Product Description
Simpson MSTA24SS MSTA 24-in. 18-Gauge Stainless-Steel Medium Strap Tie by Simpson is engineered to resist tension loads in wood-to-wood uplift applications. This medium strap tie features a staggered nail pattern to help minimize wood splitting and is specifically designed for use on the edge of 2x members, making it a reliable solution for floor-to-floor clear span applications where enhanced wind and seismic resistance is required. Constructed from stainless steel, this strap tie delivers high and severe corrosion resistance for demanding environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What fasteners should be used to install the MSTA24SS?
- Install with 10d stainless-steel common nails to ensure compatibility with the strap's load ratings and corrosion-resistance requirements.
- Why choose a load-rated strap like the MSTA24SS over a field-fabricated strap?
- The MSTA24SS is load rated with the correct thickness and number of fasteners, providing verified performance that field-fabricated straps cannot reliably match. This ensures consistent structural integrity in wind and seismic force applications.
- How does the staggered nail pattern benefit the installation?
- The staggered nail pattern is designed to help minimize wood splitting during fastener installation, preserving the integrity of the wood members and maintaining the strap's load-rated performance.
- Is the MSTA24SS suitable for use in corrosive environments?
- Yes. The MSTA24SS is made from stainless steel, which provides high and severe corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for environments where standard steel connectors would be susceptible to corrosion degradation.
