The Simpson CS16 16-Gauge Galvanized Coiled Strap from Simpson Strong-Tie is a continuous utility coiled strap engineered to join and reinforce structural connections across a wide range of light repair and heavy-duty framing applications. Supplied in a 150 ft. coil, it is designed to be cut to the exact length needed directly on the job site, eliminating excess material waste and simplifying installation. Whether used on the wide or narrow face of lumber, this versatile coiled strapping delivers reliable tension and uplift resistance for single 2x stud or post connections, floor-to-floor assemblies, roof uplift resistance, and shear wall overturning resistance.

Key Features

• Sized to fit nominal 2x lumber - works precisely with standard framing dimensions, reducing fitment issues on the job site
• 150 ft. continuous coil - provides ample length for multiple connections from a single roll, cutting down on material changeovers during a project
• 16-gauge steel construction - delivers the structural strength needed for both light repairs and heavy-duty framing without adding unnecessary bulk
• Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating - provides extra corrosion resistance, making this coiled strap suitable for applications where moisture exposure is a concern
• Cut-to-length design - allows installers to trim the strap on site to any required dimension, maximizing flexibility and minimizing waste
• Usable on the wide or narrow face of lumber - adapts to different connection orientations without requiring a separate product
• Packaged in lightweight cartons - makes transport and handling on the job site easier, reducing fatigue and improving workflow

Why This Product

• One coil, countless connections - the 150 ft. continuous strap can be cut to any length on site, giving framing crews the flexibility to tackle a full range of structural strap connections from a single roll without pre-ordering custom lengths
• Built for real-world corrosion demands - the Zinc Galvanized, G90 finish goes beyond basic galvanizing to provide extra protection in moisture-prone environments, helping the strap maintain structural integrity over time
• Versatile across multiple structural applications - from resisting uplift in floor-to-floor assemblies and roof uplift resistance to shear wall overturning and single 2x post connections, this coiled strapping handles a broad scope of framing tasks with a single product
• Simpson Strong-Tie engineering with familiar fastener compatibility - installs with widely available #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws or common nails, so crews can get to work without sourcing specialty hardware
