The Simpson CS22 is a light-duty coiled strap engineered for wood-framed construction where tension or uplift resistance is required. Made from 22-gauge galvanized steel and designed for versatility, the CS22 can be cut to length in the field for maximum flexibility during framing.

This continuous utility strap is ideal for transferring tension loads in a range of structural connections.

Key Features:

• Flexible Design: Coiled format allows you to cut the exact length you need for custom applications.
• Light-Duty Strength: Made from 22-gauge steel to handle lighter load requirements where heavier straps aren’t needed.
• G90 Galvanized Finish: Provides a layer of corrosion resistance for interior use.
• Compatible Fastening: Designed for installation with 10d or 8d common nails or Simpson Strong-Tie fasteners.

Applications:

• Roof-to-wall connections for uplift resistance
• Tension ties across floor or roof diaphragms
• Joining wall segments or plates
• Light bracing for framing assemblies

Installation:

1. Measure and Cut: Uncoil the strap and cut it to the required length using metal snips.
2. Position Carefully: Ensure the strap overlaps framing members and spans the desired connection points.
3. Fasten Securely: Install with 10d or 8d nails in all designated nail holes. Follow local code or engineer specs for nail quantity and spacing.
4. Double Check Tension Paths: Make sure the strap remains in a straight path with full contact to wood surfaces for optimal load transfer.
