Product Description
Simpson HDUE3-SDS3HDG HDUE 8-11/16 in. Hot-Dip Galvanized Predeflected Holdown with Strong-Drive SDS Screws by Simpson Strong-Tie is engineered to deliver exceptional overturning resistance for shearwalls, braced wall panels, and other lateral-force-resisting applications in wood construction. Featuring a predeflected seat design and hot-dip galvanized finish, this holdown provides superior strength, reduced deflection under load, and outstanding corrosion resistance for demanding residential construction environments.
Key Features
- Predeflected seat reduces deflection under load
- Overlapping back plate increases fastener strength and shear values, helping prevent post splitting
- Optimized screw patterns reduce splitting at the end of the post and maximize individual fastener capacity
- Extruded seat adds a greater cross-sectional steel section for added strength
- Teardrop holes allow higher and more even distribution of load
- Height: 8-11/16 in.
- Made from 14-gauge steel
- Hot-dip galvanization (HDG) offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications

Frequently Asked Questions
- What fasteners are required to install the HDUE3-SDS3HDG?
- Install with a 5/8 in. anchor bolt and (7) 1/4 in. x 3 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws. The screws are included with the holdown.
- Why is a predeflected seat beneficial in a holdown?
- The predeflected seat is specifically engineered to reduce deflection under load, which helps maintain the structural integrity and performance of the holdown connection during lateral-force events.
- Is the HDUE3-SDS3HDG suitable for treated-wood or exterior applications?
- Yes. The hot-dip galvanized (HDG) coating offers extra corrosion resistance, making this holdown well suited for exterior and treated-wood applications where moisture or chemical exposure may be a concern.
- How does the overlapping back plate improve performance?
- The overlapping back plate increases fastener strength and shear values, helping prevent post splitting and contributing to higher overall load capacity at the connection point.
