Special Features: single piece non-welded design results in higher

Fewer inspection problems.
Finish: galvanized. HD8A may be ordered HDG; check with the
factory.
Installation: for an improved connection, use a steel nylon locking
nut or a thread adhesive on the anchor bolt. Bolt holes shall be a
minimum of 1⁄32" to a maximum of 1⁄16" larger than the bolt
diameter (per 1991 NDS, section 8.1.2.1.)
Standard washers are required on stud bolt nuts against the wood.
The Load Transfer Plate is an integral part of the HDA Hold down
and no washer is required.
Locate on wood member to maintain a minimum distance of seven
bolt diameters from the end of the member to the centerline of the
first bolt hole (HDAs are self-jigging; minimum required distance is
automatically maintained when end of wood member is flush with
the bottom of the holdown.)
To tie double 2x members together, the designer must determine
the fasteners required to bind members to act as one unit without
splitting.
For holdowns installed on the mudsill, anchor bolt nuts should be
finger-tight plus 1⁄3 to 1⁄2 turn with a wrench, with consideration
given to possible future wood shrinkage. Care should be taken to
not over-torque the nut, which may lead to premature anchor bolt
failure.
HD5A
Stud bolts should be snugly tightened (per 1991 NDS, section
8.1.2.4.)

Offers significant savings over
plywood or 2x wood holders. Use
the MKP5/8 to install the SSTB16,
20, and 24. May be used several
times. Stabilizes bolt by providing
three-point support against lateral
concrete pressure. Alignment
arrows (left or right) match the
SSTB bolt head arrow. Stamped for
2x4 ro 2x6 mudsill placement. No
nut required to hold bolt in place.
When removed, the MKP cleans the
bolt thread of concrete.

NAILS
Description
Strong-Tie nails and structural
fasteners have been developed as
the optimum fasteners for
connector products. Special lengths
afford economy of purchase and
installation, and depth compatibility
with framing members. Nail
specifications include head size,
thickness, steel and shank design,
and point configuration to ensure
conformity to published values.

Wood screws reduce slip due to
overdrilled bolt holes. Smaller
centerline reduces eccentricity in
the stud. No stud bolts to
countersink. the slot in the seat
provides anchor bolt adjustment.
Connectors 3" width fits easily on a
4x wall.
Material: see table.
Finish: galvanized.
Installation: place over the anchor
bolt. Install Simpson’s SDS1⁄4"x 3"
wood screws (sold separately.) For
an improved connection, use a steel
nylon locking nut or a thread
adhesive on the anchor bolt. To tie
double 2x members together, the
designer must determine the
fasteners required to bind members
to act as one unit without splitting
the wood.
PHD
Codes: submitted to ICBO and City
of L.A. in 10/96.
REINFORCING AND SKEWABLE ANGLES
L – Curved metal speed prong reduces labor and
overall construction cost. Staggered nail pattern
reduces the possibility for splitting and allows
installation on both sides of a member.
LS – Field-adjustable angles attach members
intersecting at angles. Bend one time only. Joist
must be constrained against rotation
(for example, with solid blocking) when using a
single LS per connection.
