TBD Truss Brace

Everything about the new TBD truss brace is designed to make diagonal truss bracing easier. It travels in a box like a coiled strap and is formed into shape as it is pulled from the carton, making it rigid and easy to position across trusses. Once fastened into place, the braces lay flat so that they remain in place as the roof is sheathed, eliminating the need to remove bracing. And since the braces stay in place, trusses maintain better alignment and are safer for sheathing crews to work on.

DETAL Embedded Truss Anchor

The new DETAL high-capacity embedded truss anchor attaches single-ply roof trusses to concrete and masonry walls. The DETAL20 combines dual embedded anchors with a structural moisture-barrier seat that is partially embedded in the concrete or grout. This plate serves to protect the truss and also provides increased lateral and uplift capacity.

DTT2 Deck Tension Tie

The DTT2 tension tie is ideal as a deck-railing post connector as well as a holdown in site-built shearwalls. Now two more options are available to further increase applications for this versatile product:

DTT2SS Stainless-Steel Tension Tie for Decks
The new DTT2SS is made from stainless steel for applications in higher-exposure environments.

DTT2Z-SDS2.5 for Double-Stud Applications in Shearwalls
Longer screws allow the DTT2Z to achieve a load capacity in excess of 2100 lbs. when used as a holdown on double studs in a shearwall application.

HTT4 & HTT5 Tension Ties

The LTT/MTT/HTT series of tension ties offers tension-resisting solutions that install with nails. These new additions to the HTT line feature an optimized nailing pattern which results in better performance with less deflection. Designed to meet new code standards, the HTT4 and HTT5 offer higher loads than their predecessors the HTT16 and HTT22. For an added benefit, the HTT5 installs with 6 fewer nails than the HTT22.

DSC2 Drag Strut Connector

The new DSC2 is a medium-duty drag strut connector designed for easy installation and versatility. It requires fewer fasteners than the DSC4, for quicker installation using SDS screws and is shorter to fit more framing configurations.

FWANZ Foundation Wall Angle

The new FWANZ foundation angle performs the same function as the original FWAZ: anchoring foundation and basement walls to the floor system to resist lateral loads due to soil pressure. Whereas the FWAZ utilizes the Titen HD screw anchor for anchorage, the new FWANZ fastens to the sill plate with nails and utilizes independent anchorage (by Designer) into the wall. This connection is called out in both the International Building Code® (IBC) Section 1610.1 and International Residential Code® Section R404.

SB Anchor Bolts

The geometry of the SB anchor bolt is the latest development in high capacity anchors. The smooth transition angle of the bolt positions the head of the anchor in an optimum position in the concrete stem wall without creating excessive horizontal forces. This optimizes the performance of both the anchor and the footing, reducing the need for larger footings. The SB7/8x24 is designed to maximize performance with minimum embedment. The SB1x30 provides a pre-engineered solution for some of Simpson’s larger holdowns which exceed the capacity of SSTB anchor bolts.

General Purpose Angles & Straps

Simpson Strong-Tie introduces three new products to handle those applications where you need a versatile general-purpose connector. The MLZ angles are 4" and 6" long angles that fasten with Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Drive® screws (SDS) for a solid connection. The HTP37Z is a 3"x7" strap that installs with 10dx1 1/2" nails and the HRS416Z is a heavy-duty 4"x16" strap that installs with SDS screws for added strength.

HD19 Holdown

The new HD19 sits at the top of the holdown family when it comes to load values. With a maximum load of over 19,000 lbs. this high-capacity bolted holdown is ideal for applications that exceed the capacity of our other holdowns such as the HDU series. They are self-jigging on the stud, ensuring that the code-required seven-bolt-minimum end distance is maintained..

CBSQ86 and CBSQ88 Column Bases

The CBSQ86 and 88 column bases extend the CBSQ product line to accommodate 6x8 and 8x8 columns. They provide a 1" standoff to meet code requirements and like the rest of the series they use 2" long SDS screws. When compared to bolts, the SDS screws allow for faster installation, reduced reveal and high capacity. Furthermore they provide a greater net section area of the column because no material is removed, as it is with bolts.

SPHR Stud Plate Tie

The new SPHR series connectors are designed to fit over typical wall assemblies using nominal 1/2" sheathing, enabling easy installation and inspection. Independent third-party testing shows no reduction in load with the wider design. As a result of the new design, there is no longer a risk of damaging the connector with sheathing nails because installation occurs after the sheathing is already in place.

MASA Mudsill Anchors

MAS mudsill anchors have always been a time-saving alternative to mudsill anchor bolts, and now the new and improved design of the MASA provides for one-to-one replacement of 1/2" and 5/8" anchor bolts. Additional fasteners and the reinforcement of key sections of the anchor have improved performance so that the load capacity of the MASA mudsill anchor either meets or exceeds that of other cast-in-place anchors. Since the MASA can be installed as wide as 6' on center, the same load capacity can be achieved with fewer mudsill anchors.
