Simpson RTF2Z 2x Rigid Tie Flat – ZMAX Finish

The Simpson Strong-Tie RTF’s connect two members in a “pass-through” application. The RTF2Z rigid tie corner is approved to be installed with the specified nails or with Strong-Drive SD connector screws. The Strong-Tie RTF2Z rigid tie flat 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:

• Use all specified fasteners.
• Install vertical members first, then attach horizontal members for easier alignment.
• Seat wood member in bracket with a C-clamp before securing to aid positioning and prevent skewing.
• Always follow manufacturer’s instructions when using power tools and building equipment.

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