SIMPSON HTS16 14GA HEAVY | SIM-HTS16

Simpson Strong-Tie's Heavy Twist Strap is part of a trusted line of tension ties designed to transfer in-plane lateral loads across wood structural elements. The pre-punched nail holes allow for fast, consistent installation using common 16d nails or SD screws. With its heavy-duty 14-gauge steel construction, the HTS16 provides the strength needed for demanding connections in wood framing, including truss anchorage and diaphragm reinforcement. Whether installed vertically or horizontally, this strap helps builders maintain code compliance while simplifying installation at key structural junctions. Its dimensions and load-tested performance make it a go-to solution for framers, engineers, and inspectors alike.

• Provides a tension connection between two members
• Resists heavy uplift loads at the rafter or heel of a truss
• Has a small bend section to reduce interference at the transition points between the two members
• Straps do not need to be wrapped over the truss to achieve the allowable load
