Product Description
The Simpson 12" Heavy Embedded Truss Anchor with 4" Embed and Seat is an engineered structural connector from Simpson built to create a secure, load-rated connection between roof trusses and concrete or masonry walls. Finished with a zinc galvanized G90 coating for lasting corrosion resistance, this heavy anchor is designed to perform reliably under the demands of wind and seismic loading conditions, making it a dependable choice for residential and commercial roof framing applications.
Key Features
- Engineered attachment to concrete and masonry walls - provides a structurally sound, code-consistent connection between roof trusses and wall substrates, reducing guesswork on critical structural joints
- Staggered nail patterns - specifically designed to strengthen uplift resistance, giving builders confidence that the connection will hold under high-wind and seismic forces
- Compatible with single- and multi-ply trusses when used in pairs - adds flexibility for a wide range of truss configurations without requiring separate hardware solutions
- Straight or field-bent installation - allows the anchor to conform around truss or rafter members on the job site, reducing the need for additional brackets or modifications
- Indented embedment line - acts as a built-in visual guide during concrete or masonry installation, helping ensure the anchor is set at the correct depth for accurate, consistent placement
- Includes TSS2 truss seat snap-in - the integrated seat component streamlines installation by positioning the truss precisely on the anchor before final fastening
- Zinc galvanized G90 coating - delivers corrosion resistance suited to demanding job-site conditions, supporting long-term structural integrity
Why This Product
- Built for demanding structural environments - with load ratings covering both wind and seismic forces, this heavy truss anchor is a practical solution for roof framing in regions where uplift and lateral loads are a primary engineering concern
- Versatile enough for complex truss systems - the ability to use the anchor in pairs on single- or multi-ply trusses means one product can address multiple framing scenarios, simplifying procurement and on-site inventory
- Installation accuracy is built in - the indented embedment line and included TSS2 snap-in seat work together to reduce placement errors, helping crews set anchors correctly the first time and maintain consistent structural performance across a project
- A trusted heavy anchor from Simpson - the HETA16 is a purpose-engineered connector designed to meet the performance expectations of structural roof-to-wall connections in concrete and masonry construction
