Product Description
The Simpson MTS30-REV 30" Medium Twist Strap - Reverse Bend is a structural connector from Simpson engineered to create reliable tension connections between framing members in residential and light-frame construction. Its reversed bend configuration is purpose-built for installations where a standard bend orientation would create interference, giving framers a clean, low-profile solution at rafter connections and truss heel points without the added step of wrapping the strap over the truss to achieve the allowable load.
Key Features
- Reversed bend configuration - accommodates framing conditions where a standard orientation would interfere with adjacent members, expanding where and how this twist strap can be installed
- No wrapping over the truss required - the strap achieves its allowable load without being wrapped over the truss, reducing installation time and labor at the rafter or truss heel
- Small bend section - minimizes obstruction at transition points between framing members, keeping the connection economical and unobtrusive
- Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating - provides a layer of corrosion resistance that helps protect the strap in typical framing environments, supporting long-term connection performance
- 16-gauge, 54 mil construction - delivers the structural integrity needed for moderate uplift resistance in medium-duty framing applications
- Compatible with common fastener types - installs with 10d common nails, 10d x 1 1/2 in. nails, or #9 x 1 1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD screws, working with fasteners already on most job sites
Why This Product
- Solves a specific framing challenge - the reverse bend is designed for situations where a standard twist strap would create interference, making this the right connector when framing geometry demands an alternative orientation rather than a workaround
- Simplifies the installation process - because the strap does not need to be wrapped over the truss to achieve the allowable load, crews can complete the connection faster and with fewer steps compared to configurations that require full wrapping
- Built for lasting protection - the G90 zinc galvanized coating helps guard against corrosion in typical wood-frame construction environments, supporting the durability of the structural connection over time
- Domestic manufacturing - produced in the United States under Simpson quality standards, offering builders and contractors confidence in consistency and material traceability

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of fasteners are required to install the MTS30-REV?
Install with 10d common nails, 10d x 1-1/2 in. nails, or #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD screws.
What is the difference between the MTS30 and the MTS30-REV?
The MTS30-REV features a reversed bend configuration compared to the standard MTS30. This reverse bend is designed to accommodate framing conditions where the standard bend orientation would create interference, offering greater installation flexibility.
Does the MTS30-REV need to be wrapped over the truss during installation?
No. The MTS30-REV is specifically designed so that the strap does not need to be wrapped over the truss in order to achieve the allowable load, simplifying installation.
What is the coating on the MTS30-REV and why does it matter?
The MTS30-REV features a Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating. This coating provides a layer of corrosion resistance, helping to protect the strap in typical framing environments and contributing to the long-term performance of the connection.
