Product Description
The Simpson PSQ218 2x18 Piling Strap Quick-Install is a load-rated, precut connector engineered by Simpson to create a strong, reliable connection between wood girders and piles, supporting heavy, concentrated loads in demanding structural applications. Finished with a hot-dip galvanized coating for lasting corrosion resistance, this 7-gauge pile strap is designed for fast, efficient installation using the patented Strong-Drive SDWH Timber-Hex HDG screws, making it a dependable choice for marine, waterfront, and other exposed structural environments where performance and durability cannot be compromised.
Key Features
- Hot-dip galvanized (HDG) coating - delivers corrosion resistance in moisture-prone and exposed environments, extending the service life of the connection without sacrificing structural integrity.
- Load-rated, precut strap design - eliminates field cutting and guesswork, allowing installers to work faster and with greater confidence in load-carrying performance.
- Quick-install engineering - pairs with the patented Strong-Drive SDWH Timber-Hex HDG screws for a streamlined fastening process that reduces labor time on the jobsite.
- Greatest strength when wood members are notched - maximizes load transfer between the girder and pile, making it ideal for notched-member applications where connection strength is critical.
- Designed to resist wind and seismic forces - provides structural reliability in high-stress environments where lateral and uplift loads are a primary concern.
Why This Product
- Built for heavy, concentrated loads - this pile strap is specifically engineered to handle the demanding load requirements of girder-to-pile connections, giving builders a connector they can spec with confidence for critical structural work.
- Corrosion-resistant finish suited for tough conditions - the hot-dip galvanized coating makes this strap a practical choice for projects exposed to moisture and the elements, reducing long-term maintenance concerns.
- Faster installation without cutting or customizing - the precut, quick-install format means crews spend less time on prep and more time moving the project forward, lowering overall labor costs.
- Trusted Simpson quality, made in the United States - backed by the engineering standards Simpson is known for, this connector is produced domestically, supporting quality control from production through installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the PSQ218 designed to do?
- The PSQ218 is designed to support heavy, concentrated loads by creating a strong connection between wood girders and piles. It is a load-rated, precut strap built for quick installation and optimal performance.
- When does the PSQ218 deliver its greatest strength?
- This pile strap brings greatest strength to the connection when the wood members are notched, maximizing load transfer between the girder and pile.
- What fasteners are required to install the PSQ218?
- Installation requires (8) SDWH27400G Strong-Drive(R) SDWH Timber-Hex HDG screws. These fasteners are not included with the strap and must be obtained separately.
- Why is the PSQ218 hot-dip galvanized?
- The hot-dip galvanized (HDG) coating provides corrosion resistance, making the PSQ218 suitable for use in environments where exposure to moisture and the elements is a concern, while also supporting the strap's ability to resist wind and seismic forces.
