Simpson CS20 Galvanized Coiled Strap by Simpson Strong-Tie is a continuous utility coiled strap engineered to join and reinforce framing joints across a wide range of structural connections. This 250-foot roll of 20-gauge steel is sized to fit nominal 2x lumber and can be cut to any length directly on the job site, giving contractors and builders the flexibility to handle everything from light repairs to heavy-duty framing applications without waste. The G90 zinc galvanized coating delivers extra corrosion resistance, making this coiled strapping a dependable choice for demanding construction conditions where long-term structural integrity matters.

Key Features

• Sized to fit nominal 2x lumber - ensures a precise, consistent fit on standard framing members without guesswork or field modification
• 250-foot continuous roll, cuttable on the job site - lets you use exactly the length needed for each connection, reducing material waste and improving efficiency across multiple applications
• 20-gauge steel construction - provides dependable strength for both light-duty repairs and heavy structural reinforcement tasks
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - offers extra corrosion resistance to help maintain the strap's structural performance in tough or moisture-prone environments over time
• Packaged in lightweight cartons - makes the roll easy to transport and handle on the job site, reducing fatigue during material staging and installation
• Can be used on the wide or narrow face of lumber - and is designed for back-to-back installation on a single member without fastener interference, maximizing connection versatility

Why This Product

• Job-site flexibility built in - because the CS20 is a continuous utility strap that cuts to length on site, one roll can serve dozens of different connection lengths on the same project, eliminating the need to stock multiple fixed-length straps
• Corrosion resistance you can count on - the G90 zinc galvanized finish goes beyond basic galvanizing to provide extra protection in moisture-exposed framing applications, supporting long-term durability in the connections where this strap is used most
• Versatile installation across connection types - compatible with multiple approved fastener types including Strong-Drive SD Connector screws and two nail sizes, this strap adapts to the fastening method already on the job rather than requiring specialized hardware
• Designed for standard framing without modification - sized specifically for nominal 2x lumber and engineered to work back-to-back without fastener interference, this strap simplifies installation and helps keep projects moving on schedule
