The H2.5A single-sided hurricane tie is designed to resist moderate loads at the rafter/truss-to-top-plate connection. As part of a continuous load path, the H2.5A resists both lateral and uplift loads. The symmetrical design eliminates the need for separate right and left parts.
When installing ties on plated trusses (on the side opposite the truss place) do not fasten through the truss plate from behind. This can force the truss plate off of the truss and compromise truss performance.
