Product Description
Simpson H1AZ H1A 18-Gauge ZMAX Galvanized Hurricane Tie is a Simpson Strong-Tie hurricane tie engineered to positively connect trusses and rafters to the top of a wall, helping structures resist high winds and seismic forces. This U-shaped tie is designed for nominal 2x lumber and features ZMAX galvanization for enhanced corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for exterior and treated-wood applications. Embossments at critical areas add stiffness for improved performance, and the double-sided design delivers faster installation than using two single-sided ties.
