The Simpson META24 Galvanized Embedded Truss Anchor from Simpson delivers an engineered method to attach roof trusses securely to concrete and masonry walls - giving builders a reliable, load-rated connection for demanding structural applications. Staggered nail patterns strengthen uplift resistance, and the anchor can be installed straight or field-bent around truss or rafter members, making it equally at home on single- and multi-ply truss assemblies. Built from 18-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish, this embedded truss anchor is designed to hold up in the toughest job-site conditions.

Key Features

• Indented embedment line - provides a clear visual guide during concrete pours or masonry work, so the anchor is set at the correct depth every time without guesswork
• Load rated for wind and seismic forces - gives you engineered performance data you can rely on for code-compliant installations in high-wind and seismic regions
• 20-in. exposed length - provides ample reach to connect the anchor securely to roof truss or rafter members once the wall is in place
• Staggered nail pattern - distributes fastener load across the connector to maximize uplift resistance and overall connection strength
• 18-gauge steel construction - strikes the right balance of strength and workability, allowing field-bending around truss or rafter members without compromising structural integrity
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - adds an extra layer of corrosion resistance to protect the connector's structural performance over the long service life of the structure
• Compatible with the Simpson TSS truss seat snap-in and TBP8 moisture barrier plate - integrates with purpose-matched accessories so you can build a complete, coordinated truss-to-wall connection system
• Usable in pairs on single- and multi-ply trusses - provides flexibility across a wide range of roof framing configurations without requiring a different connector model

Why This Product

• Engineered for code-critical connections - the META24 is load rated for both wind and seismic forces, making it a dependable choice for truss-to-masonry or truss-to-concrete wall connections where performance documentation matters
• Versatile installation, fewer SKUs on site - because it installs straight or field-bent and works on single- and multi-ply trusses, one connector model covers a broad range of roof framing scenarios, simplifying procurement and inventory
• Built-in accuracy aids reduce costly errors - the indented embedment line takes the guesswork out of setting the anchor during concrete or grouted masonry pours, helping ensure a correct, code-conforming embedment depth the first time
• Corrosion-resistant finish for lasting structural reliability - the G90 galvanized coating protects the 18-gauge steel anchor against moisture and environmental exposure, helping maintain the integrity of the roof-to-wall connection throughout the life of the building

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of walls can the META24 be embedded into?

The META24 can be embedded 4 in. into a 6-in. minimum concrete beam or an 8-in. nominal grouted block wall, providing a secure connection between roof trusses and concrete or masonry wall systems.

What fasteners should be used to install the META24?

The META24 should be installed with 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails or 0.162 x 3-1/2 in. nails. Use all specified fasteners to ensure proper load performance.

Can the META24 be used on multi-ply trusses?

Yes. The META24 can be used in pairs on both single- and multi-ply trusses, and it can be installed straight or field-bent around truss or rafter members for versatile application.

Is the META24 rated for wind and seismic conditions?

Yes. The META24 is load rated for wind and seismic forces, making it suitable for structural connections in regions subject to these conditions. Its staggered nail patterns are specifically designed to strengthen uplift resistance.
