Product Description
The Simpson LTS12SS LTS 12 in. 18-Gauge Stainless-Steel Twist Strap by Simpson Strong-Tie provides a reliable tension connection between two wood members, resisting uplift at the heel of a truss economically. Crafted from stainless steel for high and severe corrosion resistance, this twist strap is an ideal choice for coastal, marine, and other demanding environments where corrosion protection is critical. The built-in 2-in. bend section reduces interference at transition points, making installation clean and efficient across a wide range of light to medium uplift load applications.
