Simpson Strong-Tie H1A Hurricane Tie, 5-1/4 in L, 5-1/4 in W, Steel, Galvanized

The H1A provides a connection between the truss or rafter and the wall of the structure that helps resist wind and seismic forces. The H1A is designed for nominal 2X lumber. These U-shaped hurricane ties provide faster installation than using two single-sided ties. The embossments add stiffness in crucial areas for improved performance. Features: - Holds the rafter or truss on both sides for high-lateral load resistance - Can be installed on inside or outside of wall or both sides - Can be installed with flanges facing either inward or outward - Provides faster installation than using two single-sided ties - Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance - Hurricane ties do not replace solid blocking - When installing ties on plated trusses (on the side opposite the truss plate) do not fasten through the truss plate from behind
