capacity. The FGTR plate fastens to the wood member with Strong -Drive® SDS
Heavy -Duty Connector screws and the strap fastens to masonry or concrete with
"x5" Titen HD° Heavy -Duty Screw Anchors. The FGTRHL and FGTRHR are
designed with the strap at a 45 degree angle for comer hip applications. The FGTR
straps are manufactured from 7 gauge ASTM A1011 Grade 33 steel and the plates
are made from 3 gauge ASTM A1011 Grade 33 steel. Both components have a
powder coat painted finish. Girder tie down fastener schedule, dimensions, and
allowable loads are shown in Table 5. See Figure 6 for additional details.
4.10 LGT2 Light Truss/Girder Tiedown. The LGT2 is used to anchor a 2-ply wood truss
or beam (maximum 3" wide) to wood, concrete, or masonry. The LGT2 fastens to
the wood truss or beam with 0.148"x3'/4" nails or #9x1'/2' Strong -Drive® SD
Connector screws. For wood wall applications, it is fastened with 0.148"x3'/4' nails
Page 3 of 15 Simpson Strong -Tie
or #9x 1'h" Strong -Drive SD Connector screws. For masonry or concrete
applications, it fastens to masonry with '/<"x2'/d' Titen TurboTM or Titen® 2 screw
anchors, or to concrete with'/"x 1 V Titen Turbo or Titen 2 screw anchors. The LGT2
is manufactured from 14 gauge steel meeting ASTM A653 SS Grade 40 with a G90
galvanized finish. Allowable loads and fastener schedule are shown in Table 6. See
Figure 7 for additional details.
4.11 LGT3-SDS2.5 Light Truss/Girder Tiedown. The LGT3-SDS2.5 is used to anchor
a 3-ply wood truss or beam (maximum 5" wide) to wood, concrete, or masonry. The
LGT3-SDS2.5 fastens to the wood truss or beam with '/"x2'/2' long Strong -Drive®
SIDS Heavy -Duty Connector screws. For wood wall applications, it is fastened to
wood studs and plates with 0.148"x3'/4' nails. For masonry or concrete applications,
it is fastened with Vx5" Titen HD° Heavy -Duty Screw Anchors. The LGT3-SDS2.5
is manufactured from 12 gauge steel meeting ASTM A653 SS Grade 40 with a G90
galvanized finish. Allowable loads and fastener schedule are shown in Table 6. See
Figure 7 for additional details.
4.12 LGT4-SDS3 Light Truss/Girder Tiedown. The LGT4-SDS3 is used to anchor a
4-ply wood truss or beam (maximum 61/" wide) to wood, concrete, or masonry. The
LGT4-SDS3 fastens to the wood truss or beam with '/4'x3" long Strong -Drive° SDS
Heavy -Duty Connector screws. For wood wall applications, it is fastened to wood
studs and plates with 0.148"x3'/4' nails. For masonry or concrete applications, it is

8. FINDINGS:
The connectors listed in this evaluation report comply with the 7th Edition (2020) Florida
Building Code, Building, and 71h Edition (2020) Florida Building Code, Residential when
installed in accordance with this report.
9. LIMITATIONS:
Maximum allowable loads shall not exceed the allowable loads listed in this report.
Allowable loads listed in this report are based on allowable stress design. The loads in
this report are not applicable to Load and Resistance Factor Design.
2. Capacity of wood members is not covered by this report. Capacity of wood members
must be checked by the building designer.
Page 6 of 15 Simpson Strong -Tie
3. Connectors in this report having a galvanized coating thickness less than G185 shall not
be installed in contact with preservative -treated wood products that are exposed to
rainfall or ground moisture.
4. Allowable loads for more than one direction for a single connection cannot be added
together. A design load that can be divided into components in the directions given must
be evaluated as follows:
(Design Uplift / Allowable Uplift) + (Design Lateral Parallel to Plate / Allowable
Lateral Parallel to Plate) + (Design Lateral Perpendicular to Plate / Allowable
Lateral Perpendicular to Plate) < 1.0
As an alternate, the embedded truss anchors in Tables 2 and 3 can be evaluated using
the following: The design load in each direction shall not exceed the published allowable
load in that direction multiplied by 0.75.
10. ALLOWABLE LOADS:
The tables that follow reference the allowable loads for the aforementioned products.

1 . Loads have been increased 60% for wind loading as permitted by the code. No further increase permitted.
Reduce where other loads govern.
2. MTSM and HTSM do not have to be wrapped over the truss/rafter to achieve tabulated loads.

1.y 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. F1 load towards face of HETAL is 1,870 lb.
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) 0.162"X3%2" or (7) 0.148"x1 %Z' fasteners are used with the META anchor.
7. The HHETA allowable F1 load can be increased to 435 lb. 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'/" for concrete and 2" for masonry.

where other loads govern.
2. Minimum fe = 2,500 psi. Minimum fm = 1,500 psi.
3. Install with spoons facing outward and spaced no more than %" wider than the truss width.
4. The DETAL20 requires (6) 0.148"X1'/" nails in the truss seat and (6) 0.148"X1'/" nails into each strap. For all other
models, install half of the required number of fasteners in each strap.
5. Ft loads for the DETAL20 in GFCMU may cause an additional'/32" deflection beyond the standard W limit.
6. Lateral loads for double META, HETA, and HHETA apply only to 2- or 3-ply applications with anchors spaced a
minimum of 3" apart. For 1-ply applications, use lateral loads in Table 2. DETAL lateral loads apply to 1-ply application.
7. Ft loads for double META, HETA, and HHETA may cause an additional 1/16" deflection beyond the standard'/8" limit
when the straps are installed not wrapped over the heel as shown.
