Product Description
The Simpson DTT2SS Deck Tension Tie Stainless With 1.5-Inch Screws (4 Pack) are a safe, cost-effective connectors designed to meet or exceed code requirements for deck construction. These versatile DTT connectors are also load rated as a holdown for light-duty shearwalls and braced-wall panel applications.For new construction or to make an existing deck code-compliant, the DTT1Z can be used as a tension tie to satisfy the 2015, 2018 and 2021 IRC provision for a 750 lb. lateral load connection to the house at four locations per deck. This code detail permits the lateral connection from the deck joists to be made to top plates, studs or headers within the supporting structure, which eliminates the need to access to the floor joists inside the home.
The DTT1Z is available in a kit (DTT1Z-KT) that includes (4) DTT1Z connectors, (4) Strong-Drive SDWH Timber-Hex HDG screws (SDWH27800G) and (26) #9 x 1 1/2" Strong-Drive SD Connector screws.The DTT1Z fastens to the narrow or wide face of a single 2x with Strong-Drive SD Connector screws or nails and accepts a 3/8" bolt, anchor bolt or lag screw (washer required) or can be installed with the Strong-Drive SDWH Timber-Hex HDG screw with an integral washer.The DTT2 can be used to satisfy the IRC provision for a 1,500 lb. lateral load connection at two locations per deck. Additionally, the DTT2 has been tested and evaluated in deck guardrail post applications to resist the code-specified lateral forces at the top of railing assemblies. The DTT2 is also available with longer 2 1/2" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (model DTT2Z-SDS2.5) to achieve higher loads when needed. The DTT2 fastens easily to the wide face of a single or double 2x using Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (included) and accepts a 1/2"-diameter bolt or anchor bolt.For guard post installations using Strong-Drive SDWS Timber screws, see technical bulletin Guard Post, Guard Rail and Baluster Installations Using Strong-Drive Structural Fasteners (T-F-GRDPSTRL).
