The Simpson Heavy Embedded Truss Anchor HHETA24 from Simpson delivers an engineered method to attach roof trusses securely to concrete and masonry walls, making it a dependable choice for demanding structural roof framing applications. Built from 14-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this extra-heavy truss anchor features staggered nail patterns to strengthen uplift resistance and can be installed straight or field-bent around truss or rafter members. Versatile enough for use individually or in pairs on single- and multi-ply trusses, the HHETA24 is a flexible and code-conscious solution for contractors working in wind- and seismic-prone regions.

Key Features

• Indented embedment line ensures accurate embedment depth - takes the guesswork out of placement so the anchor is set correctly the first time, reducing installation error on the job site.
• Load rated for wind and seismic forces - gives builders and inspectors confidence that the connection meets structural requirements in high-demand environments.
• 20-in. exposed length with 4-in. embedment - provides the working height needed to properly engage truss members while anchoring firmly into the supporting wall structure.
• Compatible with 6-in. minimum concrete beams or 8-in. nominal grouted block walls - suits a wide range of concrete and masonry wall assemblies commonly found in commercial and residential construction.
• 14-gauge steel construction - the heavy-duty material thickness supports the high load demands expected of an extra-heavy embedded anchor category connector.
• Galvanized G90 coating - provides enhanced corrosion resistance to help the anchor hold up over time in exposed or moisture-prone installations.
• Compatible with the Simpson Strong-Tie TSS truss seat snap-in and TBP8 moisture barrier plate - integrates seamlessly into a complete engineered truss-to-wall connection system, minimizing the need to source additional specialty components.
• Can be used in pairs on single- and multi-ply trusses - adds flexibility to accommodate a variety of truss configurations without requiring a separate anchor product.

Why This Product

• Built for both wind and seismic applications - the staggered nail patterns are specifically engineered to strengthen uplift resistance, making this anchor well suited for roof connections where lateral and vertical forces are a primary concern.
• Installs straight or field-bent - this adaptability lets contractors work with existing truss and rafter geometries on-site without needing additional hardware or custom fabrication.
• Integrates into a complete Simpson connector system - compatibility with the TSS truss seat snap-in and TBP8 moisture barrier plate means this anchor can be part of a coordinated, engineered roof-to-wall connection assembly rather than a standalone component.
• Precision embedment built into the anchor itself - the indented embedment line removes reliance on field measurement during concrete or masonry placement, supporting consistent, accurate installation across a full project.

Frequently Asked Questions

How deep does the HHETA24 need to be embedded?

The HHETA24 must be embedded 4 in. into a 6-in. minimum concrete beam or an 8-in. nominal grouted block wall. The anchor features an indented embedment line to ensure accurate embedment depth during installation.

What nails are recommended for installing the HHETA24?

The HHETA24 should be installed with 10d x 1-1/2 in. nails or 16d common nails.

Can the HHETA24 be used with multi-ply trusses?

Yes. The HHETA24 can be used in pairs on both single- and multi-ply trusses, providing a secure and engineered connection for a variety of truss configurations.

Is the HHETA24 rated for wind and seismic applications?

Yes. The HHETA24 is load rated for wind and seismic forces, and its staggered nail patterns are designed to strengthen uplift resistance in these demanding conditions.
