Hurricane Tie, 8-nail

Discover the H10a Hurricane Tie, 8‑Nail, a robust connector engineered to protect roofs from uplift and lateral forces caused by severe wind and seismic activity. This galvanized steel tie links two rafters to the top plate, delivering reliable reinforcement for residential and commercial structures. Designed for straightforward installation, the tie uses eight 8‑d × 1‑½″ nails on each side to secure a tight, durable bond.

Benefits: The tie provides continuous resistance to uplift, helping the roof system stay securely attached during high‑velocity storms. By distributing lateral loads across the top plate, it reduces stress on individual framing members, extending the life of the building envelope. Homeowners in windy regions such as Wilmington can rely on this connector to meet local building code requirements and improve overall safety.

• Galvanized Steel Construction: Provides superior corrosion resistance, ensuring long‑term performance in humid or coastal environments.
• Eight‑Nail Installation Pattern: Eight 8‑d × 1‑½″ nails per side create a strong mechanical lock that meets engineering standards for wind and seismic loads.
• Dual‑Rafter Connection: Links two adjacent rafters directly to the top plate, distributing forces evenly across the roof framing.
• H10a Rating: Certified to resist uplift and lateral forces specified for hurricane‑prone zones, helping structures comply with local building codes.
• Easy Field Installation: Pre‑drilled holes and clear nail spacing enable quick mounting by contractors or DIY builders without special tools.
