Simpson Strong Tie HRS12 Heavy Strap Tie 1-3/8x12 Inch

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE HRS12 is a heavy-gauge strap tie designed to reinforce and connect structural timber members in residential and light commercial construction. Fabricated from 12-gauge galvanized steel, it delivers corrosion resistance alongside the load-bearing strength required for framing, deck construction, and heavy-duty structural attachments. The strap spans 12 inches in length and measures 1-3/8 inches in width, bridging the edge faces of two adjoining timber members. Licensed contractors, framers, and experienced carpenters are the primary installers. Each unit ships individually as part of a 25-piece package quantity.

The HRS12 is suited for wood-frame construction applications where a flat, surface-mounted strap connector is needed to transfer tension loads across a joint. Common installations include floor and roof framing ties, deck ledger connections, and post-to-beam attachments. The strap accommodates standard fastener patterns using fourteen 10d common nails or 9 by 1-1/2 inch Strong-Drive SD screws, giving the installer flexibility depending on job site preference and code requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed framers, carpenters, or contractors following applicable building codes, including IBC and IRC fastener schedule requirements. Verify the required fastener type and count with local jurisdiction requirements before installation. All fasteners should be driven flush without overdriving to maintain rated load capacity. Inspect the galvanized coating for damage before installation in exterior or high-moisture environments.
