Product Description
The Simpson CS16-R 16-Gauge Galvanized Coiled Strap is a continuous utility strap from Simpson engineered to resist tension and uplift loads across a wide range of structural applications. Supplied as a 25-foot coil, this strap is designed to be cut to the required length directly on the job site, giving builders and contractors a flexible, cost-effective solution in place of fixed-length, pre-cut straps. Sized to fit nominal 2x lumber, it performs reliably in single 2x stud or post applications - whether resisting uplift in floor-to-floor assemblies or handling tension in horizontal configurations.
Key Features
- Roof uplift and shear wall overturning resistance - addresses two of the most critical structural demands in residential and light commercial construction, providing peace of mind where load transfer matters most.
- Cut-to-length coil design - eliminates the waste and guesswork of pre-cut straps, letting you size each piece precisely on the job site to match actual field conditions.
- Sized to fit nominal 2x lumber - designed for a snug, accurate fit on standard 2x studs and posts, reducing installation time and the risk of misalignment.
- 16-gauge steel construction - delivers the structural strength needed for demanding tension and uplift applications without adding unnecessary bulk.
- Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - provides extra corrosion resistance, making this coiled strap a sound choice for installations where moisture exposure is a real concern.
- Packaged in lightweight cartons - easier to handle and transport on the job site, reducing fatigue and keeping your workflow moving.
- Installs with 8d or 10d common nails - compatible with standard fasteners already on most job sites, so no specialty hardware is required to complete the installation.
Why This Product
- One coil, countless cuts - because the CS16-R ships as a 25-foot coil you trim on site, a single roll can serve multiple framing connections at different lengths, reducing material costs compared to purchasing multiple pre-cut strap sizes.
- Built for the applications that matter most - from floor-to-floor uplift resistance to horizontal tension and shear wall overturning, this strap is purpose-built for the structural tie-down scenarios where getting it right is non-negotiable.
- G90 galvanized protection in a practical package - the Zinc Galvanized G90 finish guards against corrosion in moisture-prone environments, while the lightweight carton keeps the product easy to carry and stage on the job site.
- Simpson engineering, standard fasteners - backed by Simpson's reputation for structural connector reliability and designed to work with common 8d or 10d nails, making compliant installation straightforward without requiring specialty tools or hardware.
