Simpson Strong-Tie H2.5A Single-Sided Hurricane Tie - 18-Gauge Galvanised

Summary

The Simpson Strong-Tie H2.5A is a single-sided hurricane tie engineered to create strong rafter/truss-to-top-plate connections in timber-framed structures. Manufactured from 18-gauge galvanised steel, it forms part of a continuous load path to resist both uplift and lateral forces generated by high winds and seismic activity. Suitable for residential and light commercial wood-frame construction where wind uplift protection is required.

• Symmetrical profile - no separate left- and right-hand versions required
• 18-gauge galvanised steel for reliable corrosion resistance
• Engineered for simple, straightforward nail or screw installation
