The LSTHD is an embedded strap-tie holdown with features that aid correct installation and improve performance in both wood and cold-formed steel construction. When installed on the forms with the StrapMate® strap holder or other holding device, the unique design of this light cast-in-place strap-tie holdown delivers enhanced stability before and during the pour to help prevent both parallel and perpendicular movement.

Features

• The staggered nailing pattern helps to minimize splitting and allows for nailing to the edges of double 2x members
• Strap nail slots are countersunk to provide a lower nail head profile when used with specified fasteners
• The slots below the embedment line enable increased front-to-back concrete bond and help to reduce spalling
