Product Description
The Simpson LSTA36 1-1/4 in. x 36 in. 18-Gauge Galvanized Strap Tie is a load-rated, precut light strap tie engineered by Simpson to resist tension loads in wood-to-wood applications. Built for floor-to-floor clear span connections and edge installations on 2x members, this strap tie features a staggered nail pattern that helps minimize wood splitting during fastening. The G90 zinc galvanized coating delivers added corrosion resistance, making this connector a dependable choice for structural connections that must stand up to wind and seismic forces.
Key Features
- Load-rated, precut design - arrives ready to install at full rated capacity, saving time and eliminating guesswork on the job site
- Engineered to resist wind and seismic forces - provides reliable structural performance in demanding load conditions where connection integrity is critical
- Floor-to-floor clear span application - spans the gap between floor levels cleanly, making it well-suited for multi-story wood-frame construction
- Staggered nail pattern - distributes fastener placement to help minimize wood splitting when securing the strap to 2x members, protecting both the connector and the wood
- Designed for edge use on 2x members - the 1-1/4 in. width is sized specifically for clean, correct positioning on standard dimensional lumber edges
- 18-gauge steel construction - provides the right balance of strength and workability for light strap tie applications in wood-to-wood connections
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - offers extra corrosion resistance to help the connector hold up in demanding construction environments over the long term
- Compatible with 10d common nails or #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD screws - works with widely available fasteners so installation fits into standard workflows without sourcing specialty hardware
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for wood-to-wood tension resistance - the LSTA36 is specifically designed to resist tension loads at wood-to-wood connections, giving builders a code-friendly, load-rated solution for structural strapping rather than a generic alternative
- Splitting-conscious fastening geometry - the staggered nail pattern is an intentional engineering detail that reduces the risk of splitting 2x lumber during installation, helping maintain the structural integrity of both the member and the connection
- Corrosion protection built in from the start - the G90 galvanized finish means the strap arrives with a durable protective coating already applied, reducing long-term maintenance concerns in environments where moisture exposure is a factor
- Precut length eliminates field fabrication - at a fixed 36 in. length, this strap tie is ready to place immediately without cutting or bending, which keeps floor-to-floor strapping installations consistent and efficient across a project
