Timber ConnectorsH High Wind TieDesigned to provide ties for trusses and rafters likely to be subjectto high winds, this versatile range may be used for generalpurposes, strongback attachments and as all-purpose ties whereone timber crosses another.H2.5 and H4 may be installed in pairs to achieve twice the statedsafe working loads. Where the truss thickness is less than 63mminstall diagonally across from each other, as shown in theillustration below.The H4 has a unique shape that requires fewer nails. The designallows for installation on the inside of the wall plate withoutinterfering with the gypsum board or for installation on the outsideof the wall plate without interfering with the cladding material.138406040H2.5129-15038MATERIAL:H2.5: 1.2mm; H4: 0.9mm pre-galvanised mild steel.INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See "General Notes"(page 12).• H2.5 and H4 ties are shipped in equal quantities of separaterights and lefts.•Protruding nails should always be clinched.H4U.S. Patent 4,714,372925444Tmiber ConnectorsModelNo.Number of Fasteners(Use 3.75mm x 30mm)To RaftersTo PlatesShortTermUpliftSafeWorking Loads (kN)Characteristic Capacity (kN)Lateral Short TermLateral Short TermUpliftF 1 F 2 F 1 F 2H2.5 5 5 1.65 0.58 0.58 5.70 1.71 1.71H4 4 4 1.05 0.62 0.60 - - -1. SWL’s are for one anchor. A minimum rafter thickness of 63mm must be used when framing anchors are installed on each side of the joist and on the same side of the plate.2. Uplift SWL’s are for the H4 sole plate installation@ 0.92kN; 1.58kN for H2.5.3. When cross-grain bending or cross-grain tension cannot be avoided, mechanical reinforcement to resist all such forces should be considered.H2.5 Installation H4 Sole PlateInstallation(see footnote 2)H4 InstallationTop View Installation to Achieve Twice the LoadCatalogue C-UK10 © 2010 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE COMPANY INC.Install diagonally across fromeach other for single ply 35mm or47mm trusses.Nailing into both sides of a singleply 35mm or 47mm truss maycause the wood to split.96

Timber ConnectorsLS Skewable AngleDesigned to attach timber members at irregular angles, theseconnectors can be bent on site from 0° to 135°.The staggered nail pattern reduces the possibility for splittingand allows installation on both sides of the member.Typical LS70InstallationMATERIAL: 1.2mm pre-galvanised mild steel.INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See "General Notes"(page 12). Angles should be bent to suit installation only once.Joists must be constrained against rotation (for example, with solidblocking) when using a single LS Angle per connection.ModelNo.LengthFasteners(3.75mm x 75mm)SafeWorkingLoads (kN)LongTermMediumTermLS30 85 6 1.29 1.60LS50 124 8 1.73 2.16LS70 162 10 2.16 2.58LS70 Top ViewLS129-150U.S. Patent 4,230,4161.2.Loads are for one part only.Minimum timber thickness to achieve table load is 45mm.
