Product Description
The Simpson MTS12-REV 12" Medium Twist Strap - Reverse Bend is a 16-gauge, zinc galvanized structural connector engineered by Simpson to deliver reliable tension connections between two structural members. The reverse-bend orientation sets this strap apart from the standard configuration, giving contractors and builders the flexibility to work around obstructions or conflicting structural geometry at rafter and truss heel connection points - without sacrificing holding performance or load capacity.
Key Features
- Reverse-bend orientation - accommodates installations where a standard bend direction would conflict with the structural configuration, reducing the need for workarounds on the job site
- No wrapping over the truss required - the strap achieves its allowable load without being wrapped over the truss, simplifying installation and saving time during framing
- Small bend section - minimizes interference at the transition points between two structural members, resulting in a cleaner, lower-profile connection
- Designed for moderate uplift resistance - suited for tension connections at the rafter or heel of a truss, providing dependable performance in wind uplift and structural loading scenarios
- 16-gauge construction with G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers corrosion resistance appropriate for structural framing applications, helping protect the connection over the long term
Why This Product
- Built-in installation flexibility - the reverse-bend design directly solves fit conflicts that arise with standard-orientation straps, making it the right choice when framing geometry demands a different approach at the connection point
- Simplified load achievement - because the strap does not need to be wrapped over the truss, installers can complete the connection faster and with less complexity, reducing labor at the rafter and truss heel
- Domestically produced quality - the MTS12-REV is a United States-origin product from Simpson, a brand with a well-established reputation in structural connectors and framing hardware
- Versatile structural application - whether the task involves uplift resistance at a rafter, a truss heel, or a general tension connection between two members, this strap addresses multiple framing scenarios with a single, consistent solution

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the MTS12 and the MTS12-REV?
The MTS12-REV features a reverse bend compared to the standard MTS12. This reversed bend orientation provides added flexibility for installations where the standard bend direction would conflict with the structural configuration at the connection point.
What fasteners should be used to install the MTS12-REV?
The MTS12-REV should be installed with 10d common nails, 10d x 1-1/2 in. nails, or #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD screws.
Does the MTS12-REV need to be wrapped over the truss to achieve the allowable load?
No. One of the key advantages of the MTS series is that the straps do not need to be wrapped over the truss to achieve the allowable load, simplifying the installation process.
What is the gauge and coating of the MTS12-REV?
The MTS12-REV is a 16-gauge strap with a 54 mil thickness and features a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating, providing durability and corrosion resistance for structural applications.
