1) Allowable load is tension capacity of the strap based on the total quantity of screws installed in the strap to develop full tension strength.
2) Allowable loads are based on Grade 33 steel for 43 mil (18 ga) and thinner CFS members and Grade 50 steel for 54 mil (16 ga) and thicker CFS members.
3) Install half the total quantity of fasteners on each end of the strap to achieve full tension load of strap.
4) Minimum quantity of fasteners to be installed with equal fasteners at each end of the connection. Product may have additional
holes not needed to meet the published allowable load of the strap.
5) #10 screws are ITW Buildex 10-16 HWH Teks Structural Fasteners with a nominal diameter of 0.190". Self-drilling tapping screws
with equivalent physical and strength properties may be used.
