The Simpson CMST14 14-gauge galvanized coiled strap from Simpson Strong-Tie is a versatile, cut-to-length strapping solution engineered to join and reinforce structural framing joints across a wide range of connections. Packaged as a 52 1/2 ft. coil, it is specifically designed to be cut to the exact length needed directly on the job site, making it equally suited for light repairs and heavy-duty framing projects. The strap can be applied to the wide or narrow face of lumber, and the design supports back-to-back installation on a single piece of lumber without fastener interference - giving installers flexible, efficient options for complex connections. A G90 zinc galvanized coating delivers enhanced corrosion resistance, while the pre-punched nail slots and staggered nail pattern simplify fastening with 10d or 16d common nails.

Key Features

• Pre-punched nail slots - eliminate the need to pre-drill and speed up installation, reducing labor time on the job site
• Staggered nail pattern - distributes load more evenly across the connection while reducing the risk of splitting the lumber
• Cut-to-length coil format - lets installers trim exactly what they need on site, minimizing material waste across multiple connections from a single roll
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the structural thickness needed for both light repairs and demanding heavy-duty framing applications
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - offers a higher level of corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanized coatings, supporting longer service life in exposed or moisture-prone framing environments
• Wide and narrow face application - allows the strap to be oriented to suit the specific geometry of the connection, increasing versatility across different lumber dimensions
• Back-to-back installation compatible - multiple straps can be applied to a single piece of lumber without fastener interference, supporting stronger reinforcement on doubled studs or posts

Why This Product

• One coil, countless connections - the 52 1/2 ft. coil format provides ample material to address multiple joints from a single roll, making it a practical choice for contractors working across an entire framing project rather than cutting individual straps to size in advance
• Simplified fastening built into the design - the combination of pre-punched nail slots and a staggered nail pattern means less layout work and faster installation, with a fastening geometry that supports consistent load distribution across each connection
• Corrosion-resistant finish rated for demanding environments - the G90 zinc galvanized coating provides a meaningful layer of protection against moisture and corrosion, making this strap a reliable option for framing applications where long-term performance in exposed conditions matters
• Flexible enough for light repairs, strong enough for structural framing - the ability to apply the strap to the wide or narrow face of lumber, combined with back-to-back installation compatibility, means a single product can address a broad spectrum of connection types without requiring multiple specialty straps
