The Simpson Strong-Tie LSTA24 is a 20 gauge steel strap tie connector designed to transfer tension loads in framing connections. This galvanized strap reinforces structural joints at wall intersections, ridge ties, and where plates or soles are cut on 1-1/2" lumber members.
Strap tie connectors solve framing challenges by providing reinforcement at connection points that would otherwise be weakened by cutting or modification. The galvanized finish helps protect against corrosion for durable performance.
Features and Benefits
