Product Description
The Simpson SPH6R Heavy Duty Rough Stud Plate Tie is a Simpson-engineered, heavy U-shaped strap connector built to create a reliable stud-to-plate connection that resists roof uplift in wood-framed construction. Its horizontal bearing portion seats firmly against wood wall top plates or sill plates, while two vertical legs nail directly to the edges of a wood stud, providing proven resistance against wind and seismic forces before the wall is ever set in place.
Key Features
- Heavy U-shaped strap profile - delivers a secure, rigid stud-to-plate connection that keeps framing members properly aligned under lateral and uplift loads
- Horizontal bearing portion seats against wood wall top plates or sill plates - distributes load evenly across the plate surface for dependable structural performance at every connection point
- Two vertical legs nail to the edges of a wood stud - allows straightforward field installation with standard nails, reducing labor time during framing
- Designed to resist wind and seismic forces - gives builders and engineers confidence that stud-to-plate connections meet structural demands in high-load environments
- No top or bottom track attachment required - simplifies installation and eliminates extra hardware, making this a cost-effective solution for stud-to-plate ties
- 18-gauge steel with Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating - provides corrosion resistance for long-term durability in structural framing applications
- Installed before wall placement - fits naturally into standard framing sequences without disrupting workflow on the jobsite
Why This Product
- Purpose-built uplift resistance - the SPH6R is specifically engineered as a stud-to-plate connector to resist roof uplift, making it a targeted, reliable choice for wind and seismic load applications rather than a general-purpose strap
- Simplified installation with no track attachment needed - because the SPH6R requires no top or bottom track, framers can complete stud-to-plate connections quickly and cleanly, reducing material costs and installation steps
- Trusted Simpson engineering, made in the United States - backed by Simpson's reputation for structural connector quality, this heavy-duty plate tie is produced domestically for builders who prioritize consistent, verifiable product standards
- G90 galvanized coating for lasting performance - the Zinc Galvanized, G90 finish protects the connector against corrosion over the life of the structure, reducing maintenance concerns in demanding framing environments

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary purpose of the Simpson SPH6R?
The SPH6R is designed as a stud-to-plate connection to resist roof uplift. Its heavy U-shaped strap profile allows it to connect wood studs to wall top plates or sill plates, providing resistance against wind and seismic forces.
What gauge steel is used in the SPH6R, and what coating does it have?
The SPH6R is constructed from 18-gauge steel and features a Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating, which provides corrosion resistance for long-term durability in structural applications.
What fasteners are required to install the SPH6R?
Installation of the SPH6R requires (10-12) 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails. The vertical legs of the strap are nailed to the edges of a wood stud while the horizontal portion bears against the plate.
Does the SPH6R require attachment to a top or bottom track?
No, the SPH6R does not require top or bottom track attachment. It is designed for installation before the placement of the wall, making it a straightforward and cost-effective stud-to-plate connection option.
