Product Overview
HM9KT Hurricane Tie Kit (20 Pack w/Screws)
Kit Contains: 20-HM9; 80-SDS1/4x1-1/2 screws and 100-TTN25214H (Titen masonary screws).
The HM9 holds the rafter or truss on both sides for higher uplift applications with concrete or masonry walls. The optional nailing connects roof blocking to the top plate with slots that allow field bending up to a maximum pitch of 6:12 to accommodate angled blocking. These U-shaped hurricane ties provide faster installation than using two single-sided straps.
