Description

Simpson Strong-Tie’s HDU predeflected holdown is engineered for superior performance and reliability in wood frame construction. Constructed from robust 14-gauge steel and finished with a galvanized coating for enhanced corrosion resistance, this holdown minimizes deflection, ensuring structural integrity over time. The design incorporates Strong-Drive® SDS screws, which not only simplify installation but also help to mitigate fastener slip while providing a larger net section area of the post, in comparison to traditional bolts. Supplied with the holdown, these screws eliminate the need for stud bolts to be countersunk at openings, making it an efficient choice for builders concerned about long-term stability and ease of use.
