Simpson StrongTie's Hurricane Tie installs easily using 8d common nails or approved StrongDrive connector screws, creating a reliable joint under load and delivering moderate uplift capacity across assemblies. The 18ga. thickness resists deformation and helps prevent nail pullthrough in treatedwood or exterior installations. By reinforcing critical rafterplate junctions, this tie enhances structural resilience in highwind and seismic zones while maintaining a minimalist profile for clean framing finishes
