Product Description
The Simpson MST37HDG 37-1/2 in. 12-Gauge Hot-Dip Galvanized Medium Strap Tie from Simpson is a load-rated, precut structural strap engineered to resist tension loads in floor-to-floor and other demanding applications. Built from 12-gauge steel and finished with a hot-dip galvanized coating, this medium-duty strap is designed to connect double or greater 2x members with a dense fastener pattern that accommodates nails, bolts, or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws - giving installers the flexibility to match the fastening method to the job at hand.
Key Features
- Versatile medium-duty strap for a variety of connections and splices - handles a wide range of structural tie and splice applications without requiring specialty hardware
- Designed for connections between 3-1/2 in. or larger wood members - proper member sizing ensures full load transfer and reduces the risk of splitting during installation
- Precut and load-rated at 37-1/2 in. long by 2-1/16 in. wide - arrives ready to install with the correct hole count and spacing already in place, eliminating field measuring and cutting
- Made from 12-gauge steel - provides the structural strength needed to resist tension forces in floor-to-floor and similar framing connections
- Hot-dip galvanized finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance that makes this strap well-suited for exterior installations and applications involving treated wood, where standard coatings may break down prematurely
- Accepts nails, bolts, or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws - three fastener options let contractors and builders use whatever is on hand or best suited to the connection type, without compromising the rated load capacity
Why This Product
- Built for reliability in high-stress structural connections - as a load-rated, precut strap with a dense nailing pattern, this tie is engineered specifically to resist tension loads rather than serving as a general-purpose strap, giving builders confidence in its structural performance
- Hot-dip galvanization sets it apart for treated-wood and exterior use - the HDG coating provides a heavier, more durable layer of corrosion protection than standard galvanized products, making it a practical choice wherever moisture or chemically treated lumber is a factor
- Three fastening methods in one strap - the ability to install with nails, bolts, or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws means this single strap works across a broader range of job-site conditions, reducing the need to stock multiple connector types
- Straightforward installation with no field fabrication required - the precut length and pre-punched fastener holes mean installation is faster and more consistent, reducing labor time and the potential for errors on the job site
