The Simpson MST60 60-Inch Medium Strap Tie from Simpson is a load-rated, precut structural strap engineered to resist tension loads in floor-to-floor connections and a wide range of other structural applications. Built from 10-gauge steel with a dense fastener hole pattern, this medium-duty strap is designed for quick, reliable installation on double 2x member connections or greater, and accepts nails, bolts, or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws to suit the demands of your project.

Key Features

• Versatile medium-duty design - handles a variety of structural connections and splices, making it a practical choice across multiple framing applications rather than a single-use solution.
• Suitable for nominal double-2x member connections or greater - engineered to pair correctly with common framing assemblies, so installers can count on a proper, code-appropriate fit.
• Dense nailing pattern with multi-fastener compatibility - installs with nails, bolts, or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws, giving crews the flexibility to use the fastener type that best fits their workflow and project requirements.
• Precut to 60 in. at 2-1/16 in. wide from 10-gauge steel - the correct thickness and number of fastener holes are built in from the start, reducing layout time and supporting optimal structural performance right out of the box.
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - provides a high level of corrosion resistance, extending the service life of the strap in demanding interior and appropriate exterior structural environments.
• Made in the United States - produced to consistent quality standards and manufactured to deliver reliable tension load resistance in floor-to-floor and other critical framing connections.

Why This Product

• Load-rated and precut for confident installation - the MST60 arrives with the correct thickness and fastener hole count already built in, removing guesswork and helping installers achieve optimal performance without additional fabrication or modification.
• Three fastener options in a single strap - compatibility with nails, bolts, or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws means this structural strap tie adapts to the tools and methods already on the job site, reducing delays and material conflicts.
• High-capacity tension resistance in a medium-duty profile - the dense fastener pattern and 10-gauge steel construction combine to deliver meaningful load resistance for floor-to-floor and other tension-critical connections without the bulk of a heavy-duty strap.
• G90 galvanized finish for long-term durability - the zinc galvanized coating helps protect the strap tie against corrosion over the life of the structure, supporting lasting performance in the connections where it matters most.
