Product Description
The Simpson HS24 18-Gauge Galvanized Saddle Rafter Tie is a wind and seismic tie engineered by Simpson to connect the bottom chord of a truss or rafter to double 2x4 top plates, helping resist the uplift forces generated by high winds and seismic activity. Trusted by engineers and contractors alike, this rafter hurricane tie is built to meet demanding structural requirements and delivers the consistent performance that Simpson connectors are known for.
Key Features
- Attaches the bottom chord of a truss or rafter at pitches from 0:12 to 4:12 to double 2 x 4 top plates - versatile pitch range means this tie works across a broad range of low-slope roof framing applications without requiring additional hardware.
- Double-shear nailing - allows for higher lateral resistance, giving your connection greater strength against the horizontal forces common in wind and seismic events.
- Made from 18-gauge steel - provides a sturdy, reliable connector that holds up under the structural loads placed on rafter and truss connections.
- Galvanized coating (G90) - delivers extra corrosion resistance, helping the tie maintain its integrity and load-bearing performance over time in moisture-exposed framing environments.
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for wind and seismic protection - the HS24 is specifically designed as a hurricane and seismic tie, making it the right choice when code compliance and uplift resistance are the priority for truss and rafter assemblies.
- Double-shear nailing for superior lateral strength - unlike single-shear connections, the double-shear nailing pattern increases lateral load resistance, giving builders added confidence in the structural integrity of the roof-to-wall connection.
- Wide pitch compatibility simplifies planning - with support for roof pitches from 0:12 to 4:12, this saddle tie accommodates a range of low-slope framing scenarios without needing pitch-specific alternatives.
- G90 galvanized finish for long-term durability - the zinc galvanized coating helps protect against corrosion in the conditions commonly found in exterior framing, reducing the risk of connector degradation over the life of the structure.
