Product Overview
H2.5T Hurricane T-Shaped Strap
The H2.5T single-sided hurricane tie is designed to resist moderate loads at the rafter/truss-to-top-plate connection. As part of a continuous load path, the H2.5T resists both lateral and uplift loads. H2.5T ties are available in left- and right-hand models and can be installed in pairs.

- Hurricane ties can be installed with flanges facing inward or outward.
