Frequently Asked Questions
- What fasteners should be used to install the MSTA36SS?
- Install with 10d stainless-steel common nails. Using stainless-steel fasteners maintains the corrosion resistance of the connector throughout its service life.
- Why choose a load-rated strap tie over a field-fabricated strap?
- The MSTA36SS is load rated with the correct thickness and number of fasteners, ensuring verified performance. Field-fabricated straps lack this engineering assurance and may not meet code requirements for wind and seismic resistance.
- What does the staggered nail pattern do?
- The staggered nail pattern is designed to help minimize wood splitting during installation, preserving the structural integrity of the connected members.
- Where on the lumber is the MSTA36SS designed to be installed?
- The MSTA36SS is designed for use on the edge of 2x members, making it suitable for floor-to-floor clear span applications where edge-mounted strapping is required.
