Simpson MSTA18Z 18 18 Gauge Medium Strap Tie

Simpson Strong-Tie MSTA straps are load rated and provide the correct thickness and number of fasteners the specifier is looking for compared with field fabricated straps. Install Strap Ties where top or bottom plates are cut, at wall intersections, and as ridge ties. Reduce the allowable load based on the size and quantity of fasteners used. The Strong-Tie MSTA18Z strap tie features a G185 ZMAX galvanized finish for added corrosion resistance and requires the use of hot-dip galvanized fasteners which meet the specifications of ASTM A153.
