Simpson Strong-Tie H1AZ - 18-Gauge ZMAX Galvanized Hurricane Tie
Product Details
The H1 and H1.81Z provide a connection between the truss or rafter and the wall of the structure that helps resist wind and seismic forces. The H1.81Z hurricane tie is designed specifically for use with 1 3/4" LVL roof rafters and the H1 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.
Key Features
- Holds the rafter or truss on both sides for high lateral load resistance
- Used for a variety of connections where one member crosses another
- Can be installed on inside or outside of wall or both sides
- Can be installed with flanges facing either inward or outward
Material
Finish
- Galvanized (G90) 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.
