Simpson Strong Tie HTT5 Heavy Tension Tie

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE HTT5 is a heavy tension tie engineered to resist uplift forces in structural framing applications. Formed from 11-gauge galvanized steel, this single-piece connector transfers tensile loads between post-pour concrete foundations and wood framing members. Its 4-ply formed seat eliminates the need for rivets, reducing potential failure points and maintaining dimensional stability under sustained loading. Licensed contractors and structural framers install this tie during or after concrete placement as part of holdown and shear-wall assemblies. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for both residential and light commercial construction environments.

The HTT5 is suited for new construction and retrofit applications where post-pour concrete anchorage to wood is required. Typical installations include holdown systems at shear wall boundaries, multi-story wood-frame buildings, and anywhere code-required uplift resistance must be achieved after the concrete pour is complete. The single-piece design simplifies placement and reduces field labor compared to multi-component alternatives.

Key Features

• Single-piece formed construction eliminates rivets and reduces assembly steps
• 4-ply formed seat maintains stability under tensile loading
• 11-gauge galvanized steel provides corrosion resistance for long service life
• Designed for post-pour concrete-to-wood connections in holdown applications
• Suitable for residential and commercial structural framing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structural connector for post-pour concrete-to-wood holdown assemblies in wood-frame construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed structural framers or general contractors following applicable building codes and engineer-of-record specifications. Power down any adjacent electrical systems and consult structural drawings before beginning connector placement. Anchor bolt placement must comply with project specifications and local building code requirements. Do not substitute fastener types or quantities from those specified on the approved construction documents.
