Simpson HTT4 Tension Tie

The Simpson HTT4 Tension Tie is a heavy-duty connector designed for resisting tension loads in wood-to-concrete connections. Here are the key features and details:

1. Purpose: It offers a solution for resisting tension loads fastened with nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws.
2. Design: The HTT4 features an optimized nailing pattern, resulting in better performance and less deflection compared to previous models.
3. Material: Made of galvanized steel (G90 finish), with an option for hot-dip galvanized (HDG) coating available for increased corrosion resistance.
4. Installation: Can be used in both new construction and retrofit projects. It's designed for post-pour installations.
5. Compatibility: Suitable for use with various wood members and can be installed over wood structural panel sheathing with appropriate fastener length.
6. Load capacity: Offers high tensile strength, making it suitable for demanding structural applications.
7. Code compliance: Designed to meet rigorous building code standards.
8. No washers required: The HTT4's design eliminates the need for additional washers.
9. Fasteners: Typically installed using 0.162" x 2 1/2" nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws.
10. Applications: Commonly used in holdown situations, such as shear wall connections or other areas requiring strong tension resistance.
