Product Overview
MTWS48-8 Mass Timber Washer Strap
Product Details
Simpson Strong-Tie tested and load-rated tension straps and fasteners are designed to minimize cost and maximize speed and precision — while providing the strength, versatility and reliability you depend on. The MTWS48 strap utilizes MTW45-8 washers and Strong-Drive® SDCF Timber-CF (SDCF) fully-threaded countersunk-head screws. The combination provides a tension strap with high strength and stiffness that can be used in a variety of CLT diaphragm and wall applications. The MTWS48 is a 7-gauge high-capacity strap specifically designed to carry tension across a CLT floor or wall panel joint. The MTWS48 can also be used to attach CLT panels to steel attachment points when paired with a welded connection (designed by others).
Key Features
High capacity reduces the need for expensive shop-fabricated steel plates
Use of inclined SDCF screws and MTW45-8 washers reduces the number of fasteners needed to achieve the load
Strap can be used for either CLT panel-to-panel connection or CLT panel-to-steel connection
Material: 7 gauge (ASTM A653 Grade 33)
Finish: Galvanized
