Product Description
The Simpson LGT2HDG Girder Tiedown is a Simpson engineered connector built to resist light to moderate uplift loads on multi-ply trusses while also delivering exceptional bearing enhancement for heavy download applications. Its hot-dip galvanized finish provides a higher level of corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanized coatings, making this light girder tiedown a dependable choice for both new construction framing and retrofit projects where moisture or corrosive conditions may be present.
Key Features
- Hot-dip galvanized coating - provides superior corrosion resistance over standard galvanized finishes, keeping the connector performing reliably in demanding or moisture-prone environments
- 14-gauge steel construction - delivers the structural integrity needed to handle both uplift and heavy downward load scenarios without adding unnecessary bulk
- Embossments in critical areas - add stiffness where it matters most, improving overall load performance and long-term connector stability
- Low-profile design - sits flush against the wall framing, making subsequent drywall installation straightforward and avoiding interference with finish work
- Installs on either the inside or outside of the wall - gives framers the flexibility to position the connector wherever site conditions or structural layout require, speeding up installation
- Suitable for retrofit applications - allows the connector to be added to existing framing without requiring a full teardown, reducing labor and project disruption
- Dual-load capability (uplift and download) - handles light to moderate uplift resistance and bearing enhancement for heavy downloads in a single connector, reducing the need for supplemental hardware
Why This Product
- Versatility across load types - by addressing both uplift resistance and heavy download bearing enhancement, this girder tiedown eliminates the need to source separate connectors for different load conditions on multi-ply truss assemblies
- Retrofit-ready design - the ability to install on the inside or outside of the wall means this connector fits into existing structures as easily as new builds, making it a practical solution for renovation and repair work
- Enhanced corrosion protection built in - the hot-dip galvanized finish goes beyond standard coatings, making this connector a sound long-term investment for projects in humid, coastal, or otherwise corrosive environments
- Engineered by Simpson for proven performance - backed by Simpson engineering standards and domestic production, this light girder tiedown is a trusted structural connector for professionals who need reliable, load-rated performance on the job
