Asked by Novice February 1, 2021RTR could be used for strapping connections but we do not load rate RTR connectors so it is difficult to say how many are required for this installation. This decision should be made by a qualified designer or installer.

can you use vertically?
Asked by ja October 12, 2020There are no restrictions against installing the RTR vertically. Please note this product is not load rated; it would be up to the Designer to evaluate the suitability of the connector for the specific application. Thank you!

Asked by David July 29, 2020The RTR is not a tested/load rated product. It would be up to the Designer/Engineer of Record to specify the appropriate connector based on framing layout, demand loads, local building codes, etc. Thank you!

Asked by JTorrens January 6, 2020We did not use ours for an overhead placement. We had to build a new porch and platform and used it for the uprights that held the railing. They are strong, and were perfect for what we needed. Not sure about overhead storage.

Asked by TimC October 5, 2019The Simpson site shows plans using the Simpson Strong-Tie® 20-gauge Rigid Tie™ RTR connectors under the page //blog.strongtie.com/diy-suspended-garage-storage-shelves/. I the top brackets are different than this one. they are a corner bracket.
probably a stupid question.......
Asked by TerraBella December 5, 2018I used them on a bottom rail of my greenhouse knee wall. I used landscape timbers for the post and the flat side on those timbers is what I nailed to. So, I do believe this would work for what you want them to do. They don't stick out at the edges of the 2x4.
Can this be used for regular interior wall framing? DIYers, just wanting to insure strength and alignment (90° studs).
Asked by Jessjess October 7, 2018I don't see why not. Beats the heck out of toe-nailing!
Would I use this to help me with some wall blocking?
Asked by MoreInches August 12, 2018I am not clear what type of "wall blocking" is being installed, but the RTR is not a load rated part and would not be recommended for structural applications (typically used in miscellaneous/DIY type projects). Thank you!
