The MSTD provides continuity of load without the need to splice the CMSTC16 alongside the HTT which requires additional blocking. Recognized per ICC ES AC308 for post-installed rebar development and splice length design provisions. The MSTD marriage strap provides an overlapping, in-line splice between an HTT tension tie and a CMSTC16 coiled strap for panelized-roof applications where the roof member adjacent to the wall is too short to develop the required load into the roof diaphragm. Recognized per ICC ES AC308 for post-installed rebar development and splice length design provisions. The Engineer/Designer of Record must evaluate and determine the adequacy of the coiled straps lap splice and alternative nailing applications to meet their design loads.Simpson Strong-Tie MSTD4 - Splice Strap For Cmstc16 To Htt4 The highest allowable load given for each model is limited by the steel capacity. The allowable loads table provides allowable loads for coiled straps when installed with different nailing schedules. The Strap Lap Splices table below provides the minimum splice length (Lsp) and fasteners, within the splice length, to achieve the highest allowable capacity of the strap. Lap splicing of coiled straps can be used to extend standard CMST12, CMST14 and CMSTC16 strap lengths longer than 40', 52 1/2' and 54' respectively, for designing continuous drag elements and diaphragm chord members. Use round and triangle holes for comparable MST loads, providing wood does not tend to split. Anchor bolts are located a minimum of 15 anchor diameters from the edge of the concrete perpendicular to the length of the wood sill plate.

The cut length of the strap shall be equal to twice the ∾nd Length noted in the table plus the clear span dimension.ĬMST only use every other round hole if the wood tends to split. Fewer nails may be used reduce the allowable load as shown in the General Notes for Straps and Ties.įor lap splice and alternate nailing information, see tables below. A versatile and easy-to-use tie plate for splicing and miscellaneous wood-to-wood connections. The table shows the maximum allowable loads and the nails required to obtain them. Simpson Strong-Tie straps and plates join and. For more than 60 years, Simpson Strong-Tie has focused on creating structural products that help people build safer and. Refer to the applicable code for minimum nail penetration and minimum wood edge and end distances. Wood shrinkage after strap installation across horizontal wood members may cause strap to buckle outward.

Our Outdoor Accents® ornamental connectors, made of G185 ZMAX® galvanized steel and featuring a black powder-coat finish, provide corrosion protection and stylistic flair to outdoor structures such as pergolas, pavilions, arbors, gazebos and patio covers.

Decorative hardware brings design appeal and strength to any living space.Gauge stamped on part for easy identification Packaged in lightweight (about 40 lb.) cartons. The splice condition load is 6,750 lbs per beam side for LCC must be evenly loaded. CS are continuous utility straps which can be cut to length on the jobsite. Side plates capture the beam enabling a safer installation process than standard cap plates. CMSTC provides coined nail slots for lower profile when installed with 0.148' x 3 1/4' sinkers it can be cut to length.
