Product Description
The Simpson H2ASS H2A 18-Gauge Stainless-Steel Hurricane Tie is a single-sided hurricane tie engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie to make a direct connection between the rafter or truss, the top plates, and the wall studs. A value-added solution for high-wind applications, it is designed to resist uplift and lateral loads. By capturing all three framing members, the H2A eliminates the need for a separate top-plate-to-stud connection, forming part of a continuous load path to resist wind and seismic forces.
