The Simpson Strong-Tie S/LTTP2 Light-Duty Tension Tie is a galvanized connector built for dependable attachment between cold-formed steel (CFS) studs and concrete substrates in both retrofit and new construction applications. Engineered with flanges rolled into the bend and an extruded anchor bolt hole, this tension tie delivers increased load resistance and limits deflection where structural connections must perform reliably. Its straightforward installation with a 1/2-in. diameter anchor bolt to concrete and #10 screws to a CFS stud makes it a practical choice for contractors working on light-gauge steel framing projects that demand consistent, repeatable results.

Key Features

• Flanges rolled into the bend and extruded anchor bolt hole - work together to increase strength and limit deflection under load, giving the connection greater structural integrity than a plain bent plate.
• Compatible with 1/2-in. diameter post-installed or cast-in-place anchors to concrete and #10 screws to CFS studs - supports both retrofit and new construction scenarios without requiring specialized hardware beyond standard fasteners.
• Suited for retrofit or new construction - provides installation flexibility so the same connector works whether you are anchoring into existing concrete or setting anchors during a new pour.
• Made from 10-gauge (129-mil) steel with a G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers the material thickness and corrosion resistance needed for demanding installation environments where long-term durability matters.
• Made in the United States by Simpson Strong-Tie - backed by a manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in structural connectors, giving specifiers and installers confidence in product consistency and quality.

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for cold-formed steel framing - unlike general-purpose ties, the S/LTTP2 is purpose-built for CFS stud attachment, so the hole layout, gauge, and geometry are matched to light-gauge steel construction from the start.
• Structural geometry that actively controls deflection - the rolled flanges and extruded anchor bolt hole are not just manufacturing details; they are design features that reduce movement at the connection point, helping maintain alignment and performance over the life of the structure.
• Simplified installation with common fasteners - attachment with a single 1/2-in. anchor bolt and standard #10 screws keeps the installation process straightforward, reducing labor time and the chance of fastener mix-ups on the job site.
• G90 galvanized finish for lasting corrosion resistance - the zinc galvanized coating provides a meaningful layer of protection in environments where moisture or humidity could compromise an uncoated steel connector over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of anchor is required to attach the S/LTTP2 to concrete?

The S/LTTP2 is designed for attachment using a 1/2-in. diameter post-installed or cast-in-place anchor bolt to concrete.

How many screws are needed to install the S/LTTP2 into a CFS stud?

Installation into a cold-formed steel (CFS) stud requires (12) #10 screws.

What design features give the S/LTTP2 its increased strength and reduced deflection?

The S/LTTP2 features flanges rolled into the bend and an extruded anchor bolt hole, both of which work together to provide increased strength and limit deflection under load.

Is the S/LTTP2 suitable for use in corrosive environments?

The S/LTTP2 is manufactured from 129-mil (10-gauge) steel with a G90 zinc galvanized coating, which provides corrosion resistance for demanding installation environments.
