Product Description
The Simpson MST27HDG 27" 12-Gauge Hot-Dip Galvanized Medium Strap Tie from Simpson Strong-Tie is a load-rated, precut structural strap engineered to resist tension loads in floor-to-floor and other demanding applications. Designed for connecting double or greater 2x members, this medium-duty strap combines a dense nailing pattern with multi-fastener compatibility - nails, bolts, or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws - to deliver fast, reliable installation and consistent structural performance across a wide range of connections and splices.
Key Features
- Versatile medium-duty design - handles a variety of structural connections and splices, reducing the need for multiple strap types on a single job
- Optimized for 3-1/2 in. or larger wood members - ensures full load transfer and minimizes splitting risk, giving installers confidence in code-compliant connections
- Precut to 27 in. with a dense fastener hole pattern - eliminates field cutting and guesswork, speeding up installation while maintaining engineered performance
- 12-gauge steel construction - delivers high-capacity tension resistance suited for floor-to-floor and other structural load paths
- Hot-dip galvanized coating - provides a thick, durable corrosion barrier that stands up to exterior environments and direct contact with treated lumber
- Compatible with nails, bolts, or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws - gives contractors flexibility to use preferred or available fasteners without sacrificing rated performance
- Made in the United States to Simpson Strong-Tie standards - supports consistent quality and load-rating reliability across structural applications
Why This Product
- Ready to install out of the package - the precut length and pre-punched fastener holes mean no field fabrication, cutting installation time and reducing material waste on structural framing projects
- Built for treated-wood and exterior applications - the hot-dip galvanization process deposits a heavier zinc layer than standard galvanized coatings, making this strap a dependable choice wherever moisture and chemical exposure are a concern
- Multi-fastener compatibility simplifies procurement - whether your crew prefers nails, bolts, or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws, this strap accommodates all three, keeping your workflow moving without sourcing specialized hardware
- A trusted Simpson Strong-Tie load-rated connector - the MST27HDG carries verified tension ratings for floor-to-floor and similar structural connections, giving engineers, inspectors, and builders a consistent, code-ready solution
