The Simpson LSTA24 1-1/4 in. x 24 in. 20-Gauge Galvanized Strap Tie is a load-rated, precut light strap tie engineered by Simpson to resist tension loads in wood-to-wood applications. Featuring a staggered nail pattern to help minimize wood splitting, this strap tie is specifically designed for use on the edge of 2x members, making it a dependable choice for floor-to-floor clear span connections where resistance to wind and seismic forces is critical.

Key Features

• Load-rated, precut strap - arrives ready to install with no field cutting required, saving time and ensuring consistent, optimal performance on every application
• Staggered nail pattern - strategically offsets fastener placement to help minimize wood splitting, protecting lumber integrity and connection quality
• Designed to resist wind and seismic forces - engineered for tension load resistance, giving builders confidence in structural connections where lateral and uplift loads are a concern
• Floor-to-floor clear span application - purpose-built geometry supports reliable wood-to-wood connections across clear span installations between floor levels
• Edge installation on 2x members - sized and shaped specifically for the edge of 2x lumber, ensuring proper fit and load transfer without guesswork
• 20-gauge steel construction - provides the strength and rigidity needed for structural strap tie applications while keeping the profile low-profile and easy to work with
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance, helping the strap tie hold up in demanding construction environments over the long term

Why This Product

• Built for structural reliability where it counts - the LSTA24 is specifically designed to resist tension loads and engineered to stand up to wind and seismic forces, making it a trusted choice for code-conscious framing work
• Minimizes installation headaches - the precut, load-rated design and staggered nail pattern mean faster, cleaner installations with less risk of splitting lumber or compromising the connection
• Flexible fastener compatibility - works with 10d common nails or #9 x 1 1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD screws, giving installers the option to use the fastener type that best suits their workflow
• Corrosion-resistant finish for lasting performance - the G90 zinc galvanized coating provides extra protection against corrosion, supporting the long-term durability of structural connections in a range of construction environments
