HTT

Hold Down

Ideal for existing or new construction, HTT Tension ties provide a high strength timber to concrete, or timber to masonry, tension connection

The long vertical leg makes it possible to add the required number of fasteners (CNA Nails and CSA Screws) in a vertical post and still comply to relevant standards with regards to fastener spacing requirements.

The unique design of the HTT - a multi ply seat formed from a single piece of steel - gives the tension tie extra strength at the concrete / masonry anchorage point

Quantity of fasteners (n) may be choosen by the user. Capacity is then calculated with this number n.
⁽¹⁾ n is equal to 10 a maximum.
⁽²⁾ 4 CSA5.0x80 must always be installed on the bottom extremity of the oblong holes to reach the capacities given in the table. For other fastener in these 4 holes, the capacaity shall be calculated according to ETA.

Simplified numerical characteristic capacities values are based on load duration and service class assumption (Instantaneous, Service class 2, k_mod = 1.1). For other load duration, service class and fasteners, please refer to ETA-07/0285.

For HTT31, 4 CSA5.0x50 must always be installed on the bottom extremity of the oblong holes to reach the capacities given in the table. For other fasteners in these holes, the calculation shall be calculated according to ETA.
