1. Hurricane Anchor This tie adds increased resistance to wind uplift. The tie eliminates toe nailing utilizing correctly located nail holes for fast, easy, and strong attachment of rafters and trusses to plates and studs. They are made of 20-18 gage galvanized steel. They can be installed on each side of the rafter for twice the loads when the rafter thickness is a minimum of 2.5 inches or diagonally when rafter is 1.5 inches.
2. 90° Bracket Used for tying trusses to non-load bearing walls.
3. Rafter Clip/Stud Plate A fast, economical tie to secure rafters or trusses to wall studs and top plates, and from studs to sill plate.
4. Girder Truss Strap Ideal for girder truss connections when there is a high uplift load requirement. Can be used for wood-to-wood application or concrete-to-wood application. A washer plate adds increased resistance to wind uplift.
5. A. Beam Support These face mount supports are designed to provide full support of the top chord preventing joist rotation. Bolt holes are also provided for additional load capacity. B. Floor Tie Anchor These ties are designed especially for use with floors constructed above grade, as a connection between first or second floor level to studs. They are designed for engineered floor systems with larger clear spans of 21 inches and 24 inches. They can be fastened with bolts or nails.
6. Heavy Duty Post Anchor Post base is to elevate post above concrete to allow for ventilation. Heavy-duty design permits higher uplift loads and simplified installation with 0.5-inch anchor bolts that fit through pre-punched holes, slotted to permit adjustment to align for off-position anchor bolts.
7. Staircase Bracket These brackets are designed to simplify and reinforce stair construction.
8. Joist Support The regular joist support is made of 18 gage and the Heavy-Duty Joist Hanger is made to support headers, joists, and trusses. It is made from 14-gage galvanized steel.
9. Grip Joist Support These supports are designed for quick installation in place for easy nailing. The offset nail hole placement is for secure positive nailing. Precision formed high-strength 18-gage galvanized is used for long life.
10. L-Post Strap Can be used to tie the window framing together.
11. T-Post Strap Can be used at perpendicular junction points for cripple studs and the rough sill.
12. Stud Plate/Rafter Clip Used for tying studs to sill plate and top plates, or rafters to top plates.
13. Anchor Bolt 6-inch minimum embedment with 3000 psi concrete will resist 1,635 lbs. Wind uplift loads are based on the shear capacity of No. 2 Southern Pine. Compression perpendicular to grain 565 psi.
14. Hold Down Anchor Ideal for shear walls and vertical posts.
15. Universal Framing Anchor This is a multi-purpose anchor for almost any wood connection task. It anchors rafters and roof trusses to plates, and it anchors floor and ceiling joists to headers and solid blocking to plates. The 90° framing angles can be used to join posts to beams and make other right-angle connections.
16. Post Cap Simplifies installing 4x4 wood posts to wood beams and trusses. Makes a full-strength, positive connection between the post top and lateral beams or trusses. It is considerably stronger than random toe-nailing and spiking, and is less time-consuming than drilling and lag bolting. Post caps are of the split design to offer maximum flexibility in application. Direct-load path-side plates maximizes load capacities. Toe-nail slots speed plum and level adjustment
17.Floor Tie Anchor As previously noted, these ties are designed especially for use with floors constructed above grade, as a connection between first or second floor level to studs. Nails or bolts can be used.
18. Foundation Tie There is a prepunched hole in the foot of the tie to increase concrete grip and allow alternate rebar rod sup-port. Prepunched holes in the bend are there for nails to hold it in the form board. Ties should have a minimum of 3 inches in the concrete.
19. Heavy-Duty Masonry Beam Hanger Designed to work with standard block wall or concrete tie beam construction. Eliminates the need of constructing special seats to support floor joists.
20. Rafter Tie Tie straps meet a variety of application and design load conditions and specifications. Use rafter ties when tying rafters to plate, anchoring studs to sill, or framing over girders and bearing partitions.
21. Lateral Truss Anchor This anchor is designed to meet the lateral and uplift load demands for hurricane-resistant construction. It provides a custom connection to wood for trusses or rafters. An attached beam seat-plate eliminates treated sill or moisture-barrier installation. The riveted plate on the seat-plate design prevents truss movement parallel and perpendicular to the wall.
22. Truss Anchor Accommodates diverse design requirements for concrete-to-wood installation, allows a 4-inch embedment in concrete. You can use two anchors installed, one on each side of the rafter, for twice the load per single rafter thickness. Minimum edge distance is 2 inches.
23. Galvanized Plywood Clip This clip is designed for easy and fast application to sheathing edges. It gives a snug self-lock and that keeps the clip firmly in position throughout panel placement. It eliminates unreliable wood edge blocking. This type of clip is also available in aluminum. The clip gives an automatic spacing to the plywood or sheathing.
24. Truss Tie Down Strap (Gun Tie) This strap provides additional increased resistance to wind uplift to secure rafters or trusses to top plates. It eliminates fastening through the truss nail plates and requires no truss nailing. It is designed to allow gun nailing for quick installation. The clip is made of 20-gage steel and the installer should wear eye protection. Fasteners are placed on each side of the truss into the top and bottom layer of the double top-plate members in equal quantity. Fasteners should be no less than 0.25 inches from the edge of the strap and placed no less than 0.375 inches from the edge of the framing member. True Tie is the same share as the Gun Tie, but it has 18-gage galvanized metal.
