Simpson Strong-Tie H2A Series H2AZ Hurricane Tie, 10.438 in L, 1.531 in W, Steel, Galvanized

The H2A single-sided hurricane tie makes a direct connection between the rafter or truss, the top-plates and the wall studs. A value added solution for high-wind applications, it is designed to resist uplift and lateral loads. By capturing all three framing members, the H2A eliminates the need for a separate top-plate-to-stud connection.

Made of steel with a galvanized finish, measuring 1.531 in deep, with material gauge 18 ga.
