Simpson Strong-tie H10ASS Stainless Steel Hurricane Tie

Product DescriptionThe Simpson Strong-Tie H10ASS is a stainless steel hurricane tie designed to create a strong mechanical connection between roof framing members and wall top plates. This connector resists uplift and lateral forces generated by high-wind events, making it a critical structural component in wind-prone construction zones. Fabricated from stainless steel, it is suited for use in corrosive environments where standard galvanized connectors are not acceptable, including coastal and treated-lumber applications. Licensed contractors and framers install this tie as part of a continuous load path from the roof to the foundation.The H10ASS is used in residential and light commercial wood-frame construction where high-wind or hurricane uplift resistance is required. It is appropriate for new construction and retrofit framing projects. The stainless steel material makes it compatible with pressure-treated lumber, including ACQ and CA treated wood, where standard connectors can experience accelerated corrosion. Contractors working in coastal regions or hurricane-rated building zones will commonly specify this tie to meet local code requirements.Key Features Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in coastal and treated-lumber environments Designed to transfer uplift and lateral loads from roof framing to wall framing Supports continuous load path construction required by high-wind building codes Compatible with pressure-treated lumber including ACQ and CA chemical treatments Sold individually, allowing quantity-specific purchasing for each framing layout CompatibilityDesigned as an OEM-style structural connector for use in wood-frame residential and light commercial construction requiring hurricane tie connections at rafter or truss-to-plate conditions.Installation NotesInstallation is typically performed by licensed framers or general contractors following applicable building codes, including IBC and local high-wind provisions. Fasten using the nail or screw pattern specified on the connector and in the manufacturer load tables for the applicable load direction. Do not substitute fastener type, count, or size, as this directly affects rated load capacity. Verify lumber species and treatment type prior to installation to confirm appropriate connector selection.Technical Specifications Material: Stainless Steel Weight: 0.413 pounds Unit of Measure: Each Minimum Order Quantity: 1 Standard Information Brand: Simpson Strong-Tie Manufacturer Part Number: H10ASS
