LTT/HTT Tension Ties

LTT & HTT Tension Ties

LTT and HTT Tension Ties are engineered structural connectors designed to resist uplift and lateral tension forces in wood framing systems. Commonly used in deck construction, floor systems, and shear wall applications, these tension ties help maintain continuous load paths and improve overall structural stability.

At Fasteners Plus, we stock Simpson Strong-Tie LTT and HTT tension ties built for dependable, code-compliant performance. Whether you're reinforcing a deck-to-house connection or strengthening a shear wall assembly, these connectors provide the strength contractors and engineers trust.

What Are LTT & HTT Tension Ties Used For?

Tension ties are installed to resist uplift forces and reinforce framing connections that experience tension loads. They are often required to meet modern building codes in deck and structural framing applications.

• Deck-to-House Reinforcement: Improve lateral load resistance and prevent deck separation.
• Shear Wall Applications: Anchor framing members to maintain load paths.
• Floor & Roof Systems: Reinforce structural intersections subject to tension forces.
• Retrofit Projects: Upgrade existing framing to meet inspection requirements.

LTT vs. HTT - What’s the Difference?

• LTT Tension Ties: Compact connectors designed for lighter-duty tension applications.
• HTT Tension Ties: Higher-capacity ties built for increased uplift resistance and demanding structural loads.

Choosing the correct model depends on required allowable loads, anchor bolt size, fastener type, and project design specifications.

Why Choose Engineered Tension Ties?

• Resist Uplift & Lateral Forces: Improve safety in high-wind and seismic conditions.
• Maintain Continuous Load Paths: Essential for compliant framing systems.
• Engineered & Load-Rated: Designed and tested for structural performance.
• Durable Steel Construction: Built for long-term reliability.
• Code-Compliant Solutions: Frequently required in modern deck and building standards.

Built for Structural Safety & Compliance

Properly installed tension ties are critical to preventing structural separation and maintaining framing integrity under load. Contractors, inspectors, and engineers rely on LTT and HTT tension ties to reinforce key structural connections.
