Simpson Strong-Tie LSTHD8 18-5/8" Strap-Tie Holdown Connector - G90 Galvanized
Specifications
The Simpson Strong-Tie LSTHD8 Light Strap-Tie Holdown is engineered to provide a reliable tension connection in wood-frame construction. Designed to help resist uplift and overturning forces in shearwall and braced-wall applications, the LSTHD8 delivers dependable performance in a compact, versatile design.
Unlike traditional rigid holdowns, the LSTHD8 utilizes a flexible strap configuration that allows for easier installation and alignment while maintaining strong load transfer. Its light-profile design makes it well suited for applications where space is limited but structural reinforcement is required. Manufactured from durable steel with corrosion-resistant protection, the LSTHD8 is built for long-term performance in both residential and light commercial projects.
Available in multiple finish options to suit interior and exterior conditions, the LSTHD8 provides an efficient solution for tension load resistance in modern framing systems.

Holdowns and Tension Ties Reinforce Structural Connections
Holdowns and Tension ties are designed to strengthen critical structural connections where uplift and lateral forces occur. Commonly used in shear walls, deck connections, and wood framing, holdown anchors and tension ties help transfer loads from framing members to the foundation, reducing movement and improving overall structural stability.
-
Precision Fit for Critical Framing Connections
Tension ties and holdown connectors feature prepunched holes that allow accurate fastener placement and proper alignment during installation. These connectors reinforce high-load framing areas where standard fasteners alone may not provide sufficient strength.
-
Corrosion-Resistant for Outdoor Durability
Holdown anchors and deck tension ties are often installed in exterior environments where moisture and treated lumber are present. Many Simpson Strong- Tie connectors feature corrosion-resistant finishes like ZMAX or stainless steel to help maintain long-term strength and performance.
