Product Description
Simpson Strong-Tie straps and plates join and reinforce joints with simple, versatile solutions for a wide range of connections. Available in many lengths, widths and thicknesses, straps can be used on the wide or narrow face of lumber for light repairs or heavy-duty projects. Many straps are designed to be used back-to-back on a piece of lumber without fastener interference. CMST coiled straps are designed and packaged to be cut to length on the job site.

Installation
- Installation Guide
- Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
- Wood shrinkage after strap installation across horizontal wood members may cause strap to buckle outward.
- Refer to the applicable code for minimum nail penetration and minimum wood edge and end distances.
- The table shows the maximum allowable loads and the nails required to attain them. Fewer nails may be used; reduce the allowable load as shown in the Straps and Ties General Notes.
- For lap splice and alternative nailing information, see tables below.
- The cut length of the strap shall be equal to twice the “End Length” noted in the table plus the clear span dimension.
- Use only every other round hole if the wood tends to split.
- Fill round and triangle holes for loads shown. If wood tends to split, fill only round hole and double the end length listed for full load.
Lap Splicing
- Lap splicing of coiled straps can be used to extend standard strap lengths for designing continuous drag elements and diaphragm chord members. The Strap Lap Splices table provides the minimum splice length (Lsp) and fasteners, within the splice length, to achieve the highest allowable capacity of the strap.
- The Allowable Loads for Alternative Nailing table provides information for coiled straps when installed with different nailing schedules. The highest allowable load given for each model is limited by the steel capacity.
- The Engineer/Designer of Record must evaluate and determine the adequacy of the coiled strap’s lap splice and alternative nailing applications to meet their design loads.
