Simpson Strong Tie HSS2-SDS1.5 Stud Shoe with Sds Screws

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE HSS2-SDS1.5 is a stud shoe designed to protect and reinforce wood studs where pipes or other penetrations pass through framing members. The notched body and flared flanges work together to transfer tension and compression loads around the penetration, maintaining the structural integrity of the stud. The flanges can be bent during installation to fit non-standard framing angles, then returned to their original position before fastening. Each unit ships with 12 SDS screws included. This product is installed by framing contractors, plumbers, and general contractors during rough-in and remodeling work.

The HSS2-SDS1.5 is suited for residential and light commercial wood-frame construction where studs have been notched or bored for pipe runs. It fits over pipes with an outside diameter of up to 2-3/8 inches, making it compatible with common plumbing supply and drain pipe sizes encountered in wall framing. The product is typically applied in load-bearing and non-load-bearing stud walls during new construction or remodel projects where code compliance for notched or cut studs is required.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style stud reinforcement shoe for wood-frame construction applications where studs are notched or bored for pipe penetrations up to 2-3/8 inches outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, framing contractors, or general contractors in accordance with applicable building codes, including IRC and IBC requirements for notched or bored studs. Power down or depressurize any lines in the wall before beginning work on the framing. Slide the stud shoe over the pipe and onto the notched stud, bend flanges as needed to achieve proper seating, then fasten using the included SDS screws. Do not over-drive screws, as this can compromise flange contact with the stud face.
