Questions & Answers
Could they be installed on the inside of the top plate, in existing structure?
Asked by Ole September 16, 2020Hurricane ties are shown on the outside of the wall for clarity and assume a minimum overhang of 3 1/2". Installation on the inside of the wall is acceptable. (When installing hurricane ties on the inside of the wall special considerations must be taken to prevent condensation on the inside of the completed structure in cold climates.). For uplift continuous load path, install connectors in the same area (e.g., truss-to-plate connector and plate-to-stud connector) on the same side of the wall, unless detailed by designer. Thank you!
are there different lengths of hurricane clips?
Asked by barney September 1, 2020Yes, if you look up hurricane tie, twist strap, or twist clip, more options will come up.
Is the version of this tie for 45 degree angles instead of 90?
Asked by neod August 2, 2020The H2.5A is not offered with a 45 degree angle. Please contact the Engineering Support Department at your regional Simpson Strong-Tie branch to discuss possible options - 800/999-5099. Thank you!
I need these in reverse. I have some from long ago and need to find additional ones. Any ideas?
Asked by AC June 8, 2020The H2.5A is only offered in one version as it is symmetrical (top and bottom) and can be flipped to be installed on either side of the rafter. (The now obsolete H2.5 was offered in left and right versions.) Thank you!
Is it one sided? Is there a left version and a right version, it doesn't seem flipping it over wo...
Asked by fred September 27, 2019You can turn it left or right or up or down, depends on how the studs are situated but these may not be perfect fit all the time in the angle you want.
