Concrete Ties provide wind and seismic anchorage. Duration of load increases of 33% and 60% are listed. Further increases are not allowed. Bolt and Nail loads are not additive. Allowable loads are predicated on: parallel to grain bolt loading; main member thickness of 3" for CT and 3-1/2" for CTH, and 2" nail penetration; concrete embedment of 4" for CT and 6" for CTH.

Material : 12 gauge and 10 gauge.
Finish : Galvanized G60 and Black Copolymer Paint.

Foundation Ties provide deep embedment in concrete footings for anchorage of wood members.

Material : 12 gauge. and 10 gauge.
Finish : Galvanized G60.

Foundation Ties are especially designed for anchorage in crawl spaces. They provide a positive anchorage to footings for wind and seismic loadings.

Material : 12 gauge and 10 gauge.
Finish : Galvanized G60.

Duration of load increases of 33% and 60% are listed; further increases are not allowed. Bolt and nail allowable loads are not additive. Bolt values are for perpendicular to grain loading. Nails are 10d x 1 1/2" (diameter 0.148").
Fc=2000 PSI minimum for concrete.

Concrete Angles provide a fast and economical anchorage to concrete footers and foundations. The CA-5 is for use with expansion shields or other approved anchors. The CA-10 is for direct embedment in concrete.

Material : 12 gauge.
Finish : Galvanized G60.

Lateral Connector Straps prevent separation of purlins from beams and girders under seismic loading.
Seismic duration of load increases of 33% are listed; no additional increases are allowed. Nail and bolt values are not additive.
Minimum member widths are: bolts: 3", nails 2".

Material : 11 gauge, 7 gauge and 3 gauge.
Finish : Black copolymer paint.

Knee Brace Straps counteract lateral movement and torquing of beams and girders under seismic loading. They are easily attached to members during or after construction.
Seismic duration of load increases are listed; no additional increases are allowed.

Material : 12 gauge.
Finish : Galvanized G60.

Angle Stiffeners improve the rigidity of any 90° wood connection. They develop the full allowable capability of bolts. Angle stiffeners also function as heavy-duty truss tie-downs. Because of the wide range of allowable loads for bolts when loaded parallel and perpendicular to grain, and at intermediate angles, load values are not listed. These can be obtained from National Design Specification for Wood Construction, published by American Forest and Paper Association.

Material : 7 gauge and 3 gauge. ASTM A36.
Finish : Black Copolymer Paint.

Interior Lift Anchors provide lateral support for interior non-load bearing walls. Slots permit bottom chords to lift without lifting walls.

Material : 20 gauge.
Finish : Galvanized G60.

Designed for point loads on floor trusses, open joists, and engineered wood beams.
By transferring load from the bottom chord or flange to the top chord or flange of adjacent girder plies, the load is shared equally and applied in the manner in which the girder was designed. Overstress of plated joints or glue-lines is eliminated.
Available for all standard member widths and depths.

Material : 18 gauge and 16 gauge.
Finish : Galvanized G60.

Angle Clips are strong, economical connectors. Hundreds of uses for five sizes.

Material : 16 gauge.
Finish : Galvanized G60.

Twist Straps secure crossing members. Can hold up or tie down intersections. Generally used in pairs. Half RH and half LH in each carton.

Material : 16 gauge.
Finish : Galvanized G60.

Lowest Cost and Most Efficient Method to Brace Walls

Designed to give 8' walls the required code bracing to prevent racking. Quicker to install than 1 x 4 let-in wood bracing. Use T-9 for 60° angle and T-11 for 45° angle. Packed 20 pieces per carton.

Material : 20 ga.
Finish : Galvanized.

Used in place of wood blocking on roof sheathing of plywood or waferboard.

Material : Steel or Aluminum.

HC-10 Hoist Clip attaches to wall panels for overhead crane lifting. Offset design avoids interference when a roof truss locates over the stud. HC-10 installs three ways; to a stud with double plate; a stud with single plate; or a double plate only.

Material : 14 ga.
Finish : Galvanized G60

Material : 7 gauge and 3 gauge.
Finish : Black copolymer paint.

Accurate - Quick - Economical
Truss Spacers speed the placing of roof trusses, eliminates need to cut and remove spacer blocks. End flanges accurately locate each truss top and bottom chords at 24" center to center spacing.

Warning : Not to be used as bracing. TSP-24 has no structural value. Wood bracing must be added in accordance with truss manufacturers recommendation.

Material : 18 gauge.
Finish : Galvanized.

Tie Plates have many applications. Nail onto intersection walls, mend weak sections and use as splice plates. Holes for 8d nails. Other sizes available on special order.

Material : 20 ga.
Finish : Galvanized.

Available in 6, 8, and 10 bolt packages (3/4f diameter) for Bucket Hangers.
Material : A 325
Finish : Plain

Strap Ties are used for butt joints, ridge ties, post and beam connections. Can anchor studs to sill, rafters to plate and frame over girders. Convenient sizes with shear values charted.
Finish : Galvanized G60 or Black Copolymer Paint.

Although Tees & Ells provide stiffness to joints, they should not be used as moment-resisting connectors, nor as substitutions for X and K bracing.

Two pieces make one X-set or pair.
All joist bridging is formed from galvanized steel.

Suggested Concrete Design Procedures
Analysis by the portland Cement association for the development of connector design value in pullout strength in concrete cap.

All bolt holes 15/16" diameter.
Custom connectors are available
Where only two plates are used, "bo" might be assumed to be equivalent to one half a full circumference, or some other fraction thereof. The quantity bo should be established through experience and engineering judgment.
