Typical CS Installation as a Floor-to-Floor Tie (CMST requires minimum 2-2x studs) Nails not required in clear span CS16 Hole Pattern (all other CS straps similar) CMST14 Hole Pattern (CMST12 similar) CMSTC16 Hole Pattern No. of Nails Used Allowable Load = x Table Load No. of Nails in Table Gauge stamped on part for easy identification CMSTC provides nail slots for easy installation and coined edges for safe handling; it can be cut to length. CS are continuous utility straps which can be cut to length on the job site. Packaged in lightweight (about 40 pounds) cartons. FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in Z-MAX; see Corrosion-Resistance, page 6-7. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Wood shrinkage after strap installation across horizontal wood members may cause strap to buckle outward. Refer to the applicable code for minimum nail penetration and minimum wood edge and end distances. The table shows the maximum allowable loads and the nails required to obtain them. Fewer nails may be used; reduce the allowable load as shown in footnote #3. CMST only-Use every other round hole if the wood tends to split. Use round and triangle holes for comparable MST loads, providing wood does not tend to split. For lap slice and alternate nailing information, request Technical Bulletin T-CMST.

(Half of the nails in each member being connected) 56 Nails (Table) Available with additional corrosion protection. Check with factory. Twist straps provide a tension connection between two wood members. An equal number of right and left hand units are supplied in each carton. MATERIAL: 16 gauge. FINISH: Galvanized. See Corrosion-Resistance, page 6-7. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. TS should be installed in pairs to reduce eccentricity.
