Product Description
The Simpson 24 in. Heavy Twist Strap from Simpson delivers a reliable tension connection between two structural members, engineered specifically to resist heavy uplift loads at the rafter or heel of a truss. Its 3-3/4 in. bend section eliminates interference at the transition points between connected members, making it a practical and economical choice for demanding framing applications where rafter tie-down and truss uplift resistance are critical.
Key Features
- 3-3/4 in. bend section - eliminates interference at transition points between members, allowing for cleaner, more accurate installation in tight framing conditions
- No wrapping over the truss required - achieves the allowable load without wrapping, reducing installation time and labor on the job site
- 14-gauge steel construction - provides the structural strength needed to handle heavy uplift forces at rafters and truss heels
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance, making this twist strap well suited for exposed or moisture-prone framing environments
- 24 in. length with multiple lengths available - fits the specific requirements of your application, with the versatility to select the right size for the connection at hand
- Available with the bend reversed - accommodates varying installation orientations without requiring field modification, preserving structural integrity
Why This Product
- Economical uplift resistance - the HTS24 is designed to resist heavy uplift loads at rafters and truss heels without the added cost or complexity of bulkier connectors, giving builders a straightforward, cost-effective tension strap solution
- Simplified installation - because the strap does not need to be wrapped over the truss to achieve its rated load, contractors save time on each connection and reduce the risk of installation error during framing
- Built-in interference relief - the 3-3/4 in. bend section is specifically designed to clear the transition point between two members, minimizing fit-up problems and keeping the installation square and secure
- Corrosion-resistant for lasting performance - the G90 zinc galvanized coating provides a durable barrier against moisture and corrosion, supporting long-term structural integrity in applications where environmental exposure is a concern
