Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie MSTI36 Medium Strap Tie is a high-capacity steel tension strap engineered to resist tension loads across a variety of structural connections. Built from 12-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized coating for superior corrosion resistance, this 36-inch strap is ideal for use on wood I-joists as well as for vertical applications on composite wood products where applicable. Its staggered nail pattern and 3-inch nail spacing work together to minimize the risk of wood splitting, making it a reliable choice for both light repairs and heavy-duty structural projects.
