Description

The MSTA 36-inch strap tie from Simpson Strong-Tie is built to provide robust and reliable connections in various construction applications, particularly for floor-to-floor clear spans. Made from durable 16-gauge steel, this strap tie is engineered for use on the edges of 2x members, offering superior load rating capabilities designed to withstand increased wind and seismic forces. Featuring ZMAX® galvanization, this product ensures enhanced corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both exterior and treated-wood applications, thereby extending its lifespan in challenging environments. Its design takes into account the necessary thickness and number of fasteners, ensuring a reliable alternative to field-fabricated straps, which may not meet stringent load requirements.
