The Simpson Strong-Tie Face-Mount Retrofit Girder Tiedown (FGTR), model FGTR, is a moderate- to high-load capacity tiedown engineered for both new construction and retrofit applications. This non-pitch-specific face-mount girder tiedown delivers the highest uplift capacity available for retrofit use, making it an ideal solution where wind resistance and structural integrity are critical. Simpson Strong-Tie connectors are engineered and tested to perform and are manufactured to the highest quality standards. For corner hip applications, see the FGTRHL/R.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the FGTR suitable for retrofit applications?

Yes. The FGTR is specifically designed for moderate- to high-load capacity tiedown needs in both new construction and retrofit applications, and it offers the highest uplift capacity available for retrofit use.

Can the FGTR be used on any roof pitch?

Yes. The FGTR is a non-pitch-specific girder tiedown, meaning it is compatible with a variety of roof pitches without requiring pitch-specific hardware. For corner hip applications, the FGTRHL/R should be used instead.

Can two FGTR units be installed together for greater load capacity?

Yes. The FGTR can be installed in a single application or in pairs to achieve a higher uplift capacity. The screw holes are configured to allow for double installation on a two-ply (minimum) truss.

Does the FGTR come with the necessary fasteners?

Yes. Each FGTR includes (18) 1/4-in. x 3-in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws and (2) 1/2-in. x 5-in. Titen HD heavy-duty screw anchors, so no additional fasteners need to be sourced separately.
