Key Features:
- Enhanced Load Capacity: Engineered to meet increased demands in residential construction, especially for large openings and taller walls.
- Innovative Angled Fastening: Larger models feature screw placement that engages both tension and shear for higher allowable loads with fewer fasteners.
- Predeflected Seat Design: Rounded seat minimizes deflection under load, improving structural stability.
- Overlapping Back Plate: Reinforces steel strength while helping prevent post splitting.
- Optimized Screw Patterns: Designed to reduce wood splitting and maximize fastener performance at the post end.
Installation:
Each HDUE holdown is installed using Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector Screws (Included). This method minimizes fastener slip and preserves more of the wood post’s net section compared to bolted connections.
