected against
possible corrosion.
• Minimum MASA end distance is 4" and minimum

General Information and Notes

Holdowns and tension ties represent key components
that comprise a continuous load path. In light-frame Shear from diaphragm
construction, holdowns are typically used to resist uplift

Tension Ties
panelized roof construction, holdowns are used to anchor
in collector in collector
the concrete or masonry walls to the roof framing.

Holdowns can be separated into two categories —

post-installed or cast-in-place. Cast-in-place holdowns,
such as the STHD holdowns or the PA purlin anchors are Force
installed at the time of concrete placement and attached applied by

The STHD is an embedded strap-tie holdown offering high load capacity and
a staggered nail pattern to help minimize splitting. The STHD incorporates
many features that aid correct installation and improve performance.
When installed on the forms with the StrapMate® strap holder, the unique STHD
design of the STHD delivers enhanced stability before and during the
pour to help prevent both parallel and perpendicular movement (relative
to the form). This results in accurate positioning of the strap and reduced
possibility of spalling.
Features
Embedment
• The nailing pattern allows for nailing to the edges of double 2x’s line
(top of
concrete)
• Strap nail slots are countersunk to provide a lower nail head profile
• The slots below the embedment line enable increased front-to-back
concrete bond and help to reduce spalling
• Rim joist (RJ) models accommodate up to a 17" clear span without
any loss of strap nailing
Material: LSTHD — 14 gauge; STHD — 12 gauge

1. Factored resistances have been increased 15% for short-term load duration. Reduce where other load durations govern.
2. The designer must specify anchor bolt type, length and embedment to ensure adequate anchorage to concrete.
3. Post design shall be by the designer. Tabulated values are based on a minimum wood member thickness in the direction of the fastener penetration.
Post may consist of multiple 2x members provided they are designed to act as one unit independently of the holdown fasteners.
4. Holdowns shall be installed centred along the width of the attached post.
5. Deflection at Factored Resistance includes fastener slip, holdown elongation and anchor bolt elongation (L = 4.5"). Additional elongation of
anchor bolts shall be accounted for by the designer when the length of the anchor bolt above the top of the concrete to the attachment at the
holdown is longer than 4 1/2". Similar consideration for floor to floor connections must be addressed by the designer.
6. Deflection values may be reduced linearly for lesser loads including specified wind loads at h/500.
7. When the LTTI31 is raised off the concrete or masonry wall, the factored resistances are 1890 lb. (8.41 kN) D.Fir–L and 1720 lb. (7.65 kN) S-P-F.
The deflection at factored resistance is 0.25" (6.35 mm).
8. Standard cut washers are required below the nut when using 1/2"- or 5/8"-diameter anchor bolts with LTTP2.
9. LTTP2 installed flush with the top of concrete using (15) 0.148" x 2 1/2" nails into the edge of 2x lumber has a factored resistance of 4090 lb. (18.19 kN)
with a deflection at factored resistance of 0.192" (4.9 mm) for both D.Fir–L and S-P-F.
10. LTTP2 installed flush with the top of concrete using (12) 0.148" x 1 1/2" nails into the wide face of 2x lumber has a factored resistance of 2970 lb. (13.21 kN)
with a deflection at factored resistance of 0.168" (4.3 mm) for both D.Fir–L and S-P-F.
11. When using structural composite lumber columns, screws must be applied to the wide face of the column (see p. 20 for details).

Need a Higher Capacity Holdown?

When one of our conventional holdowns doesn’t offer
enough overturning capacity for a multi-storey project,
consider specifying the Simpson Strong-Tie® Anchor
Strong-Rod® Systems
Tiedown System (ATS). ATS is a high-capacity overturning-
restraint system commonly used in 2–6 storey wood
structures to anchor stacked shearwalls. This continuous
rod system features our patented shrinkage take-up
devices, extends from the foundation to the top of the
structure and is restrained (tied off) at each level. Designed
properly, it can provide over 100000 lb. of overturning
restraint; important when designing for the cumulative
overturning forces in multi-storey buildings.

a. Uplift and lateral resistances have been increased 15% for earthquake
or wind loading with no further increase allowed. Reduce where other
load durations govern.
b. Downloads may not be increased for short-term loading, and shall be
reduced where limited by the post factored resistance.
c. For post bases with 1" standoffs, full bearing on concrete is required.
Standoffs shall bear on top of concrete and not be embedded into wet

in the 1" standoff area before installation of the post. Factored download
resistances shall be based on the capacity of the post, grout or concrete
according to the code. (Figure 1)
d. The designer is responsible for concrete design.
e. For post-installed bases, the designer must specify anchor bolt type,
length and embedment. Titen HD®, Stainless-Steel Titen HD and SET-3G™
are some of the retrofit anchor options. For more information, refer to
our Anchoring, Fastening, Restoration and Strengthening Systems for
Concrete and Masonry catalogue at strongtie.com.

f. Except for the MPBZ moment post base, post bases do not provide with 1" Standoff
adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and
are therefore not recommended for non-top-supported installations (such
as fences or unbraced carports). The top of the post must be restrained

a supporting structure or by adding knee bracing between the posts and
beams. (Figure 2) Alternatively, see the MPBZ on pp. 71–73 for a post
base that provides moment resistance for columns or posts. (Figure 3)
Uplift
g. For post bases that do not attach to all four sides of the post, the post
may be wider than the base and overhang the base in one direction
(e.g., a 6x8 post on an ABU66Z) as long as the bearing area provided
by the base is sufficient for the post.
h. For applications involving the use of a post base to support a wood
beam, refer to p. 74. F1
i. Structural composite lumber columns have sides that show either
the wide face or the edges of the lumber strands/veneers. Factored

from the beam to the column, the column must be designed to
receive the load without rotating about its base (e.g., cantilevered

a moment-resisting connector like the MPBZ post base).
l. Post cap factored resistances are for a continuous beam. Unless
otherwise noted, the beam may be spliced at the centreline of
the post, and the maximum allowable download for each spliced
beam is one half of the cap’s tabulated factored resistance. For Anchorage

3. For Uplift, F1 and M r, the factored resistance shall be the lower of the tabulated Concrete Anchorage or the Wood values shown.
4. Concrete shall have a minimum compressive strength f'c = 2500 psi (17.25 MPa).
5. For wet service conditions, multiply the Wood factored resistance or the Download by KSF = 0.67.

6. Tabulated rotational stiffness accounts for the rotation of the base assembly due to deflection of the connector, fastener slip and post deformation.
Designer must account for additional deflection due to bending of the post.
7. Factored resistances shown may be limited by the design capacity of the post.
8. Foundation dimensions are for MPBZ anchorage only. Foundation design (size and reinforcement) is the responsibility of the designer.
9. For loading simultaneously in more than one direction, the factored resistance must be evaluated using the following equation:
(Factored uplift / Uplift resistance + Factored F1 / F1 resistance + Factored moment / M r ) ≤ 1.0.
10. Tabulated values for MPB88Z require the foundation to be Lightly Reinforced at a minimum (see detail on p. 73).
Values are not applicable to unreinforced concrete.
11. Tabulated factored resistances may be used for rough sawn lumber or larger size posts without reduction factors. Rough-size and
larger-size posts shall be planed uniformly on all four sides such that centreline of post is concentric with the centreline of MPBZ.
12. For designs under NBC2020, replace IEFaSa(0.2) with IES(0.2).

CPTZ
Concealed Post Tie
The CPTZ post base incorporates a knife plate with a standoff
base. It achieves a clean, concealed look while providing a
1"-standoff height above concrete. The CPTZ is installed with
1⁄2"-diameter galvanized dowels (supplied). The 1"-standoff
height is code-required when supporting permanent structures
that are exposed to weather or water splash, or in basements.

Bases and Caps

The standoff reduces the potential for decay at post or 53⁄4"
column ends. It is part of a system of concealed connectors F1
that includes the CBTZ and CJTZ.
The anchorage for the CPTZ can be either cast-in-place or 1"
retrofit with adhesive or mechanical anchors. See our Anchoring
and Fastening Systems for Concrete and Masonry catalogue
for additional information concerning retrofit solutions. L

CPT44Z
Installation: (others similar)
• Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
• Use knife blade portion of CPTZ as a template to mark
dowel/bolt locations on post.
• Drill 1⁄2"-diameter holes perpendicular to post at marked
locations.
• Cut a 3⁄16"-wide slot in the end of the post. Cut slot on
face adjacent to the one with the holes. If using a circular
saw cut the slot roughly 6 1⁄2" up the post. Test that the
knife blade slides freely in the slot.
• Install the knife blade portion of the connector on the
anchor bolts and then place the supplied washers over
top of the connector’s tabs and on the anchor bolt. Use
nuts to attach the knife blade and washers to the anchors.
• The designer must specify anchor bolt type, length
and embedment.
CPTZ Components
C-C-CAN2022 © 2022 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE COMPANY INC.

• Slide the stand off base on to the knife blade assembly.

• Stand the post on the knife blade and drive in the dowels
supplied with the connector.
• See flier F-C-CPTZ at strongtie.com for additional installation 4x4 post
information and details.
Dowels (CJTPS)
• Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent
members from rotating about the base and therefore are
not recommended for non-top-supported installations

Column Caps
This product is preferable to similar connectors because
of (a) easier installation, (b) higher capacities, (c) lower
installed cost, or a combination of these features.

Column caps provide a strong connection for column-beam H

Bases and Caps

combinations. This design uses Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty
Connector screws to provide faster installation and provides a
greater net section area of the column compared to bolts. The
SDS screws provide for a lower profile compared to standard
through bolts.
Material: CCQ3, ECCQ3, CCQ4, CCQ4.62, ECCQ4, ECCQ4.62,
CCQ6, ECCQ6 — 7 gauge; all others — 3 gauge
Finish: Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint; available in HDG and
stainless steel; CCOQ and ECCOQ — no coating
Installation:
• Fasteners provided. See General Notes. ECCQ46SDS2.5 CCQ46SDS2.5
• Install 1⁄4" x 2 1⁄2" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector
screws, which are provided with the column cap. (Lag
screws will not achieve the same load.) Install stainless-steel
Strong-Drive SDS Heavy Duty Connector screws with
stainless-steel connectors.
Options:
• For end conditions, specify ECCQ.
• Straps may be rotated 90° where W1 ≥ W2 and for CCQ5-6.
• CCOQ and ECCOQ column caps only (no straps) may be
ordered for field-welding to pipe or other columns. Dimensions
are same as CCQ and ECCQ. Weld by designer.
• Other custom column caps are available. Contact

ECCLQ/CCCQ/CCTQ
Column Caps
The ECCLQ, CCCQ and CCTQ column caps provide high-capacity, multiple
beam-to-column connector options. The design uses Simpson Strong-Tie®
Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws to provide faster installation
and a lower profile compared to standard through bolts. Screws are 4"
configured to provide high uplift design values.

Installation:
• Install 1⁄4" x 2 1⁄2" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws,
which are provided, in all round holes. (Lag screws will not achieve
the same load.)
• No additional welding is allowed.
Options: ECCLLQ-SDS2.5

Column-to-beam connections often have multiple beams framing
on top of a column. L, T, and cross-column caps provide design
solutions for this application. Many combinations of beam and
post sizes can be manufactured (refer to worksheet T-CCLTC-WS
at strongtie.com for details) with the following criteria applied:

13640 lb. (60.68 kN). The sum of the loads for the side beam(s)
and main beam can not exceed the tabulated values. W3

• Uplift resistances do not apply for ECCL caps. For CCC and
CCT, uplift resistances from table apply for main beam only.
• The column width in the direction of the main beam width
must be the same as the main beam width (W1).
• Specify the stirrup height from the top of the cap. The
minimum side stirrup heights (H2 or H3) is 6 1⁄2" (3 1⁄2" for 44s).
• The L dimension may vary depending on the width of the
side stirrup (W3 or W4).

Ordering Multiple-Beam Column Caps

Ordering bolted column caps incorporate several key steps that are important to ensure the highest-capacity capacity
solution for your project. Here are some common steps to begin that process. For more information, refer to worksheet
T-CCLTC-WS for bolted connections and worksheet T-CCQLTC for Quick Install connections. See p. 2 of these
worksheets for model numbers for common post and beam width combinations. These worksheets are available
at strongtie.com.
1.  Choose Column Cap Style.

2.  Determine Column Cap Dimensions.

Fill in the dimensions of the column cap on the worksheet. If you don’t know the dimensions of
the column cap, go directly to the “Post and Beam Dimensions” section.
3.  Provide Post and Beam Dimensions. Specify

4.  Determine Beam Orientation.
Refer to your plans or check the configuration of the column cap you selected in order to determine
the orientation of the beam. Check the box for the beam orientation that best describes your beam
configuration: Beam B flush at bottom of Beam A; Beam B flush at both the top and bottom of
Beam A; or Beam B flush at top of Beam A.
5. Check the Box for the Required Style and Strap Orientation.
6.  Select Finish.
Standard finish is Simpson Strong-Tie® gray paint, available in HDG (specify HDG).

JB/JBA/LB/LBAZ/BA/HB
Joist, Beam and Purlin Top-Flange Hangers
This product is preferable to similar connectors because
of a) easier installation, b) higher capacities, c) lower
installed cost, or a combination of these features.

The BA hanger is a cost-effective hanger featuring min./max.

joist nailing option. Min. nailing featuring positive angle nailing

targets moderate load conditions whereas the Max. nailing
generates capacities for higher loads. The unique two level
embossment provides added stiffness to the top flange.
The LBAZ and JBA hangers provide higher capacities for
3"
2x10 and 2x12 members in 14-gauge and 18-gauge steel,
respectively. The nail locations on the JBA enable effective

LRUZ
Rafter Hanger
The LRUZ offers an economic alternative for those applications
requiring a sloped hanger for rafter-to-ridge connections. Used with
solid sawn rafters, the LRUZ’s unique design enables the hanger
to be installed either before or after the rafter is in place. The
field-adjustable seat helps improve job efficiency by eliminating
mismatched angles in the field and lead times associated with
special orders. The LRUZ offers comparable or better load capacity H
Solid Sawn Joist Hangers

to other rafter hangers at a reduced cost while using fewer fasteners.

Features:
• The open design and ability to field-adjust the slope
makes the LRUZ ideal for both retrofit or new applications.
• Accommodates roof pitches from 0:12 to 14:12.
B
• Slopes up or down to 45° (12:12). For downward slopes
greater than 45° up to 49° (14:12), factored normal resistance
is 0.85 of table values.
W
• For added versatility, the fasteners on the face of the
hanger are placed high enabling the bottom of the rafter LRU28Z

points on each joist nail for greater strength. It also allows 2"
the use of fewer nails, faster installation, and the use
of common nails for all connections. (Do not bend or
remove tabs)

Material: See tables, pp. 154–165.

Finish: Galvanized. Some products available in stainless
steel or ZMAX®; See Corrosion Information, pp. 16–21
Installation:
• Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
• Do not use double-shear hangers with I-joists.
• Nails must be driven at an angle through the joist into
the header to achieve the tabulated values.
• Not designed for welded or nailer applications. HUS412
HHUS410
• Where 16d commons are specified, 10d commons
may be used at 0.83 of the tabulated factored
resistance.
• With 2x carrying members, use 10d x 1 1⁄2" nails into
the header and 10d commons into the joist, and
reduce the tabulated factored resistance to 0.64 of
the table value.
Options:
• HUS cannot be modified.
• Other sizes available; contact Simpson Strong-Tie

High-Capacity Girder Hangers
The GU hangers are high-capacity girder hangers designed for situations where the
header and joist are flush at top. This part can be used for retrofit on the framing
members after they are temporarily placed in position. It uses Simpson Strong-Tie®
Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws to make installation fast and
easy, with no predrilling required.
Features:
• Fire-resistant F (flame) and T (temperature)

• Alternatively, the Strong-Drive SDS 1/4" x 2 1/2" face screws supplied with carrying member
these hangers may be replaced with SDS 1/4" x 3 1/2" or SDS 1/4" x 5" screws thickness = 21⁄2"
for two-ply or three-ply LVL headers to transfer the hanger load to all plies.
This alternate fastener option does not eliminate the need for uniform fastener
requirements along the length of the multi-ply header.
• All multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit.
• Multiple member headers may require additional fasteners at the hanger
locations. The quantity and location of the additional fasteners must be
determined by the designer.

1. Factored uplift resistances have been increased for earthquake and wind loading, with no further increase allowed.
2. Specify H dimension. The designer should check the shear capacity of the carried member to make sure it matches
the hanger’s capacity. Maximum H = 30".
3. Header depth must exceed the ha dimension shown and is based on the size necessary to fit screw pattern.
Use the next size up that meets the minimum depth requirement.

1. 10d common nails may be used instead of the specified 16d nails at 0.83 of the tabulated value.
2. Uplift loads have been increased 15% for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed.
Reduce by 15% for standard term loading (KD = 1.00) such as in cantilever construction.
3. Min. nailing quantity and load values — fill all round holes; Max. nailing quantity and load values — fill all round and triangle holes.
4. D.Fir–L factored resistances can be used for most LVL. Verify with manufacturer prior to selecting hanger.
5. Web stiffeners are required when the top flange of the I-joist is not supported laterally by the hanger.
6. Web stiffeners are required when supporting double I-joists with flanges less than 1 5⁄16" thick.
7. These hangers are for rectangular sections only and are not recommended for use with I-joists.
8. For 16 and 18 gauge, 3 1⁄2" wide I-joist hangers, web stiffeners are required when the factored reaction is greater than 2330 lb. (10.36 kN).
9.  Nails: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3 1⁄2" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10d x 1 1⁄2" = 0.148" dia. x 1 1⁄2" long. See pp. 22–24 for other nail sizes and information.

US Patent:
The innovative ITS sets the standard for engineered wood top-flange 8,250,827
hangers. The ITS installs faster and uses fewer nails than any other
EWP top-flange hanger. The Strong-Grip™ seat and Funnel Flange™
features allow standard joist installation without requiring joist nails LT
resulting in the lowest installed cost. The Strong-Grip seat firmly
secures I-joists with flange thicknesses from 1 1⁄8" to 1 1⁄2".
LT

The LT series of top-flange hangers is designed for use with

wood I-joists. Installation is fast and easy. The hanger’s top flange
simplifies placement and the side flanges laterally support the I-joist
top flange eliminating the need for web stiffeners. Securing the
carried I-joist is simple with only one or two screws required into
the bottom flange through the seat of the hanger.
MIT/HIT — Patented Positive Angle Nailing (PAN)
PAN is specifically designed for I-joists when used with the MIT or
HIT. With PAN, the nail hole material is not removed, but is formed
to channel and confine the path of the nail at approximately 45°.
PAN minimizes splitting of the flanges while permitting time-saving LT Installation

Installation:
• Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes and nailer table.
• BA and HB may be used for weld-on applications. The minimum size
weld is a 2"-long fillet weld to each side of each top flange; weld size
to match hanger material thickness. Distribute the weld equally on both
top flanges. Welding cancels the top and face nailing requirements.
Consult the code for special considerations when welding galvanized
steel. The area should be well-ventilated, see p. 15, note m for
weld information. Weld on applications produce the maximum BA Supporting

GLS/HGLS
Heavy-Duty Saddle Hangers
The GLS/HGLS heavy-duty saddle hangers are designed for use
with glulam or timber members using N54A nails or with structural
composite lumber using 1/4" x 2 1/2" Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty
Connector screws. The Funnel Flange™ design allows for easy
installation of beams.
Material: 3 ga. top flange; 7 ga. stirrup
Finish: Simpson Strong-Tie® gray paint.
Composite Lumber Connectors

Hot-dip galvanized is available; specify HDG.

I-Joist, Glulam and Structural

Installation:
• Use all specified fasteners. Verify that the header can take
the required fasteners specified in the table.
• Flatten edge of header to match top flange radius.
• Bevel cut the carried beam for skewed hangers.
• For hangers exceeding the joist height by more than 1⁄2",
GLS
the factored resistance is 50% of the table value.
• N54A nails are included with GLS and HGLS hangers.
N54A nails should not be used with structural composite
lumber or I-joists. When installing GLS or HGLS on
structural composite lumber, use 1/4" × 2 1/2" Strong-Drive
SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screw in lieu of the N54A nails.
• To order, specify H1, H2, W1, W2 and S dimensions
(see illustration).
Options:
•  GLS and HGLS series seats may be skewed to a maximum
of 50° and/or sloped to a maximum of 45°.
• For skews greater than 15°, multiply the tabulated factored
uplift resistance by 0.50.
• For sloped only, multiply the table value by 0.78 for GLS
to a maximum of 8135 lb. For HGLS multiply the table value
by 0.85 to a maximum of 12605 lb.

C-C-CAN2022 © 2022 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE COMPANY INC.

• For skewed only, multiply the table value by 0.87 for GLS
to a maximum of 9510 lb. For HGLS multiply the table value
by 0.73 to a maximum of 10890 lb. HGLS
•  For sloped and skewed GLS configurations, multiply the
table values by 0.78 to a maximum of 8130 lb. Sloped and W
2
skewed combinations are not allowed for HGLS.
• Top flange may be offset left or right for placement at the SK
end of a header. Minimum seat width 3 1⁄4". The maximum
factored resistance is 0.50 of the table value for GLS
and 0.45 for HGLS.
Side 2
• For skewed and offset top-flange hangers, the maximum
factored resistance is 5085 lb.
S
• Top flange may be sloped down to the left or right up to 30°.
Reduce tabulated factored resistances using the following
reduction factor based on linear interpolation (90– α) / 90;
where α is the angle measure from the horizontal. This Side 1
reduction is not cumulative with other load reductions. (Reference side)

1. When I-joist is used as a header, all header fasteners must be 10d x 1 1⁄2".
See foonotes on pp. 167 and 171 for reduction values when flange material is less than 1 1⁄2" thick.
2. See pp. 166–182 for specific notes on individual model types.
3. For 16 and 18 gauge, 3 1⁄2"-wide I-joist hangers, web stiffeners are required when the factored reaction is greater than 2330 lb. (10.36 kN).

THAI
I-Joist and Structural Composite Lumber Hangers
Designed for I-joists, the THAI has extra long straps and can be Min. of 2½" of top flange
field-formed to give height adjustability and top flange hanger material for min. nailing
convenience. Positive angle nailing helps eliminate splitting of the configuration
I-joist’s bottom flange.
Material: THAI-2 — 14 gauge; all others — 18 gauge
Finish: Galvanized

Composite Lumber Connectors

Installation:

I-Joist, Glulam and Structural

• THAI-2 must be factory-ordered for hanger width needed.
See table for allowable widths.
• Use all specified fasteners. Verify that the header can take the
required fasteners specified in the table.
• Web stiffeners are required for all I-joists used with these hangers.
Typical THAI-2 Installation
• When a total of 20 face nails are used in THAI straps, or
30 face nails are used in THAI-2 straps, the maximum factored
resistance is achieved. Do not nail within
1⁄ 4"
of multiple-ply Min. of 21⁄2"
seam of top flange
• A minimum nailing configuration is shown for top nailing material for
installations. The strap must be field-formed over the top of
THAI

1. Factored uplift resistances include a 15% increase for earthquake or wind loading; no further increase is allowed; reduce when other loads govern.
2. For LSSR210-2Z and LSSR410Z slope-only installations, the four triangle holes may be filled for a factored resistance of 4325 lb. (D.Fir–L) or 3070 lb. (SPF).
3. Minimum 9½" joist height required for all LSSR hangers and 11" for all LSU hangers.
4. On the acute side of the skewed LSSR hangers, fill obround holes only.
5. For LSSR installations, 16d nails may be substituted with 0.162" dia. x 2 1/2" nails and 10d nails may be substituted with 0.148" dia. x 2 1/2" nails
with no reduction in capacity.
6.  Nails: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3 1/2" long ; 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long; 10d x 1 1/2" = 0.148" dia. x 1 1/2" long; 16d x 2 1/2" = 0.162" dia. x 2 1/2" long.

Skewed 45° Hangers for I-Joist and SCL
This product is preferable to similar connectors because of
a) easier installation, b) higher loads, c) lower installed cost,
or a combination of these features.

The SUR/L1.81, 2.06, 2.1, 2.37, 2.56 and HSUR/L series are 45°
skewed hangers designed specifically to ease the installation of single
and double I-joists. In addition to positive angle nailing these hangers
Composite Lumber Connectors

encapsulate the top flange of the I-joist, so no web stiffeners are

I-Joist, Glulam and Structural

required for standard installation.

The full range of 45° skewed hangers feature obround nail holes on
the acute side allowing nails to be easily installed parallel to the header
and joist. Installation is further simplified with no required bevel cuts.
Material: See table
Finish: Galvanized. Some products available in ZMAX® coating; SUL2.56 /11 HSUR
see Corrosion Information, pp. 16–21.
Installation:
• Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.

• Illustrations show left and right skews SUR/L A2 A1 A2
(SUR = skewed right; SUL = skewed left).
• The joist end may be square cut or bevel cut.
• Web stiffeners are required for I-joist applications for all
hangers requiring more than two joist fasteners or where

1. Factored uplift resistances have been increased 15% for wind or earthquake loading; no further increase is allowed.
Reduce where other load durations govern.
2. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws that penetrate all plies of the supporting girder (screws must penetrate a minimum of 1" into the
last ply of the truss) may also be used to transfer the load through all of the plies of the supporting girder. When Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector
screws do not penetrate all plies of the supporting girder, supplemental Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws at the hanger locations may
be required to transfer the load to the truss plies not penetrated by the face fasteners, as determined by the designer. 3"-long Strong-Drive SDS header
fasteners may be replaced with 4 1⁄2"- or 6"-long Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws with no reduction in capacity.
3. Resistances shown are based on a minimum two-ply 2x8 carrying member. For single 2x carrying members, replace the 3"-long Strong-Drive SDS
Heavy-Duty Connector screws with 1 1⁄2"-long Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws and reduce the factored normal resistances to
3820 lb. (16.99 kN) D.Fir–L and 2750 lb. (12.23 kN) S-P-F. The tabulated uplift resistances do not change.
4. Girders must be adequately laterally braced to prevent excessive displacement due to secondary torsional stresses.
5. As per 12.2.2.5 CSA O86-14, the carrying member must be evaluated using a reduced cross-sectional area at the hanger location.
The reduction in area is equal to seven (7) 1⁄4" diameter x 3" long holes (1 1⁄2" long for 1⁄4" x 1 1⁄2" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screw).

LUL/LUS/LJS/HUS/HHUS/HGUS
Standard and Double-Shear Joist Hangers
1" for 2x’s
This product is preferable to similar connectors because of 11⁄16" for 4x’s
a) easier installation, b) higher capacities, c) lower installed
cost, or a combination of these features.

Most hangers in this series have double-shear nailing — an innovation

that distributes the load through two points on each joist nail for greater
strength. This allows for fewer nails, faster installation, and the use of all
common nails for the same connection. (Do not bend or remove tabs)
Double-shear hangers range from the light capacity LUS hangers to the
highest capacity HGUS hangers. For medium load truss applications, the
HUS offers a lower cost alternative and easier installation than the HGUS
hangers, while providing greater load capacity and bearing than the LUS.

Installation:
• Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
• Nails must be driven at an angle through the joist or truss into the
header to achieve the tabulated resistances (except LUL).
• Where 16d commons are specified, 10d commons may be used
at 0.83 of the tabulated factored resistance.
• Not designed for welded or nailer applications.
• With single ply 2x carrying members, use 10d x 1 1⁄2" nails into the
header and 10d commons into the joist, and reduce the resistance to
0.64 of the table value where 16d nails are specified and 0.77 where
10d nails are specified.

The THA series have extra long straps that can be field-formed to
give height adjustability and top-flange hanger convenience. THA
hangers can be installed as top-flange or face-mount hangers.
The THA218-2, THA222-2, THA418, THA422, and THA426
models have added nail holes in the straps to ease top-flange
installation and provide more nail hole options for meeting

1. Factored uplift resistances have been increased 15% for short-term loading; no further increase is permitted.
2. A minimum two-ply 2x carrying member is required for the tabulated resistances. With single-ply 2x carrying members use
¼" x 1½" Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws into the carrying member and multiply the tabulated down capacities x 0.68.
3. Tablulated two-member connection capacities assume that 75% of the total load is distributed to the hip and 25% to the jack.
It is permitted to distribute between 65% and 85% of the total load to the hip and the remaining load to the jack. The combined hip
and jack loads may not exceed the total published factored resistances.
4. For terminal hips with no centre jack, divide the total factored resistance by two to determine the factored resistance for each hip.
5. Tablulated three-member connection capacities assume that each hip carries 40% of the total load and the jack carries 20%. Other hip/jack
load distributions are permitted if the sum of all three carried members does not exceed the total load and the hips are equally loaded.
6. When Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws are installed through metal truss plates, the application must be approved by the
truss designer. Predrilling using a 5⁄32" bit is required.
7. As per 12.2.2.5 CSA O86-14, the carrying member must be evaluated using a reduced cross sectional area at the hanger location. The reduction
in area shall be based on seven (7) ¼"-diameter holes on a 2x8 bottom chord and five (5) ¼"-diameter holes on a 2x6 bottom chord.

1. Factored uplift resistances have been increased 15% for wind or earthquake loading; no further increase is allowed.
Reduce where other load durations govern.
2. Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws that penetrate all plies of the supporting girder (screws must penetrate
a minimum of 1" into the last ply of the truss) may also be used to transfer the load through all of the plies of the supporting girder.
When Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws do not penetrate all plies of the supporting girder, supplemental Strong-Drive
SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws at the hanger locations may be required to transfer the load to the truss plies not penetrated
by the face fasteners, as determined by the designer. 3"-long Strong-Drive SDS header fasteners may be replaced with
4 1⁄2"- or 6"-long Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws with no reduction in capacity.
3. Resistances shown are based on a minimum two-ply 2x8 carrying member. For single 2x carrying members, replace the 3"-long Strong-Drive
SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws with 1 1⁄2"-long Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws and reduce the factored normal resistances
to 3820 lb. (16.99 kN) D.Fir–L and 2750 lb. (12.23 kN) S-P-F. The tabulated uplift resistances do not change.
4. Girders must be adequately laterally braced to prevent excessive displacement due to secondary torsional stresses.
5. As per 12.2.2.5 CSA O86-14, the carrying member must be evaluated using a reduced cross-sectional area at the hanger location.
The reduction in area is equal to seven (7) 1⁄4"-diameter x 3"-long holes (1 1⁄2" long for 1⁄4" x 1 1⁄2" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screw).

This product is preferable to similar connectors because of 71⁄4" 9"
a) easier installation, b) higher capacities, c) lower installed cost,
or a combination of these features.

A lower cost alternative to bolted hangers, the THGQ and THGQH

hangers for multi-ply girder trusses use Simpson Strong-Tie®
Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws to provide high load
capacities and easier installation compared to bolts. The Strong-Drive 30"

greater than the screw length. For applications where the (THGQ3-SDS4.5 (others similar)
length of the supplied screws exceeds the thickness of the similar)
supporting girder, 3" or 4 1⁄2" screws may be substituted for
the longer length screws with no load reduction, or a shim
block may be used as approved by the designer.
• Girders must be adequately laterally braced to prevent
excessive displacement due to secondary torsional stresses.
• Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws driven
through truss plates must be approved by the designer.
Predrilling using a 5⁄32" bit is required.
Options:
• THGQH hangers for multi-ply truss girders may be skewed 45º.

TBE
Truss Bearing Enhancer
One size works with any number of girder plys. The TBE transfers load from
the truss or girder to plates for bearing-limited conditions, and provides
exceptional uplift capacity. Replaces nail-on scabs that provide lower load
transfer, or in some cases, an additional ply when needed for bearing.
The table lists factored resistances for TBE4 used on 2x4 and TBE6 used
on 2x6 top plates. The tables give the different resistances calculated for
TBE with and without wood bearing. See below for Alternate Installation.
Material: 18 gauge
Finish: Galvanized. See Corrosion Information, pp. 16–21.
Installation:
• Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
• TBE must be installed in pairs.

1. Factored resistances are for two TBEs only. Wood factored bearing resistance may be added as shown in the table.
2. Factored bearing resistances shown assume Qr/Ab and Qr'/Ab' = 812 psi (5.60 MPa) for D.Fir–L and 614 psi (4.24 MPa) for S-P-F.
See clause 6.5.4 TPIC 2014 for required bearing reinforcement when compression loads are applied to both sides of truss member.
3. Factored uplift resistances have been increased 15% for short-term load duration with no further increase allowed;
reduce resistances by 15% for standard term load duration.
4. Factored resistances are determined by nail shear calculations or tests of the metal connectors.
The attached wood members must be designed to withstand the loads imposed by the nails.
5. Use lower of top plate or wood truss species.
6. Total bearing length, TBL, equals the plate width plus simulated bearing length provided by the TBE.
TBE4 = 3 1⁄2" plate width; TBE6 = 5 1⁄2" plate width.
7.  Nails: 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10d x 1 1⁄2" = 0.148" dia. x 1 1⁄2" long. See pp. 22–24 for other nail sizes and information.

Continuous Load Path

This drawing shows the connection points
for a continuous load path from the rafters
to the foundation of a two-story house.
Building with a continuous load path is
an essential part of creating a structure
better able to withstand the forces of
mother nature.
This drawing is for illustrative purposes
only and should not be considered an
engineered system. Refer to the page
numbers for the full range of Simpson
Strong-Tie® connectors. Consult a Typical Roof/Wall Connections
qualified designer to ensure pp. 274–277, 281–282
that correct connector quantities
and installation methods are
used to achieve the full

Straps and Ties General Notes

These general notes are provided to ensure proper installation of Simpson Strong-Tie straps and ties.
a. Short-term load duration values (KD = 1.15) have been increased 15% for wind or earthquake loading,
with no further increase allowed. Reduce where other loads govern.
b. When installing straps over wood structural panel sheathing (maximum 5/8" thick), use 2 1/2" long nails.
c. See pp. 22–24 for additional fastener information.
d. For straight straps in tension, use half of the fasteners in each member being connected to achieve the tabulated values.
e. Tension values apply for uplift when installed vertically.
f. Field-bending straps is not recommended unless otherwise noted.
g. If wood splitting is a concern, consider spacing the nails at every other location.
h. The cut length of coil strap shall be equal to twice the “end length” noted in the tables plus the clear-span dimension.
i. Straps 16 ga. and heavier can be fillet welded to structural steel members. The designer shall specify the weld size
and length. Welding and specifications shall be in accordance with CSA W59.

Straps and Ties General Notes

Considerations for Hurricane Tie Selection
1. What is the uplift resistance?
2. What is the parallel-to-plate resistance?
3. What is the perpendicular-to-plate resistance?
4. What is the species of wood used for the rafter and the top plates?
(Select the load table based on the lowest performing species of wood.)
5. Will the hurricane tie be nailed into both top plates or the upper top plate only?
6. What load or loads will the hurricane tie be taking?

Factored resistances for more than one direction for a single

connection cannot be added together. A design load which can
be divided into components in the directions given must be
evaluated as follows:
Factored Uplift / Uplift Resistance + Factored Parallel to Plate /
Parallel to Plate Resistance + Factored Perpendicular to Plate /
Perpendicular to Plate Resistance < 1.0.
The three terms in the unity equation are due to possible directions
that exist to generate force on a hurricane tie. The actual number
of terms used in the equation for each condition is dependent on
designer’s method of calculating wind forces and the utilization of
the tie in the structural system.

7. Select hurricane tie based on performance, application, installed cost and ease of installation.

Some hurricane ties and twist straps can be installed Avoid a Misinstallation

1. Factored resistances have been increased 15% for short-term loading; no further increase is allowed.
Reduce values by 15% for standard term loading.
2. RSP4 factored lateral resistance is 345 lb. (1.53 kN) D-Fir–L and 245 lb. (1.09 kN) S-P-F for F1 direction.
The factored resistance in the F2 direction is 175 lb. (0.78 kN) D.Fir–L and 125 lb. (0.51 kN) S-P-F.
These values apply to both single- and double-plate applications.
3. When cross-grain bending or cross-grain tension cannot be avoided, mechanical reinforcement to resist
such forces should be considered.
4. Tabulated values for SP4, SPH4, SP6, SPH6, SP8 and SPH8 assume loads are applied through the centre
of the stud or plates (concentric loading). For applications where the load is applied to the connector through
one side of the stud or plates (eccentric loading) multiply the tabulated values by 0.50.
5.  Nails: 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10d x 1 1⁄2" = 0.148" dia. x 1 1⁄2" long, 8d x 1 1⁄2" = 0.131" dia. x 1 1⁄2" long.

LTP4/LTP5/A34/A35
Framing Angles and Plates
The larger LTP5 spans subfloor at the top of the
blocking or rim joist. The embossments enhance
performance and the min./max. nailing option allows
for design flexibility.
The LTP4 lateral tie plate transfers shear forces for
top plate-to-rim joist or blocking connections. Nail
holes are spaced to prevent wood splitting for single
and double top-plate applications. May be installed
over plywood sheathing.
The A35 angle’s exclusive bending slot allows instant,
accurate field bends for all two- and three-way ties. LTP4
Balanced, completely reversible design permits the
A35 to secure a great variety of connections.

HSLQ
Heavy Shear Transfer Angle
The HSLQ heavy shear transfer angle is designed to transfer lateral loads
from wood solid sawn joists or blocking into a wood solid sawn element
such as a moment frame nailer. The angle offers versatility by allowing
up to a 2" gap between the structural members and easy installation with
Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws
that are included with the HSLQ. The HSLQ is manufactured with a gap
indication notch to make proper installation easy.
Material: 12 gauge W1

Finish: Galvanized, available in HDG

Installation:
• Use all specified fasteners: see General Notes. W2 L

• Use long leg with notch indicator.

(Notch indicates maximum allowed gap.)
HSLQ37
• Minimum 4x8 wood members are required. (HSLQ312, HSLQ47,
HSLQ412 similar)
• Add filler shims where required in order not to load the angle
in any direction other than lateral, as indicated.

HU/HUC
Face-Mount Hangers
HU and HUC products are heavy duty face mount joist hangers. Concealed flanges

Material: 14 gauge
Finish: Galvanized; ZMAX® available
Installation:
• Attach the hangers to concrete or GFCMU walls using
hex-head Titen Turbo™ screws. Titen Turbo screw anchors
for GFCMU (1/4" x 2 3/4" — Model TNT25234H) and for concrete
(1/4" x 1 3/4" — Model TNT25134H) are not provided with
the hangers.
• Drill and prep the holes according to the Installation Instructions
provided with the packaging for Titen Turbo screw anchors.
• Caution: Oversized holes in the base material will reduce
or eliminate the mechanical interlock of the threads with the
base material and will reduce the anchor’s load capacity.
• The hangers should be installed such that a minimum HUC410
end distance of 3 7/8" and a minimum edge distance of 1 1⁄2"
is maintained.
• Where no uplift resistance is required, a minimum edge and Titen Turbo
end distance of 1 1/2" is permitted. Hex-Head Screw

1. Factored uplift resistances have been increased 15% for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed.
The values shown assume a D.Fir–L joist in the hanger and are based on nail values only. The designer must ensure the joist
can generate the resistances shown based on the effective shear depth de. For S-P-F joist multiply uplift value by 0.71.
2. Factored resistances assume Type S mortar with f'm = 1087 psi (7.5 MPa) for 15 MPa concrete block masonry as per
Table 4 CSA S304-14. For values of f'm < 1085 psi (7.5 MPa) multiply the tabulated values by (f'm / 1085)0.5.
3. Factored resistances assume a 28-day concrete compressive strength of f'c = 2500 psi (17.25 MPa).
For values of f'c < 2500 psi (17.25 MPa) multiply the tabulated values by (f'c / 2500)0.5.
4. The designer must ensure the joist can generate the factored normal resistances shown.
5. de is the dimension from the bearing seat to the top joist nail.
6. Products shall be installed such that Titen Turbo screws are not exposed to weather.
7.  Nails: 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10d x 1 1⁄2" = 0.148" dia. x 1 1⁄2" long.

ICFVL
Ledger Connector System
The ICFVL ledger connector system is engineered to solve the
challenges of mounting wood or steel ledgers to insulated concrete 17⁄32"
form (ICF) walls. The ICFVL is designed to provide both vertical
"
and lateral in-plane performance. The system offers many benefits 3½
over traditional anchor bolting, including better on-centre spacing
in most cases, faster installation and no protrusions.
The new ICFVL8 is designed to accommodate foam thicknesses up
to 4 1/2" whereas the new ICFVL6 replaces the current ICFVL model
for foam thicknesses up to 3 1/4".
The embedded legs of the ICFVL are embossed for additional
stiffness and the hole enables concrete to flow through and around
the connector. The exposed flange on the face of the ICF provides 2"
5⁄3
a structural surface for mounting either a wood or steel ledger. 62

ICFVL
Ledger Connector System (cont.)
The following spacing tables are an alternative to the ICFVL spacing to replace the building code prescribed anchor bolts
spacing for vertical loads only. They provide the recommended spacing of the ICFVL ledger connectors based on the
factored vertical resistance of the connector, the load on the floor, and the span of the joist. The designer must determine
the design load, the ledger design and the joist design. This table is useful if the designer already has loads and spans,
but not necessarily anchor bolt spacing.

DTT2Z/DTT2SS
Deck Post Connectors
The DTT2 is a safe, cost-effective way to attach deck-railing posts to the deck
framing. Because the post is tied back into the deck joists, rather than to the rim
joist alone, the connection is stronger than typical through-bolt installations. The
DTT2 can be used for laterally tying the deck to the house. Additionally, the versatile 31⁄4"
DTT2 is load rated as a holdown for light-duty shearwalls and braced-wall panel
applications. The DTT2 fastens easily to a single 2x joist or stud using Simpson
Strong-Tie® Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (included) and
accepts a 1⁄2" machine bolt or anchor bolt.
The DTT2SS is made from stainless steel for applications in higher-exposure
environments. Whether it’s a deck guardrail post application or the lateral-load
connection from the deck to the adjacent structure, the stainless-steel DTT2 is
the best choice for seaside applications or those calling for more corrosive
preservative-treated lumber formulations. It fastens to the framing members
with stainless-steel Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector
615⁄1
screws (included). 6"
The DTT2Z-SDS2.5 is our standard DTT2Z packaged with 2 1⁄2" Simpson Strong-Tie
Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws instead of the standard 1 1⁄2"
fasteners. These longer screws allow the DTT2Z to achieve a higher capacity
when used as a holdown on double S-P-F studs in a shearwall application. The
DTT2Z-SDS2.5 is also suitable in deck applications when double 2x members
1 5⁄8 1 5⁄8
are used for deck joists or blocking. " "

1. Factored resistances have been increased 15% for short-term load duration; reduce where other load durations govern.
2. Tension values are valid for holdowns flush or raised off of the sill plate.
3. Installations shown are for post to joist connections, however these products can be used as a
holdown or tension tie for other applications. If used as a holdown or tension tie, the following apply:
a. The designer must specify anchor bolt type, length and embedment to ensure adequate anchorage to concrete.
b. When using structural composite lumber columns, screws must be applied to the wide face of the column.
c. Post design shall be by the designer. Tabulated values are based on a minimum wood member thickness
in the direction of the fastener penetration. Post may consist of multiple 2x members provided they are
designed to act as one unit independently of the holdown fasteners.
d. Holdowns shall be installed centred along the width of the attached post.
e. Deflection at Factored Resistance includes fastener slip, holdown elongation and anchor bolt elongation (L = 6").
Additional elongation of anchor bolts shall be accounted for by the designer when the length of the anchor bolt
above the top of the concrete to the attachment at the holdown is longer than 6". Similar consideration for
floor to floor connections must be addressed by the designer.
4. Deflection values may be reduced linearly for lesser loads including specified wind loads at h/500.

NCA/TB/LTB
Bridging
NCA — Nailless installation eliminates callbacks for nail squeaks. Designed Space bridging to avoid contact noises.
for secure grip before the drive-home blow, and deeper prong penetration.
Precision-formed into a rigid “V” section.
TB — Tension-type bridging with maximum nailing flexibility. Use just two
of the seven nail holes at each end. NCA2x8-16, 2x10-16, 2x12-16 models only
LTB — Staggered nail pattern accommodates 2x8 and 2x10 joists. Use
just two of the six nail holes at each end. LTB40 has rigid prongs that install
easily into the joist, and embossments that allow crisp bends.
Material: LTB — 22 gauge; NCA and TB — 20 gauge
(except NCA2x12-16 — 18 gauge) NCA
Finish: Galvanized
Installation: • Support floor joists with a depth-to-thickness ratio of six or
more with bridging at intervals not exceeding 8'. If span is greater than 8',
install on 2x8 or larger joists. If span is greater than 16', use more than one pair. TB
• Tension bridging works only in tension, so must be used in cross pairs.
• Install bridging tightly; loose installation may allow floor movement.
• NCA may be installed before or after sheathing, from the top or bottom. LTB20
Simply locate the bend line approximately 1" from the joist edge.
• NCA has nail holes in one end for use if a prong is bent during installation.
Fully seat nails if they are used; otherwise, they may lead to squeaks.
• TB requires two 10d x 1 1⁄2" fasteners per end. LTB40
• LTB requires two 6d commons per end
• Nail Bridging Only — When installation for the connection to the top
of the stud wall instead of the joist underside, use a strap one size smaller
than shown in the table.
• NCA, TB or LTB tension bridging does not replace prescriptive floor

Outdoor Accents Structural Wood Screw

Decorative Hardware

The Outdoor Accents structural wood screw reduces installation time by driving
easily without predrilling. When combined with the patented, load-rated Outdoor
Accents Hex-Head Washer, the solution delivers the decorative appearance of a
bolt connection but with a much easier installation. The structural wood screw is
now available in three sizes: 2", 3 1/2" and 5 1/2". The 3 1/2" and 5 1/2" screws are ideal
WS25

for structural applications. They feature a bold thread design that enables superior WS25
2

holding to attach ledgers and other secure connections. The 2" screw is ideal
for use with 2x lumber, and for adding style to any DIY project. Note: The 2" screw 2
has lower load values than the 3 1/2" and 5 1/2" screws. It may not be substituted
where the longer screws are required. The structural screw and washer are sold 3 1/2"
separately from each other and from the Outdoor Accents connectors. to 5 1/2"
Features:
• Use Outdoor Accents Structural Wood Screw solitarily as a
wood-to-wood fastener 2"

•  Patented SawTooth point (3 1/2" and 5 1/2" screws only) reduces installation
®

torque and eliminate the need for predrilling in most applications.

Type-17 point on 2" screw ensures easy installation with no predrilling.
• Underhead nibs offer greater control when seating the head

CJTZ
Concealed Joist Ties
The CJTZ is a concealed connector. It can be
installed three ways: with no routing of header/post
or beam; a routed header/post, or a routed beam.
Material: CJTZ —12 gauge
Finish: Galvanized
Installation:
• Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
• The CJTZ is supplied with all dowels
and screws required. Screws require a
hex-head driver.
• Router end of beam for screw heads for
flush installation.
• To provide maximum beam width for use
with short dowels, centre in beam.
• The joist/beam may be sloped to 45° with
full tabulated resistances. 16
• See technical bulletin T-C-CJTZ at CJT5Z
strongtie.com for Installation Instructions (others similar)
and ordering information.
Options:
• To order: specify short (e.g. CJT3ZS) or long
dowels (e.g., CJT3ZL). Warning: This connector requires

1. Factored resistances shown are based on the lower of the tested assembly or the effective shear capacity of the joist, assuming de = 0.75d
per 12.2.1.5 CSA O86-14. For other joist sizes or configurations that meet the minimum dimensional requirements shown in the
installation details, the connection capacity is the lower of the effective shear of the joist vs. the highest tabulated value
for the specific model number based on the glulam species shown.
2. Minimum member sizes shown are not required edge distances for fire resistance ratings.
Fire resistance ratings shall be determined by the Engineer of Record. 2"
3. Minimum edge distance for SDS screws is 1 1/2". 45°
4. Factored uplift resistances shown are for installation through the top of the joist at 45º into
the header using SDWC15600. See installation details.
5. For attachment to columns, the header fasteners supplied will be 6" long (SDS25600).
For attachment to beams, the header fasteners supplied will be 3" long (SDS25300).

Do not increase value for short-term load duration.
2. Factored resistances have been calculated in accordance with CSA O86-14 assuming dry service condition (KS = 1.00)
and seasoned lumber (moisture content ≤ 15%) at time of fabrication. For unseasoned lumber (moisture content > 15%)
multiply tablulated values by 0.80. For wet service condition multiply tablulated values by 0.67.
3. Do not use ETB connectors with preservative-treated woods.
4. Factored resistances shown are the lower of the test value, the fasterner capacity or the effective shear capacity
of the joist assuming joist and headers are same species.
5. Substitution for fasteners is not permitted. All fasteners must be used as specified.

Strong-Drive SD CONNECTOR and SD CONNECTOR SS Screws

®

Structural Fastener
Simpson Strong-Tie offers the Strong-Drive SD Connector (SD) and SD Connector
SS (SD SS) screws for use with our connectors. Designed to replace nails in
certain products, the load-rated SD and SD SS screws have been tested and
approved for use in many popular Simpson Strong-Tie® connectors. In certain
applications screws are easier and more convenient to install than nails, and the Identification
single-fastener load values achieved by the SD9 and SD10 exceed those of typical on SD screw
10d or 16d common nails, respectively. heads
(#10 x 2½"
When selecting fasteners for connectors, match both the base metal and corrosion SD10212 shown)
resistance to maximize connection durability. Stainless steel connector screws
should be used with stainless steel connectors. Galvanized screws should be used
with galvanized connectors. When galvanized and stainless steel parts are used
together, galvanic corrosion can occur because the two metals (zinc and stainless
steel) are electrochemically dissimilar. If the screw is galvanized and the connector is
stainless steel, corrosion of the screw would begin with sacrifice of the zinc in the
galvanized coating and then proceed with corrosion of the steel screw. Whether
due to a galvanic or oxidative electrochemical process, corrosion can lead to the
need for premature repair or failure of the connection.
The SD and SD SS screws feature an optimized shank, specifically designed for
compatibility with the fastener holes in Simpson Strong-Tie connectors. The hex Length
head allows for a secure drive and helps avoid stripping of the head during
installation. The sharp point of the screw enables fast starts.
Features:
• Tested and approved for use in many of our best-selling connectors for
interior and most exterior applications.
• The single-fastener steel-side-plate lateral resistance of the SD9 exceeds Nominal
the capacity of a 10d common nail, while the single-fastener lateral resistance diameter
of the SD10 exceeds that of the 16d common nail.
• Ideal for use in tight spaces where using a hammer is inconvenient.
• Optimized heat-treating for ductility and strength.

Structural Fastener
The Strong-Drive SDW Truss-Ply and EWP-Ply screws are a 0.22"-diameter, high-strength W 22
structural wood screws specifically designed for fastening multi-ply wood members such as
plated trusses, engineered-lumber products and solid sawn lumber. The Strong-Drive SDW X.X X
Truss-Ply and EWP-Ply screws install with no predrilling and are available in optimized lengths
for fastening two-, three- and four-ply trusses or 1 3⁄4" structural composite lumber (SCL).
The Strong-Drive SDW Truss-Ply and EWP-Ply screws enable single-side fastening, while
still allowing concurrent loading on both sides of the assembly to the full allowable head or
point-side load of the fastener.
• Low-profile head for reduced interference during handling or
installation of hardware on the assembly
• High shear values enable wider screw spacing
• Bold thread design firmly cinches plies together to close gaps 2 15⁄16" – 6 3⁄8"
in multi-ply assemblies
• Optimal screw lengths provide maximum penetration
Material: Heat-treated carbon steel
TL
Finish: Black E-coat™
Warning: Industry studies show that hardened fasteners can experience performance
problems in wet or corrosive environments. Accordingly, the Strong-Drive SDW Truss-Ply
and EWP-Ply screws should only be used in dry, interior and non-corrosive environments. Strong-Drive
Installation:
SDW TRUSS-PLY Screw
US Patent: 9,523,383
• Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
• Strong-Drive SDW Truss-Ply and EWP-Ply screws install best with a low-speed
1⁄2" drill motor and a T-40 6-lobe bit. The matched bit included with the screws is
recommended for best results.
W 22
• Predrilling is typically not required. Strong-Drive SDW Truss-Ply and EWP-Ply
screws may be installed through metal truss plates as approved by the Truss X.X X
Designer (predrilling required through the plate using a maximum of 5⁄32" bit).
• Screw heads that are countersunk flush to the wood surface are acceptable
if the screw has not spun out.
Notes to the Designer:
1. Factored lateral and withdrawal resistances are based on testing per ICC-ES AC233

C-C-CAN2022 © 2022 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE COMPANY INC.

and Clause 12.11 of CSA O86-14.
2. Factored lateral resistances may be increased 15% for short-term load duration
(KD = 1.15). For load durations other than standard or short term, see 5.3.2 of
CSA O86-14 for reduction values. 3 3⁄8" – 6 3⁄4"

3. Fastener spacing, end and edge distances shall conform to Table 12.9.2.1
CSA O86-14 using a diameter value of 0.30" (see Table 9 on p. 393).
4. Maximum fastener spacing is recommended not to exceed 24" on-centre except
TL
as approved by a qualified designer.
5. Structural composite lumber (SCL) is laminated veneer lumber (LVL), parallel strand
lumber (PSL) or laminated strand lumber (LSL). Verify the effective specific gravity
(SG) with structural composite lumber manufacturer for selection of tabulated values. Strong-Drive
6. Factored resistances are based on the capacity of the Simpson Strong-Tie ® SDW EWP-PLY Screw
Strong-Drive SDW22 fasteners. The capacity of the multi-ply assembly must be US Patent: 9,523,383
checked by a qualified designer using the reduced cross-sectional area per
Clause 12.2.2.5 CSA O86-14.
7. For a top-loaded, solid sawn 2x, multi-ply assembly that is evenly loaded across the
Fasteners

entire assembly width, the recommended fastener detail is two rows of SDW screws
where the spacing between fasteners in a row is 32". For a top-loaded, SCL (1 3/4")
multi-ply assembly that is evenly loaded across the entire assembly width, the
recommended spacing between SDW screws in a row is 24" o.c.; use two rows
for up to 18" deep members and three rows for members deeper than 18". T-40 Driver Bit
