Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie MSTAM24 MSTAM 24 in. 18-Gauge Galvanized Medium Strap Tie for Masonry is an engineered connector designed to resist tension loads in wood-to-masonry uplift applications. Built from 18-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish for lasting corrosion resistance, this medium strap tie is compatible with both concrete and grout-filled concrete masonry units (GFCMU). Its staggered nail pattern helps minimize wood splitting during installation, delivering reliable, load-rated performance that field-fabricated straps simply cannot match.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What fasteners are required to install the MSTAM24?
- Install with (9) 0.148 in. x 3 in. common nails AND (5) 1-1/4 in. x 2-1/4 in. Titen Turbo screws for GFCMU, OR (5) 1-1/4 in. x 1-3/4 in. Titen Turbo screws for concrete.
- Is the MSTAM24 compatible with both concrete and grout-filled concrete masonry units?
- Yes. The MSTAM24 is designed for use with either concrete or grout-filled concrete masonry units (GFCMU), with specific fastener requirements for each substrate as noted in the installation instructions.
- Why is the MSTAM24 preferable to a field-fabricated strap?
- Unlike field-fabricated straps, the MSTAM24 is load rated with the correct thickness and number of fasteners, ensuring consistent, engineered performance. Its loads have also been increased for wind and seismic forces.
- What does the G90 galvanized coating provide?
- The G90 zinc galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance, helping the strap maintain structural integrity in the demanding environments typical of masonry construction applications.
