Product Details

The H8 single-sided hurricane tie is designed to resist moderate loads at the top of a wall connection. Provides a connection as part of a continuous load path to resist wind and seismic forces. The H8 is versatile and has been tested for connecting I-joist rafters to double-top-plates as well as studs to sill plates.

Key Features

  • Great for connecting 2X deck joists on top of a perpendicular beam
  • Install in pairs on either side of the rafter/truss/joist to provide resistance to uplift and lateral forces
  • Use also for a variety of connections where one member crosses another
  • ZMAX® galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications
  • Approved for installation with load-rated Strong-Drive® SD connector screws
  • Can be installed with flanges facing either inward or outward
  • Hurricane ties do not replace solid blocking
  • When installing ties on plated trusses (on the side opposite the truss plate) do not fasten through the truss plate from behind
