Simpson Strong Tie H2.5A Hurricane Tie 40/138/40mm

The Hurricane Tie H2.5A can be used as either left or right side ties in the middle of the run. This tie is used for general tie purposes, strongback attachments, and as an all-purpose tie where one-member crosses another. The H2.5A Hurricane Tie provides a positive connection between the truss/rafter and the wall of the structure. They are designed to help counter the effect of high winds and seismic events on a structure. They provide resistance to uplift and lateral forces. The hurricane ties are of standard zinc galvanisation providing a low level of corrosion resistance and should be used in dry environments. When installing ties on plated trusses (on the side opposite the truss plate) do not fasten through the truss plate from behind. This can force the truss plate off of the truss and compromise truss performance.

• Galvanised finish ensures low level of corrosion resistance
• Sold in pairs of right and left
• Approved for use in ACQ lumber
• Hurricane ties do not replace solid blocking
