Product Expert Notes
The S/H2.5 is the cold-formed steel counterpart of Simpson's popular H2.5, so confirm you are ordering the steel-framing version before checkout. Always install with the full fastener schedule from the Simpson load tables, since partial nailing or screwing reduces rated capacity significantly. Use the matching hot-dip galvanized fasteners to keep the connection corrosion-compatible. For higher wind or seismic demand, Simpson offers larger H-series ties.
Structural hurricane ties must be installed with the specified fastener type and pattern; never substitute undersized or non-galvanized fasteners, and follow your local building code.
Add the Simpson Strong-Tie S/H2.5 galvanized hurricane tie pair to your cold-formed steel framing cart.
