HTS series – designed for high stress situations. FHA series – approved multipurpose straps. LTSA/TSA series – tie strap is designed for use on a 1¹⁄₂" member. The 3" center-to-center nail spacing reduces the possibility of wood splitting. HPS series – This is a heavy piling strap which connects wood pilings to floor girders in elevated structures. LTSI series – designed for attachment to open wood chord web trusses. The 6" on-center staggered spacing eliminates the chance for wood grain splitting.
