Simpson Strong-Tie DTT2ZClick To Copy Deck Tension Tie ZMax 7.03" H X 3.25" W 14 Ga. Steel

DTT tension ties are safe, cost-effective connectors designed to meet or exceed code requirements for deck construction. These versatile DTT connectors are also load-rated as a hold down for light-duty shear walls and braced-wall panel applications. The DTT2 can be used to satisfy the IRC provision for a 1500 lbs. lateral load connection at two locations per deck. Additionally, the DTT2 has been tested and evaluated in deck guardrail post applications to resist the code-specified lateral forces at the top of railing assemblies. The DTT2 is also available with longer 2-1/2 inch strong-drive SDS heavy-duty connector screws (model DTT2Z-SDS2.5) to achieve higher loads when needed. The DTT2 fastens easily to the wide face of a single or double 2x using Simpson Strong-Tie strong-drive SDS heavy-duty Connector screws (included) and accepts a 1/2 inch diameter machine bolt or anchor bolt.
