Product Description
The Simpson H6Z 16-Gauge ZMAX Galvanized Hurricane Tie by Simpson Strong-Tie is a single-sided hurricane tie engineered to resist moderate to high uplift loads at stud-to-double-top-plate and rim-joist-to-stud connections. Its extended length makes it ideal for applications where spanning a larger distance between structural members is necessary, and its ZMAX galvanized finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood environments.

Note: 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, as this can force the truss plate off of the truss and compromise truss integrity.
