DESCRIPTION

The H8 single-sided hurricane tie is designed to resist moderate loads at the top of a wall connection. Provides a connection as part of a continuous load path to resist wind and seismic forces. The H8 is versatile and has been tested for connecting I-joist rafters to double-top-plates as well as studs to sill plates. Great for connecting 2X deck joists on top of a perpendicular beam Install in pairs on either side of the rafter/truss/joist to provide resistance to uplift and lateral forces Use also for a variety of connections where one member crosses another ZMAX® galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications Approved for installation with load-rated Strong-Drive® SD connector screws Can be installed with flanges facing either inward or outward Hurricane ties do not replace solid blocking When installing ties on plated trusses (on the side opposite the truss plate) do not fasten through the truss plate from behind
