Product Description
The Simpson MST37 Medium Strap Tie is a load-rated, precut 12-gauge galvanized steel strap engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie to resist tension loads in floor-to-floor connections and a wide range of structural tie applications. Built with a dense nailing pattern and compatible with nails, bolts, or screws, this high-capacity strap delivers installation flexibility and reliable performance when connecting double or greater 2x members in wind- and seismic-rated assemblies.
Key Features
- Load-rated and precut design - arrives with the correct thickness and number of fastener holes already determined, eliminating guesswork and speeding up installation on the job site
- Multiple fastener options (nails, bolts, or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws) - gives installers the flexibility to use the fastener type that best suits the application and available tools
- Dense nailing pattern - maximizes load transfer across the connection for high-capacity structural performance
- Compatible with embedded purlin anchor (PA) straps - allows the strap to be extended for longer applications without requiring a separate custom solution
- Designed to resist wind and seismic forces - suitable for use in lateral-load applications where code-compliant tension resistance is required
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - provides corrosion resistance to help maintain structural integrity in exposed or moisture-prone environments
- Suitable for 3-1/2 in. or greater members - correctly sized for double or greater 2x framing, ensuring a proper fit without modification
Why This Product
- Ready to install out of the box - because the MST37 is precut and load-rated with the precise number of fastener holes built in, contractors and builders can move faster on the job site without cutting, measuring, or second-guessing the connection design
- Versatile fastener compatibility - the ability to install with nails, bolts, or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws means this strap adapts to different job site conditions and installer preferences without requiring additional hardware
- Engineered for high-demand structural applications - with its 12-gauge construction and resistance to both wind and seismic forces, this strap tie is well suited for floor-to-floor connections and other tension-critical assemblies where performance cannot be compromised
- Extendable for greater length requirements - compatibility with embedded purlin anchor (PA) straps means the MST37 can serve longer connection applications, reducing the need to source a completely different product when added reach is needed
