Kick off the New Year with new, time-saving products

INTRODUCING TWO NEW CONNECTOR PRODUCTS

Our new LSSR slopeable and skewable rafter hanger is the first product of its kind designed to allow installation after rafter systems have been assembled in place. Retrofit installation helps contractors accelerate job sequencing for improved productivity.

In February, we will introduce our CSHP high-performance coiled strap, featuring an embossment that makes it easy to install with a pneumatic framing nailer. This new tested embossment provides improved performance — resulting in fewer nails and shorter straps. Attend our upcoming webinar on February 12 to learn more about the CSHP high-performance coiled strap.

SOFTWARE UPDATE: QUICKLY FIND STRUCTURAL FASTENERS
The Screw Substitution Calculator (SSC) is a quick, easy-to-use tool for providing Simpson Strong-Tie structural screw alternatives to specified standard NDS fasteners in a variety of applications.

The SSC has been updated to include a sub-application for sole-plate-to-rim-board connections, and new options for ledger-to-stud connections using up to two layers of gypsum board. A new organizational feature has been added as well so you can now sort substitution options by corrosion resistance, making it easier to find the best screw for your project.
