1.Loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading; no further increase allowed; reduced where other loads govern.
2.Twist straps do not have to be wrapped over the truss to achieve the allowable load.
3.Minimum edge distance for Titens is 1 .
4. See page 147 for Titen screw information.
5. Table allowable loads were determined using test ultimate/3 or nail calculation values.
6. NAILS: 10d 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 0.148" dia. x 1 long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information.

The Face Mount Girder Tiedown (FGTR) is a non-pitch
specific girder tiedown that can be used in new construction
or retrofit applications to tie down a girder to a concrete or
masonry wall. The product can be installed in a single
application or in pairs to achieve a higher uplift capacity.
See T-FGTRWOOD for wood installation.
MATERIAL: Straps-7 gauge; Plate-3 gauge
FINISH: Powder coated
INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
Product shall be installed to a minimum of a two-ply truss.
To achieve the loads listed in the table below, the product
shall be attached to a grouted and reinforced block wall or
a reinforced concrete wall designed by others to transfer
the high concentrated uplift loads to the foundation.
Screw holes are configured to allow for double installation
on a two-ply minimum truss.
Only 2 of the 4 holes provided on each strap are required
to be filled to achieve the catalog loads. The first Titen HD
screw "x5" (THD) shall be installed a minimum of 4"
from the top of the wall. Fasteners shall not be installed
in adjacent holes.
Can be installed on roof pitches up to 8:12 or on
a bottom chord designed to transfer the loads.
Minimum grout or concrete compressive
strength 2500 psi.
CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.
