HRS/ST/PS/HST/HTP/LSTA/LSTI/MST/MSTA/MSTC/MSTI Strap Ties
Straps are designed to transfer tension loads in a wide variety of applications.
HRS—A 12 gauge strap with a nailing pattern designed for installation on the
edge of 2x members. The HRS416Z installs with Simpson Strong-Tie ® Strong-Drive ®
SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws.
LSTA and MSTA—Designed for use on the edge of 2x members, with a nailing
pattern that reduces the potential for splitting.
LSTI—Light straps that are suitable where pneumatic-nailing is necessary
through diaphragm decking and wood chord open web trusses.
MST—Splitting may be a problem with installations on lumber smaller than 3 1⁄2";
either fill every nail hole with 10dx1 1⁄2" nails or fill every-other hole with 16d common
nails. Reduce the allowable load based upon the size and quantity of fasteners used.
MSTC—High Capacity strap which utilizes a staggered nail pattern to help minimize
wood splitting. Nail slots have been countersunk to provide a lower nail head profile.

1.PS strap design loads must be determined
by the Designer for each installation. Bolts
are installed both perpendicular and parallel to-grain. Hole diameter in the part may be
oversized to accommodate the HDG.
Designer must determine if the oversize
creates an unacceptable installation.
2.For allowable tension loads, see page 230.

1.Loads include a 60% load duration increase on the fasteners for wind or earthquake loading.
210dx1 1⁄2" nails may be substituted where 16d sinkers or 10d are specified at 100% of the table loads
except where straps are installed over sheathing.
3. 10d commons may be substituted where 16d sinkers are specified at 100% of table loads.
4.16d sinkers (0.148" dia. x 3 1⁄4" long) or 10d commons may be substituted where 16d commons are
specified at 0.84 of the table loads.
5.Use half of the nails in each member being connected to achieve the listed loads.
6.Tension loads apply for uplift when installed vertically.
7.NAILS: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3 1⁄2" long, 16d Sinker = 0.148" dia. x 3 1⁄4" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long.

1.Loads include a 60% load duration increase on the fasteners for wind or earthquake loading.
2.Install bolts or nails as specified by Designer. Bolt and nail values may not be combined.
3.Allowable bolt loads are based on parallel-to-grain loading and these minimum member
thicknesses: MST–2 1⁄2"; HST2 and HST5–4"; HST3 and HST6–4 1⁄2".
4.Use half of the required nails in each member being connected to achieve the listed loads.
5.When installing strap over wood structural panel sheathing, use 2 1⁄2" long nail minimum.
6.Tension loads apply for uplift as well when installed vertically.
7.NAILS: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3 1⁄2" long, 16d Sinker = 0.148" dia. x 3 1⁄4" long,
1
⁄2 = 0.148" dia. x 1 1⁄2" long. See pages 22-23 for other nail sizes and information.
