Simpson Strong Tie TP37 Tie Plate 3x7 in G90 Galvanized

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE TP37 is a structural tie plate designed to reinforce and anchor timber joints in wood-frame construction. Measuring 3 inches by 7 inches, this flat connector distributes load across the joint and adds shear and tensile strength to framing assemblies. The G90 galvanized finish provides a zinc coating that resists corrosion in exposed or semi-exposed environments. This tie plate is typically installed by framers, general contractors, and rough carpenters during structural framing work on residential and light commercial projects. It ships in a package quantity of 100 units.

The TP37 tie plate is suited for use in wood-frame wall, floor, and roof assemblies where positive connection between framing members is required. It is commonly applied at spliced top plates, rafter ties, and dimensional lumber joints. The compact 3 by 7 inch footprint fits standard framing bays without modification. Both residential and light commercial framing applications are within the intended scope of this connector.
