ADTT-TZ Adjustable Deck Tension Tie
Deck collapses are often caused by failure of the
connection where the deck is attached to the main
structure due to little or no lateral capacity. ADTT-TZ
is an Adjustable Deck Tension Tie designed to effectively
transfer the out of plane lateral loads of the deck to
the house structure.
Features:
• Adjustable design allows lag screw installation
at variable distance below deck joist
• 2-hole break-out washer (BO-W) will work
with multiple screw sizes
• Blocking extensions not required
Materials: 14 gauge
Finish: G-185 galvanizing
Codes: See chart for code references
Patents: U.S. Patent No. 9,809,974
Installation:
• Install with MiTek’s WS8-EXT structural
wood screw or 3/8" HDG lag screw. WS8-EXT
or 3/8" HDG lag screws may be installed adjacent
or up to 4-3/8" below deck joist (see Figure A).
• Drive screw horizontally and aligned vertically
with the deck joist into the wall top plate of the
main (house) structure.
• Install four (4) of the specied joist fasteners into
vertical legs. (Two (2) on each side of deck joist).
• Secure front brace with six (6) specied
joist fasteners.
• Re-tighten the WS8-EXT or 3/8" HDG lag screw as
needed to fully engage with the ADTT-TZ. DO NOT
OVERDRIVE. Note: Minimum 3" thread penetration
required for proper installation of WS8-EXT or lag screw.
