Product Description
The Simpson H10A-2 18-Gauge Galvanized Hurricane Tie by Simpson Strong-Tie is a U-shaped structural connector engineered for high uplift applications where a rafter or truss must be secured on both sides. Designed to hold a double-ply member, the H10A-2 forms part of a continuous load path to resist wind and seismic forces, delivering reliable performance in demanding structural connections.
Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of member does the H10A-2 hold?
- The H10A-2 model is specifically designed to hold a double-ply member. Its U-shaped form grips the rafter or truss on both sides, making it suitable for higher uplift applications compared to single-sided ties.
- Can the H10A-2 be installed with screws instead of nails?
- Yes. The H10A-2 is approved for installation with the Strong-Drive SD Connector screw in addition to standard nails. Fasteners required are 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails or #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws. For optional nailing to connect shear blocking, use nails 0.131 in. x 2-1/2 in. Always use all specified fasteners.
- Can the H10A-2 be field-bent to accommodate a sloped roof?
- Yes. The slots on the H10A-2 allow field bending up to a maximum pitch of 6:12 to accommodate angled blocking. For field-bent installations, refer to H10A sloped load values.
- What finish does the H10A-2 have, and why does it matter?
- The H10A-2 features a G90 zinc galvanized finish, which provides extra corrosion resistance. This coating helps extend the service life of the connector in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
