Product Description
The Simpson CS18 18-Gauge Galvanized Coiled Strap from Simpson is a continuous utility strap designed to join and reinforce structural connections across light repairs and heavy-duty framing projects alike. Sized to fit nominal 2x lumber, this 200 ft. coil can be cut to length directly on the job site, giving contractors and builders the flexibility to address a wide range of tension and uplift applications - from floor-to-floor connections to roof uplift resistance - without excess waste or pre-cutting guesswork. The G90 zinc galvanized finish provides reliable corrosion protection, making it a dependable choice for both interior and exterior structural work.
Key Features
- Sized to fit nominal 2x lumber - works seamlessly with standard 2x studs and posts used in everyday residential and commercial framing, eliminating sizing uncertainty on the job.
- 200 ft. continuous coil length - provides ample material for multiple connections across an entire project, reducing the need for frequent reordering mid-job.
- 18-gauge steel construction - delivers the structural strength needed to resist tension and uplift loads in both light-repair and heavy-duty applications.
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - offers extra corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanized finishes, helping the strap hold up over time in demanding building environments.
- Cut-to-length convenience - the coiled format lets installers trim exactly what they need on site, reducing material waste and adapting to project-specific connection requirements.
- Packaged in lightweight cartons - makes transport and handling on the job site easier, especially when moving materials across multiple floors or work areas.
Why This Product
- One coil, countless connections - at 200 ft. of continuous strap, a single coil covers floor-to-floor uplift resistance, roof uplift, shear wall overturning, and single 2x stud or post applications, making it a versatile stock item for framing crews handling varied scopes of work.
- Job-site flexibility built in - because the strap cuts to length on site, installers are not locked into fixed sizes, which reduces waste and keeps projects moving without waiting on custom-cut material.
- Enhanced corrosion protection - the G90 zinc galvanized finish goes beyond basic coating to deliver extra durability, helping protect structural connections in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
- Straightforward installation - compatible with 8d or 10d common nails and designed for use on the wide or narrow face of 2x lumber, this strap integrates easily into standard framing workflows without specialized fasteners or tools.
