Simpson Strong-Tie S/H1A Light Gauge Steel Hurricane Tie
The versatile S/H1 and S/H1A are designed to resist seismic and wind forces in cold-formed steel applications. These double-sided hurricane ties hold the rafter or truss for high uplift load resistance. The S/H1 is made for typical C-stud rafters or trusses and can be installed with flanges facing inward or outward, while the S/H1A is ideal for several proprietary truss chords. Both models feature embossments that add stiffness in crucial areas for improved performance.
Key Features
- Provide faster installation than using two single-sided straps
- Provide a connection between the truss or rafter and the wall of the structure that helps resist wind and seismic forces
- Use also for a variety of general connections where one member crosses another
