Simpson H1.81Z Hurricane Tie For Engineered Lumber – Zmax Finish

Simpson Strong-Tie H1.81Z Hurricane Ties provide a positive connection between 1-3/4″ LVL rafters and the top wall plate to resist wind and seismic forces. The Strong-Tie H1.81Z Hurricane Tie features a G185 ZMAX galvanized finish for added corrosion resistance and requires the use of hot-dip galvanized fasteners which meet the specifications of ASTM A153.

Installation:

• Wider seat than the standard H1 Hurricane Tie to fit 1-3/4″ LVL rafters.
• Use all specified fasteners.
• Use hot-dip galvanized (HDG) nails with ZMAX and HDG connector products.
• H1.81Z can be installed with flanges facing inwards or outwards.
• Hurricane ties do not replace solid blocking.
• Engineered pre-cut holes fit popular 0.148″ x 1-1/2″ connector nails.

NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values
