S/H1A is designed to fit within several proprietary
truss chords to provide uplift resistance.
MATERIAL: 43 mil (18 ga)
FINISH: Galvanized
INSTALLATION: • Use all specified fasteners.
• S/H1A can be installed with flanges facing
outwards, reverse of illustration, when installed
inside a wall for truss applications.
• S/H1A does not replace solid blocking.
• S/H1A may be used with proprietary material
sections. Contact material supplier for specific
installation details.
CODE: See page 8 for Code Listing Key Chart.
Tabulated loads based on truss members with yield strength, Fy, of 50 ksi and tensile strength, Fu, of 65 ksi. 1.
Reduce tabulated load proportionally for lower truss member steel strength. For example: 43 mil (18 ga) truss
member with a yield strength, Fy of 33 ksi and a tensile strength, Fu, of 45 ksi is connected to 43 mil top track and
wall stud. The adjusted allowable load is then 550 lbs. x minimum [33/50 or 45/60]=363 lbs.

S/PSPN58 and S/PSPN516 protecting shield plate fastener stoppers
meet IRC, IBC and the International Plumbing Code. S/PSPN516 meets
the code plumbing protection requirements as well as having additional
fasteners if the Designer chooses to use it as a track splice strap.
MATERIAL: 54 mil (16 ga)
FINISH: Galvanized, available in ZMAX

Note that the IBC section 2308.9.8 and the IRC section 602.6.1 require
a 54 mil (16 ga) strap with 6-16d nails and 8-16d nails respectively
each side at a hole or notch in a wood top, sill or sole plate. The Designer
or local building jurisdiction may permit an equivalent fastener strength
(i.e. screws in lieu of nails) to be used for the same condition in a CFS
top or bottom track.

Installation
#10 self-tapping screws may be used to attach S/PSPN to CFS framing 1.
with quantity determined by Designer.
PSPN516 with 6 #10 self-tapping screws each side achieves an allowable 2.
shear capacity of 1060 lbs and 1580 lbs to 33 mil (20 ga) track and to
43 mil (18 ga) track, respectively.
These products are available with additional corrosion protection. Additional products on
this page may also be available with this option, check with Simpson Strong-Tie for details.
