Simpson Strong Tie LSTA12 G90 Strap Tie 12 Inches

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE LSTA12 is a G90 galvanized strap tie designed for structural wood connections in light-frame construction. It fits 1-1/2 inch nominal lumber members, including standard 2x lumber, and provides reliable tensile reinforcement at joints, splices, and locations where plates or soles are cut. The strap measures 12 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches in width, and the G90 galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for protected interior and covered applications. Installation requires twelve 10d common nails. This part is handled by framers, structural carpenters, and general contractors on both residential and light commercial framing projects.

The LSTA12 is used in wood-frame structural assemblies where continuity across a joint or splice must be maintained. Common applications include top plate repairs, sole plate splices, and general strap tie requirements specified in framing plans or structural details. Its profile is compatible with standard 2x lumber dimensions, allowing it to sit flush against the member face without interfering with adjacent framing components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified framers or carpenters following applicable building code requirements, including those referenced in the IRC or IBC for structural connectors. Fasten with the specified nail count and nail type to achieve the rated load capacity — substituting nail size or reducing nail count will compromise structural performance. Verify that the lumber member thickness and width are compatible before fastening. Do not install on members that are wet, treated with incompatible chemicals, or that have not been approved for structural use at that location.
