The Simpson 30 in. Heavy Twist Strap from Simpson Strong-Tie delivers a dependable tension connection between two structural members, engineered to resist heavy uplift loads at the rafter or heel of a truss. Its small bend section reduces interference at the transition points between members, making it a practical and economical solution for rafter tie-down and truss heel connections where reliable performance matters.

Key Features

• Available with the bend reversed (specify "-REV" after the model number, such as HTS30-REV) - gives installers the flexibility to match the strap orientation to their specific framing configuration without sourcing a separate product
• Multiple lengths available across the HTS series - lets you select the right fit for your exact application rather than adapting a one-size solution
• Straps do not need to be wrapped over the truss to achieve the allowable load - simplifies installation and reduces labor time on the jobsite
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the structural strength needed to handle heavy uplift forces at rafter and truss connections
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers enhanced corrosion resistance, helping the strap hold up in demanding or moisture-prone environments over the long term

Why This Product

• Engineered for heavy uplift resistance - this twist strap is specifically designed to resist heavy uplift loads at the rafter or heel of a truss, addressing one of the most critical structural demands in roof framing
• Installation-friendly design - the small bend section reduces interference at member transition points, and no wrapping over the truss is required, keeping the installation process straightforward and efficient
• Built-in configuration flexibility - the reverse-bend option means a single strap model can adapt to different framing orientations, reducing the need to stock multiple specialty connectors
