Simpson Strong Tie RTB22 G90 Rigid Tie 2x Framing

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE RTB22 is a G90 galvanized rigid tie connector designed to reinforce wood-to-wood framing connections. It provides lateral and rotational resistance at structural joints, helping maintain alignment and load transfer in framed assemblies. The G90 zinc coating delivers corrosion resistance suited to standard interior and protected exterior framing environments. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors install this connector as part of code-compliant structural framing systems in both residential and light commercial construction.

The RTB22 is used in wood framing applications where rigid tie connectors are specified at post-to-beam, stud-to-plate, or similar dimensional lumber connections. It is sized for 2x dimensional lumber and suits typical platform and balloon framing scenarios. This connector is commonly installed during rough framing when structural continuity at key joints is required by the project drawings or local building code.

Key Features

• G90 galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for standard framing environments

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified framers or carpenters in accordance with local building codes and the manufacturer's load table recommendations. Fasten using the nail or screw pattern specified in the applicable code or engineering documents — do not substitute fastener type or count without engineering review. Ensure lumber is properly aligned and seated before driving fasteners. Follow applicable IBC or IRC framing provisions for connector placement and spacing.
