1. For concrete tie beam applications for 2 or 3 ply trusses,
increase the META load 35% and the HETA load 8%.
2. Divide total number of fasteners equally between both straps.
3. Minimum fc is 2,500 psi.
4. See instruction to the Designer page 15 for loads in
multiple directions.
5. Lateral loads are based on a minimum installation of 12 nails
and the strap wrapped over the heel.
6. Loads include a 33% or 60% load duration increase on the
fasteners for seismic or wind loading, but do not include a
33% stress increase on the steel capacity. Refer to page 13
for further explanation.
7. NAILS: 16d 0.162" dia. x 3 long,
10dx1 0.148" dia. x 1 long.
See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information.

FINISH: Galvanized.
Some products are available in stainless
steel or Z-MAX; see Corrosion-Resistance,
page 6-7.
