The STHD is an embedded strap-tie holdown offering high loads in both wood and cold-formed steel construction. When installed on the forms with the StrapMate® strap holder, the unique design delivers enhanced stability before and during the pour to help prevent both parallel and perpendicular movement. This results in accurate positioning of the strap and reduced possibility of spalling. Dimensions Length 26-1/8 in.
Strap may be bent one full cycle (bent horizontal 90° then bent vertical) to aid wall placement, but may cause spalling behind the strap. If the spall is 1 in. or less, measured from the embedment line to the bottom of the spall, full loads apply. STHD10 and STHD14 achieve full load for spalls less than 4 in,. Any portion of the strap left exposed should be protected against corrosion. See General Notes for Holdowns and Tension Ties. Fasteners: 0.148 x 3-1/4 in. (22, 24, 30 Needed depending on load requirements)
