LSTA 24- Designed for use on the edge of 2x members, with a nailing pattern that reduces the potential for splitting. These straps are galvanized with dimensions of 1-1/4" Wide x 24" Long x 20-Gauge. LSTA straps are engineered for use on 1-1/2-inch members. They can be used where plates or soles are cut, at wall intersections, and as ridge ties. The 3-inch center-to-center nail spacing reduces the possibility of splitting.
