This series of straps are designed for use with hardened steel gun nails, blending yield strength of 200Ksi, readily available to the roof erectors. The CNS KIP and 3XCNS KIP straps are designed primarily for use on horizontal diaphragms. The heavy gage steel combined with a wide cross section and use of hardened gun nails gives much higher loads than other available straps. All products are embossed for use with nail guns. Embossing not only guides the nail into the strap opening, but surrounds the nail head, greatly reducing the potential for tearing of the roofing materials minimizing potential leaks. Special . . It all started with a simple idea of forming an embossment around each metal connector nail hole. The embossment, along with the proper nail gun nose adapter, aligns many commonly used nail guns over the metal NO HAMMER™ connector nail holes. Installing these connectors with a nail gun makes installation up to five times faster than the old style hand nail connectors. Material . . 12 ga. and 10 ga. galvanized steel. Specially ordered high yield strength galvanized steel.
