Product Description
The Simpson META40 36" w/4" Embed Truss Anchor from Simpson is an engineered connector designed to secure roof trusses and rafter members to concrete and masonry walls with reliable resistance against uplift forces from wind and seismic loads. Built to an 18-gauge profile with a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating, this 36-inch anchor provides a code-compliant fastening solution for a wide range of residential and commercial roof framing applications where a dependable truss-to-wall connection is critical.
Key Features
- Indented embedment line for accurate placement - provides a clear visual guide for achieving a consistent 4-inch embedment depth into concrete or masonry, reducing installation error and supporting code-compliant results every time.
- Rated for both wind and seismic loads - delivers verified uplift resistance in demanding structural conditions, giving builders and engineers confidence in regions subject to high-wind or seismic design requirements.
- Compatible with single- and multi-ply trusses when used in pairs - adds installation flexibility across a variety of roof framing configurations without requiring separate hardware for different truss assemblies.
- Installs straight or field-bent around truss or rafter members - adapts to job-site conditions without special tools, keeping the installation process straightforward for framing crews.
- Compatible with Simpson TSS and TBP8 moisture barrier plates - allows for proper moisture management between the truss and wall, supporting best practices for long-term performance in conditions where moisture control is required.
- Zinc Galvanized G90 steel coating - provides a durable corrosion-resistant finish suited to the exposure conditions typical of wall-embedded structural connectors.
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for truss-to-masonry and concrete connections - the META40 is specifically engineered as an embedded truss anchor, meaning every design detail - from the embedment guide line to the staggered nail pattern - is focused on achieving a secure, load-rated roof-to-wall connection rather than being a general-purpose strap adapted for the task.
- Dual load rating supports broader project eligibility - with published load values covering both wind and seismic forces, this anchor can be specified on projects in a wide range of geographic zones and code environments, reducing the need to source multiple products for different structural demands.
- Field adaptability reduces installation complexity - the ability to install the anchor straight or field-bent around framing members, combined with paired use on multi-ply trusses, means fewer job-site workarounds and a faster, more consistent installation process.
- Domestic production supports consistent quality standards - the META40 is a product of the United States, aligning with project specifications or procurement preferences that require domestically produced structural connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the purpose of the indented embedment line on the META40?
- The indented embedment line serves as a visual guide to ensure the anchor is set to the correct 4-inch embedment depth when placing it into concrete or masonry walls, helping to achieve a consistent and code-compliant installation every time.
- Can the META40 be used with multi-ply trusses?
- Yes. The META40 is designed to be used in pairs on both single- and multi-ply trusses, providing flexible installation options for a variety of roof framing configurations.
- Is the META40 rated for wind and seismic applications?
- Yes. The META40 is load rated for both wind and seismic forces, making it suitable for use in regions with demanding structural requirements. All specified fasteners must be used to achieve the published load values.
- Is the META40 compatible with moisture barrier plates?
- Yes. The META40 is compatible with the Simpson Strong-Tie TSS and TBP8 moisture barrier plates, allowing for proper moisture management between the truss and the wall when required by building conditions or local codes.
