Product Description
The Simpson LSTHD8 18-5/8 in. 14-Gauge Galvanized Strap-Tie Holdown is an embedded strap-tie holdown engineered with features that aid correct installation and improve performance in both wood and cold-formed steel construction. When installed on the forms with the StrapMate strap holder or other holding device, the unique design of this light cast-in-place strap-tie holdown delivers enhanced stability before and during the pour to help prevent both parallel and perpendicular movement.
Key Features
- Staggered nailing pattern - helps minimize splitting and allows for nailing to the edges of double 2x members, making installation cleaner and reducing the risk of wood damage during fastening.
- Countersunk strap nail slots - provide a lower nail head profile when used with specified fasteners, resulting in a flush, secure connection that won't interfere with adjacent framing members.
- Slots below the embedment line - enable increased front-to-back concrete bond and help reduce spalling, giving you a stronger, more reliable anchor point in cast-in-place concrete applications.
- 14-gauge steel construction - delivers a solid structural hold in a light, manageable form factor suited for both wood framing and cold-formed steel projects.
- Zinc Galvanized (G90) finish - provides extra corrosion resistance to support long-term durability in demanding jobsite and environmental conditions.
Why This Product
- Engineered for pour-stage stability - the design actively helps prevent both parallel and perpendicular movement before and during the concrete pour, reducing the chance of costly repositioning or rework on the jobsite.
- Built for versatile structural applications - compatible with both wood and cold-formed steel construction, this embedded holdown strap adapts to a wide range of residential and light commercial framing scenarios without requiring a different connector.
- Installation-friendly design details - from countersunk nail slots to a staggered hole pattern, every element of this holdown strap is designed to make proper placement faster and more straightforward, even in tight framing conditions.
- Domestic Simpson quality with corrosion protection - made to Simpson's engineering standards and finished with a G90 galvanized coating, this strap-tie holdown is built to hold up in the conditions where embedded concrete anchors are most commonly needed.
