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.

The capacities for the ZYKT69 are determine for an embendingth length of the screws of the ZYKT of 280 mm. Details of the Zyklop are givne in ETA-07/0317.

The essential CNA / CSA have to be place in the oblong holes (lower side), and for the HTT22E also in the 2 lowermost holes Ø5 mm.

Fixing

Fastening into Timber Stud:

  • 4mm CNA Nails
  • 5mm CSA Screws

 

Fastening to the concrete:

  • Mechanical anchors: M16 WA Anchor or BOAX-II
  • Chemical anchors: injection mortar SET-XP or AT-HP + M16 threaded rod LMAS

 

Installation

  • The connector is mounted with a suitable M16 bolt to the concrete or masonry wall,  and the vertical leg is fastened with 4mm CNA Nails, or 5.0mm CSA Screws,  to the timber.
