Simpson Strong-Tie H10AZ - 18-Gauge ZMAX Galvanized Hurricane Tie
Product Details
The H10A series holds the rafter or truss on both sides for high uplift applications with embossments that add stiffness in crucial areas for improved performance. These U-shaped hurricane ties provide faster installation than using two single-sided ties. H10A models come with optional fastener holes to connect roof blocking to the top plate. Slots allow field bending up to a maximum pitch of 6:12 to accommodate angled blocking.
Key Features
- Forms part of a continuous load path to resist wind and seismic forces
- The H10A-2 model holds a double-ply member and is approved for installation with the Strong-Drive SD Connector screw
- The H10AR model is designed for rough lumber sizes
Material
Finish
- Galvanized (G90). Selected products available in stainless steel or ZMAX coating. See Corrosion Information.
Installation
- Use all specified fasteners
- 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. This can force the truss plate off of the truss and compromise truss performance.
- H10A optional nailing to connect shear blocking use 0.131" x 2-1/2" nails.
- Slots allow maximum field bending up to a pitch of 6:12; use H10A sloped loads for field-bent installation.
