Simpson Hurricane Ties
1 9/16" x 5 7/16" - 100/box
1¼" x 8" - 100/box
The Hurricane Tie series features various configurations of wind and seismic ties for trusses and rafters.
Made with 18 gauge steel. Loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern.
Allowable loads are for one anchor.
A minimum rafter thickness of 2½" must be used when framing anchors are installed on each side of the joist and on the same side of the plate.
Allowable uplift load for stud to bottom plate installation is 400 lbs (H2.5); and 310 lbs (H8).
Allowable loads in the F1 direction are not intended to replace diaphragm boundary members or prevent cross grain bending of the truss or rafter members.
Additional shear transfer elements shall be considered where there may be effects of cross grain bending or tension.
Hurricane Ties are shown installed on the outside of the wall for clarity.
Installation on the inside of the wall is acceptable. For a Continuous Load Path, connections must be on same side of the wall.
