Holdown 11-5/16 in. HDUE5 Predeflected Galvanized 14-Gauge

his Product The Simpson Strong-Tie Holdown 11-5/16 in. HDUE5 Predeflected Galvanized 14-Gauge is engineered to provide high-strength anchorage for shearwalls, braced wall panels, and other lateral-force-resisting systems in wood-frame construction. Its advanced design combines a predeflected seat, overlapping back plate, and optimized fastener pattern to help reduce deflection while improving load transfer and connection strength. Manufactured from durable 14-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized coating for corrosion resistance, the HDUE features an extruded seat for increased steel cross-section and teardrop-shaped holes for more even load distribution. Designed for installation with a 5/8 in. anchor bolt and Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, it provides an efficient and dependable connection for demanding structural applications. Key Features High-Strength Holdown – Designed for shearwalls, braced wall panels, and lateral-force-resisting applications.
