Metal Strap Hurricane Tie Galvanized 18-Gauge H1

Hurricane ties are crafted to withstand strong winds and seismic activity by securely connecting trusses or rafters to the top of the wall of a structure. The H1 model is suitable for nominal 2x lumber. This U-shaped hurricane tie offers quicker installation compared to using two single-sided ties. The embossments enhance stiffness in key areas for better performance.
