Product Description
The Simpson MTS30C-REV 30" Medium Twist Strap - Reverse Bend is a zinc galvanized structural connector engineered by Simpson to deliver reliable tension connections between two structural members. Designed for moderate uplift resistance at the rafter or heel of a truss, this strap features a reverse bend orientation that gives installers added flexibility in situations where a standard bend direction would create interference. The result is a cleaner, more adaptable installation for a wide range of framing applications.
Key Features
- Reverse bend configuration - allows the strap to be installed where a standard orientation would cause interference, expanding the range of compatible framing conditions without compromising connection integrity.
- No over-truss wrapping required - the allowable load is achieved without wrapping the strap over the truss, simplifying the installation process and reducing stress on the material during application.
- Small bend section - reduces interference at transition points between two members, resulting in a cleaner fit and a more precise, professional connection.
- Zinc galvanized, G90 coating - provides corrosion resistance suited to typical structural framing environments, helping maintain connection performance over time.
- Tension connection function - specifically engineered to resist moderate uplift loads at the rafter and at the heel of a truss, addressing two of the most common structural tie-down needs in residential and light commercial framing.
Why This Product
- Solves a common installation challenge - the reverse bend design directly addresses situations where a standard twist strap cannot be oriented correctly, letting contractors complete the connection without improvising or sourcing a custom solution.
- Faster, simpler installation - because the strap does not need to be wrapped over the truss to develop its full allowable load, installers save time and avoid the additional handling steps associated with conventional strap placement.
- Domestically produced connector - this strap is a product of the United States, consistent with project specifications or procurement requirements that prioritize domestic-origin structural hardware.
- Purpose-built for moderate uplift resistance - engineered specifically for rafter and truss-heel applications, this connector gives builders a dedicated, code-applicable fastening solution rather than a general-purpose strap adapted to the task.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "-REV" designation mean on the MTS30C-REV?
The "-REV" suffix indicates that this strap features a reverse bend configuration. This means the bend in the strap is oriented in the opposite direction compared to the standard model, providing added flexibility for installations where the standard bend orientation would cause interference.
Does the MTS30C-REV need to be wrapped over the truss to achieve the allowable load?
No. The MTS twist strap does not need to be wrapped over the truss to achieve the allowable load, simplifying the installation process and reducing material stress during application.
What fasteners are recommended for installing the MTS30C-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 a proper and code-compliant connection.
What is the purpose of the small bend section on the MTS30C-REV?
The small bend section is specifically designed to reduce interference at the transition points between the two members being connected, allowing for a cleaner and more precise installation in tight framing conditions.
