The Simpson META12/TSS2 8" Truss Anchor with 4" Embed and Seat is an engineered anchoring solution from Simpson designed to securely attach roof trusses to concrete and masonry walls. Built to perform under both wind and seismic loading conditions, this anchor comes complete with a model TSS2 truss seat snap-in for a ready-to-install assembly that simplifies the rough framing process from the ground up.

Key Features

• Indented embedment line - provides a clear visual reference during installation, helping ensure the anchor is set at the correct depth every time without guesswork.
• Staggered nail patterns - strengthen uplift resistance, giving the connection greater capacity to handle the lateral and vertical forces that wind and seismic events place on roof framing.
• Compatible with single- and multi-ply trusses when used in pairs - offers flexibility across a wide range of roof framing configurations, reducing the need for alternate hardware on complex builds.
• Installs straight or field-bent around truss or rafter members - allows the installer to adapt the anchor on the jobsite to fit varying framing conditions without requiring additional components.
• Compatible with the Simpson TSS and TBP8 moisture barrier plate - provides a system-level solution that addresses both structural and moisture management concerns at the truss-to-wall connection.
• Zinc galvanized G90 coating on the META12 component - delivers corrosion resistance suited for exposed or demanding installation environments, supporting long-term connection integrity.

Why This Product

• Complete assembly, ready to install - the anchor ships with the META12 truss anchor and the TSS2 truss seat snap-in included together, so there is no need to source components separately before work begins.
• Engineered for demanding structural applications - load rated for both wind and seismic forces, this anchor is appropriate for roof-to-wall connections in regions where code compliance under lateral and uplift loading is required.
• Flexible field installation - the ability to install the anchor straight or field-bent, combined with the indented embedment line for accurate depth placement, reduces installation errors and accommodates real-world framing variation without extra hardware.
• Made in the United States by a trusted structural connector brand - the META12/TSS2 is a domestically produced product from Simpson, a name widely recognized in engineered wood connector and structural hardware applications.
