The Simpson Strong-Tie HYS hybrid strut is the only CFS strut available on the market designed and tested for use as either a side or a rigid clip. This connector is commonly used at the bottom of a steel beam to accommodate large standoff conditions. It can be attached to the structure with screws, powder-actuated fasteners, or welds. This kit includes (10) HYS30/97 connectors and (55) XLSH78B1414 #14 shouldered screws for slide-clip applications.

Key Features

• Available in lengths of 12", 15", 24" and 30" (for 18" lengths, use SSB and FSB struts)
• Slots are positioned to minimize eccentric load and maximize capacity
• Slide application allows up to 1" of vertical moment in each direction when shouldered screws are used through the center of the slot
• Simpson Strong-Tie® No-Equal® stamps mark the center of the slots to help ensure the correct placement of shouldered screws
• Supports gravity and lateral loads when using #10 screws through small predrilled holes

• For installation as a slide connection, attach the HYS using shouldered screws through the slotted holes. Precision-manufactured shouldered screws provided with the HYS are designed to prevent over-driving and to ensure that the clip functions properly in the slide application.
• For installation as a rigid connection to support gravity and lateral loading, attach the clip using the small predrilled holes with #10 screws.
