Product Overview
H1.81Z Hurricane Tie
The new H1.81Z hurricane tie is designed for use with 1 3/4" LVL roof rafters to provide a stronger connection to the top plate of the wall. It's ideal for connections when there are higher-load demands on the structure, like a heavy snow load, and provides lateral resistance in a seismic event.
The 1 3/4"-wide H1.81Z connector is the first hurricane tie to be specifically sized for engineered wood. The H1.81Z installs with half the nails that are needed for two single-sided twist straps, like the H2.5A, and offers a higher lateral allowable load, making it a cost-effective and higher-performing solution to tie down an LVL roof.
Key Features:
Wider seat to fit 1 3/4" LVL rafters
Both side faces connect to the joist for better support
Can be installed on inside or outside of wall, or both sides
Connector embossments add stiffness in crucial areas for improved performance
Fits popular 0.148" x 1 1/2" connector nails
Material:
18 ga.
Finish:
ZMAX
Installation:
Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes
Ties can be installed with flanges facing inward or outward
Hurricane ties do not replace solid blocking
Installation on the outside or inside of wall is acceptable
