1) A 16d Common nail has a diameter of 0.162 inch and a length of 3-1/2 inches.
2) Predrilled holes are not required
3) Minimum nail embedment shall be 8 nail diameters (typ).
4) An edge distance of 1/2" implies that the distance from the corner of the wall to the edge of the strap is no less than 1/2".
5) An edge distance of 1.5 x IE implies that the minimum distance from the corner of the wall to the centerline of the strap is
no less than 1.5 times the embedment depth.
6) For edge distances between 1/2" and 1.5 x lE calculate loads using straight line interpolation.
7) Minimum anchor spacing for full capacity is 2 x lE. For spacing less than that reduce capacity proportionally.
8) The allowable loads are based on lumber with a specific gravity of 0.49 for DF-L and 0.42 for S-P-F with a moisture content of 19% or less.
9) Minimum concrete strength f'c = 2500 psi
10) Minimum 1-#4 rebar shall be installed in the shear cone

Foundation Straps – TA series
Foundation Straps offer an economical, one-piece method of achieving a
continuous load path from a 2 x 8, 2 x 10, 2 x 12, or 2 x 14 rim joist
through concrete block to foundation. All models require a 6˝
embedment into concrete footings.
Materials: 12 gauge
Finish: G90 galvanizing
Finish: TA51 and TA71 are available in Triple Zinc. To order
add TZ to stock number, as in TA51-TZ
Codes: Load values are derived from data submitted to
various North American building code evaluators.

Installation:
• Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.
• Factored resistances are based on either nail fastening or bolt fastening; nail and bolt values
cannot be combined.
• Install by inserting product into footing’s wet concrete. All models require a 6˝ embedment into
concrete foundations. Courses of concrete block must be laid over connector. Notch mudsill at
connector locations. Wrap strap over rim joist and fasten.
• Do not rely on these straps to secure concrete sections together between cold joints; take other
measures to transfer the load. If there is a cold joint between block and foundation, the minimum
embedment must be made into the foundation.
• Based on product embedment the exposed number of fastener holes may be reduced. Using
fewer fasteners will reduce allowable loads. Reduce factored resistance by the code prescribed
factored resistance per fastener, for each fastener not installed.
• Factored resistances are based on a minimum concrete compressive strength of 2,000 psi at
28 days.
