ALPINE'S NEW LMS LIGHT-MEDIUM TIE STRAP SERIES RESISTS TENSION LOADS
VERNON HILLS, Ill., December 9, 2015 – Expanding on the success of its Light (LS) and
Medium (MS) Tie Straps, Alpine now offers the LMS Light-Medium Tie Strap Series. These
nine new tie straps are designed to resist tension loads when attached to solid sawn or
structural composite lumber metal plate-connected trusses, framing members and wall
members.
All of the new products are 1-1/4-in. wide and range in length from 9-5/8 to 36-5/8 in. They are
made from 18-gauge, mill-certified steel coil, which falls between the LS (20 gauge) and MS (16
gauge) straps, providing greater flexibility, convenience and utility on the jobsite.
"The nine new tie strips were developed as a result of customer requests for an 18-gauge
product," said Pat Ryan, Alpine sales and marketing manager – Construction Hardware. "They
also provide additional steel gauge and tension load options for the complete line of Alpine tie
straps, ensuring customers always have the right product for their specific application."
