Product Description
Simpson HST3 Heavy Strap Tie is a heavy, load-rated, precut strap tie from Simpson engineered to support heavy, concentrated loads by creating a strong connection between wood girders and piles. Built from 3-gauge steel and finished with Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint, this heavy strap tie delivers optimal performance in demanding structural applications where wind and seismic resistance are critical. Whether you are tackling heavy-duty timber framing, pier and girder connections, or reinforcing joints against lateral forces, the HST3 is a purpose-built solution designed for structural confidence.
Key Features
- Installs with machine bolts - provides a secure, hardware-driven connection suited for heavy structural loads without relying on nails alone
- Designed to resist wind and seismic forces - engineered for use in structurally demanding environments where lateral load resistance is required by code or engineering specifications
- 3-gauge steel construction - extra-heavy steel thickness delivers the strength and rigidity needed for concentrated load transfer between girders and piles
- Precut strap design - arrives ready to install at 3 in. wide and 25 1/2 in. long, eliminating field cutting and helping keep projects on schedule
- Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish - provides a protective coating that helps guard the steel strap against the wear of construction environments
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for heavy, concentrated loads - unlike general-purpose straps, the HST3 is specifically designed to handle the demands of wood girder-to-pile connections, making it a reliable choice for heavy structural work
- Wind and seismic rated for code-sensitive applications - the HST3 is engineered to resist wind and seismic forces, giving builders and contractors a strap tie they can specify with confidence in high-demand or code-restricted regions
- Heavy 3-gauge steel for maximum structural integrity - the thick steel gauge sets this strap apart from lighter alternatives, supporting the kind of load-rated performance that heavy timber and pile construction requires
- Simple, versatile bolt-based installation - the machine bolt installation method suits a wide range of heavy-duty connection scenarios, making the HST3 a practical and adaptable choice for structural connectors on the job site
