Product Description
The Simpson SP8 Stud Plate Tie (Model No. SP8) is a U-shaped structural connector from Simpson Strong-Tie engineered to create a reliable stud-to-plate connection that resists uplift forces in wood-framed walls. Measuring 7-5/16 in. wide by 8-5/16 in. long, this 20-gauge galvanized steel tie features a horizontal bearing portion that seats firmly against wood-wall top plates or sill plates, while two vertical legs nail securely to the edges of a wood stud. Load rated to resist wind and seismic forces, the SP8 is a cost-effective solution when properly installed before the placement of the wall.
