Applications
- Connecting roof purlins to concrete or masonry walls
- Stud-to-foundation strap-tie holdown connections
- Post-frame and light commercial construction

- Residential wall anchorage requiring uplift resistance
- Any wood-to-concrete or wood-to-masonry connection requiring a code-recognized strap anchor
Installation
The PA Purlin Anchor installs by embedding the anchor portion into concrete or masonry and fastening the strap to wood framing using specified nails or approved fasteners. Proper embedment depth, fastener type, and fastener quantity must follow Simpson Strong-Tie installation guidelines and applicable code requirements.
For holdown applications, the strap is positioned along the face of the stud and secured with the required fasteners to ensure full load transfer. For purlin anchorage, the strap wraps or aligns with the purlin as designed, maintaining correct fastener placement and spacing.
Always verify corrosion requirements, fastener compatibility, and load demands prior to installation. Refer to current Simpson Strong-Tie technical data and evaluation reports for allowable loads and installation details.

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.
