Product Description
The Simpson MTS20Z MTS 20 in. 16-Gauge ZMAX Galvanized Medium Twist Strap by Simpson Strong-Tie provides a reliable tension connection between two structural members. This economical twist strap resists moderate uplift loads at the rafter or heel of a truss, featuring a 2-in. bend section that reduces interference at the transition points between the two members. ZMAX galvanization delivers enhanced corrosion resistance, making it well suited for exterior and treated-wood applications.
