The Simpson ST22 22 in. 16-Gauge Galvanized Strap Tie is a load-rated, precut structural connector engineered by Simpson to resist tension loads across a wide range of framing applications. Built for quick installation and reliable performance, this economical strap tie is the go-to solution where top or bottom plates are cut, at wall intersections, and as a ridge tie - delivering consistent, code-ready results where structural continuity matters most.

Key Features

• Engineered to resist wind and seismic forces - provides critical structural support in high-load conditions, helping keep framed assemblies intact when it counts
• Precut strap design - eliminates field cutting and speeds up installation, reducing labor time without sacrificing precision or performance
• 16-gauge steel construction - delivers the strength and rigidity needed for demanding structural connections without adding unnecessary bulk
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - offers a high level of corrosion resistance, helping the strap hold up in moisture-prone and demanding installation environments
• 1-1/4 in. width by 21-5/8 in. length - sized to span common framing gaps and wall plate interruptions with no modification required

Why This Product

• Versatile tension resistance across multiple applications - whether used at wall intersections, as a ridge tie, or where top or bottom plates are cut, this single strap handles the tension loads that keep a structure sound
• Ready to install right out of the package - the precut format means no measuring or trimming on the job site, making it a practical choice for framing crews focused on efficiency
• Dual fastener compatibility - installs with either (18) 0.162 in. x 2-1/2 in. nails or (12) #10 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws, giving installers flexibility based on the tools and fasteners already on hand
• Economical without compromising engineering - Simpson designed this strap tie to be a cost-effective solution that still meets the load-rated performance standards expected from a structural connector
