wood truss or beam with 10d common nails.A minimum of six nails must be into the
face of the truss or beam adjacent to the MGT.A minimum of four nails must be into
the top of the truss.The base of the MGT is designed for a single W diameter anchor
bolt or rod. For masonry or concrete applications, this W anchor must be designed
by the building designer to provide at least as much capacity as is required of the
MGT. For wood wall applications, this W anchor may be a length of all thread rod
that is attached to an anchor fastened to the studs beneath the truss or beam. This
anchor must provide at least as much capacity,as is required of the MGT.The MGT
is manufactured from 12 gauge steel meeting ASTM A653 SS Grade 40 with a G90
galvanized finish. The washer in the seat is W plate steel meeting ASTM A36.

Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws. The base of the VGT is designed for a
single %' diameter anchor bolt or rod. The rod can be fastened to a connector
mounted to framing below the girder or extend to and be anchored into the
foundation.-The anchor bolt can be anchored to a.concrete or masonry wall that is
designed by the building designer to resist the high concentrated uplift load at that
location. The VGT can be installed a single application or doubled to achieve
additional uplift capacity. The included crescent washer allows the VGT to be
installed at an angle from 3:12 to 8:12. If the VGT is installed on a member sloped
less than or greater than that amount, the VGT must be rotated so that it is sloped
between 3:12 and 8:12. The VGTR and VGTL have one of the side flanges
concealed so they can be placed at the end of a truss or beam. The VGT is
manufactured from 7 gauge steel meeting ASTM A653 SS Grade 33. with a G90
galvanized finish. Allowable loads and fastener schedule are shown in Table 6. See
Figure 10 for additional details.

when framing anchors are installed on each side of the joist or truss.
5. HGAMIO F2 loads are for forces into the connector. F2 loads away from the connector are 640 lb. (DF/SP) and
460 lb. (SPF/HF).
6. Minimum edge distance for Titen 2 screw is 11/2". Titen screws of the same diameter and length may be
substituted for the tabulated Titen 2 screw size with no.change in allowable load.
.7. LTA2 allowable uplift on SP is 1,350 lb.for perpendicular-to-wall installation and parallel-to-wall installation.
8. Minimum fc=2,500 psi.Minimum f.=1,500 psi.
9. The HM9KT and HGAMIOKTA are kits with (20) HM9 and (10) HGAMIO connectors packaged with Simpson

Notes:
1. Loads have been increased 60%for wind loading as permitted by the code. No further increase
permitted. Reduce where other loads govern.
2. The META, HETA,and HHETA, require the lowest four nail holes be filled.
3. Five nails must be installed into the truss seat of the HETAL.
4. F, load towards face of HETAL is 1,870 Ib.
5. Minimum fc=2,500 psi. Minimum fm=1,500 psi.
6. It is acceptable to use a reduced number of fasteners in any model listed provided that there is
a reduction in uplift load capacity.The load per nail can be approximated by dividing the allowable
load by the number of nails.There should be a minimum of 4 nails installed in the strap. Lateral
loads do not apply when fewer than 7 fasteners are used with the HETA and HHETA anchors or
less than (6)16d or(7) 10dx1'/2"fasteners are used with the META anchor.
7. The HHETA allowable F, load can be increased to 435 Ib. if the strap is wrapped over the truss
and a minimum of 12 nails are installed.
8. Straps-do not have to be wrapped over the truss/rafter to achieve tabulated loads unless
specifically noted otherwise.
9. Minimum edge distance for META, HETA,and HHETA is 1'/z'for concrete and 2"for masonry.

Notes:
1. Loads have been increased 60%for wind loading as permitted by the code. No further increase permitted. Reduce
where other loads govern.
2. Minimum fc=2,500 psi. Minimum fm=1,500 psi.
3. Install with spoons facing outward and spaced no more than %a'wider than the truss width.
4" The DETAL20 requires(6)1Odx1%'nails in the truss seat and(6)10dx1%Z'nails into each strap.For all other models,
install half of the required number of fasteners in each strap"
5. F, loads for the DETAL20 in GFCMU may cause an additional 1/32"deflection beyond the standard%a'limit.
6. Lateral loads for double META, HETA, and HHETA apply only to 2- or 3-ply applications with anchors spaced a
minimum of Y apart.For 1-ply applications,use lateral loads in Table 2.DETAIL lateral loads apply to 1-ply application.
7. F, loads for double META, HETA,and HHETA may cause an additional 1/16"deflection beyond the standard%a".limit
when the straps are installed not wrapped over the heel as shown.
