Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CS18-R is an 18-gauge galvanized coiled strap engineered to join and reinforce structural connections with a simple, versatile solution across a wide range of light-duty and heavy-duty applications. As a continuous utility strap, the CS18-R can be cut to length directly on the job site, eliminating material waste and reducing the need for multiple pre-cut strap sizes. Sized to fit nominal 2x lumber, this strap is equally effective on the wide or narrow face of a member. The G90 zinc galvanized coating delivers extra corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for environments where moisture exposure is a concern. Made in the United States from 18-gauge steel and packaged in a lightweight carton, the CS18-R offers reliable performance for contractors, framers, and builders who demand consistent quality from their structural hardware.
