The hurricane tie is designed for use with 2x4 lumber roof rafters to provide a strong connection to the top plate of the wall. It's ideal for connections when there are higher-load demands on the structure and provides lateral resistance in a seismic event. The hurricane tie installs with half the nails that are needed for two single-sided twist straps, and offers a higher lateral allowable load, making it a cost-effective and higher-performing solution to tie down an LVL roof.
Heavy-Duty Galvanized Steel: Galvanized 18 gauge thick steel resists corrosion and withstands extreme weather, ensuring long-term reliability for roofs, decks, and walls
Fits 2x4 Lumber: Engineered with an expanded seat to securely accommodate most standard 2x4 lumber rafters for versatile structural use
Flexible Installation Options: Can be installed on the inside or outside of walls, or both sides simultaneously, offering adaptability for diverse framing and bracing needs
Reinforced with Stiffening Embossments: Proprietary connector embossments add critical stiffness to high-stress areas, enhancing load-bearing performance and durability
Multi-Directional Flange Design: Flanges can face inward or outward during installation, providing flexibility to suit different project requirements without compromising strength
