    Can I use stainless steel bolts in place of stainless steel screws with these hurricane ties? I plan to install them in pairs such that a set of bolts would run through the horizontal beam and be fastened with stainless steel nuts.

    Answer This Question

    Hello Anon, I am Colin with Simpson Strong-Tie. The H2.5ASS Stainless Steel hurricane ties must be installed with the specified fasteners or approved Strong Drive #9 stainless steel connector screws listed on strongtie.com or in the Wood Construction Connectors Catalog C-C-2021. Using other types of fasteners that have not been tested with the hurricane ties results in no allowable load values. If you need more information or have additional questions, please contact the Simpson Strong-Tie Customer Service team at 800-999-5099. We look forward to hearing from you.​​

          What is the difference in the H2.5A and the H2.5AZ
          ByJun 1, 2019
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          H2.5A: Standard G90 Zinc Galvanized Coating contains 0.90 oz. of zinc per square foot of surface area (total both sides). This coating provides a low level of corrosion resistance and should be used in dry environments. Level of Corrosion Resistance: Low H2.5AZ: ZMax® Coating is a thicker coating (galvanized per ASTM A653 with a G185 coating) than the standard hot-dip galvanized coating (galvanized per ASTM A653 with a G90 coating). This thicker coating is available on select Simpson Strong-Tie connectors. Due to this increased galvanized thickness these connectors would be expected to have a longer service life than standard galvanized connectors. Level of Corrosion Resistance: Medium

            Does the H2.5ASS clips require a left and right if used in pairs?
            ByNov 29, 2017
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            There is no left and right version of the H2.5ASS hurricane tie. It can be installed on either side of the rafter/truss (or both, as specified by the designer). On one side of the rafter/truss the upper flange of the H2.5A will extend away from the plates and on the other side the upper flange will extend towards (over) the plates.

              Is there a left and right for Mod.# H2.5ASS hurricane clip? If so how do I specify on order?

              I think you just need to order a few and see how they fit. If You are ever in or around DI al i would be glad to lend you a few. they are all the same no left or right

              By|May 2, 2023

                Charlie - No, there is not a left and right version of the H2.5ASS. The H2.5A (all finishes) can be installed on either side of the rafter/truss (or both, as specified by the designer). On one side of the rafter/truss the upper flange of the H2.5A will extend away from the plates and on the other side the upper flange will extend towards (over) the plates. The middle drawing at the following link provides an example of this configuration: http://www.strongtie.com/products/connectors/h.asp#gallery3. Thank you!

                  The product is fine. The value is not. Way overpriced...
                  The product is fine. The value is not. Way overpriced for this thin small piece of stainless steel. Not sure if it's depots fault as the pricing is inline with other vendors. Simpson thinks it's stainless is gold.

                  Good product, great price
                  These work well, they are short but strong and stainless, working for me so far, got about 110 left to install.
