The Simpson MTS24C-REV 24" Medium Twist Strap - Reverse Bend is a Simpson engineered tension connector built to create a reliable structural connection between two framing members. Designed to resist moderate uplift loads at the rafter or heel of a truss, this twist strap features a small bend section that reduces interference at transition points - and its reverse bend orientation gives installers the clearance and fitment flexibility needed when a standard bend direction would get in the way.

Key Features

• Tension connection between two structural members - transfers uplift forces reliably at rafter or truss heel locations, keeping framing assemblies secure under load.
• Resists moderate uplift loads - engineered to handle the forces experienced at rafter connections and truss heels, providing confidence in wind and weather events.
• Small bend section - reduces interference at the transition point between members, making it easier to fit the strap cleanly without shimming or modifying framing.
• Reverse bend configuration - the "-REV" orientation solves clearance problems that arise when a standard bend direction conflicts with the framing geometry, expanding where this strap can be used.
• No wrapping over the truss required - achieves allowable load without needing to wrap over the truss, simplifying installation and saving time on the job.
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - provides a layer of corrosion resistance to help protect the connector in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
• Compatible with common fasteners - installs with 10d common nails, 10d x 1 1/2 in. nails, or #9 x 1 1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD screws, so installers can work with hardware already on the job site.

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for tricky installations - the reverse bend design directly addresses fitment challenges that make standard twist straps impractical, giving framers and contractors a code-ready solution without forcing field modifications.
• Faster, simpler installation - because the strap does not need to be wrapped over the truss to achieve its allowable load, the installation process is more straightforward, reducing labor time at the rafter or heel connection.
• Corrosion protection built in - the G90 zinc galvanized coating helps extend the service life of the connector in typical construction environments, reducing concerns about early degradation from moisture exposure.
• American-made Simpson quality - produced by Simpson, a name trusted across the structural connector industry, this strap is manufactured in the United States and is compatible with widely available fasteners for a dependable, straightforward installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the "-REV" designation mean on the MTS24C-REV?

The "-REV" suffix indicates that the bend on the strap is reversed compared to the standard orientation. This reverse bend configuration is useful when the standard bend direction would cause fitment or clearance issues during installation.

Do I need to wrap this strap over the truss to achieve the allowable load?

No. One of the key advantages of the reverse bend MTS strap is that it does not need to be wrapped over the truss to achieve the allowable load, making installation more straightforward in many applications.

What fasteners are recommended for installing the MTS24C-REV?

Install with 10d common nails, 10d x 1-1/2 in. nails, or #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD screws for proper performance.

What is the coating on the MTS24C-REV and why does it matter?

The MTS24C-REV features a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating, which provides a layer of corrosion resistance to help protect the strap in typical construction environments where moisture exposure may be a concern.
