VARIABLE GIRDER TIEDOWN
$110.96
Crafted for robust structural support, the VGT 7-Gauge Variable Girder Tiedown from Simpson Strong-Tie is engineered to enhance the stability of trusses without overhangs. Made from durable 7-gauge steel, its design incorporates screw holes that accommodate double installation on minimum two-ply trusses, ensuring a secure fit. The included washer component must be carefully aligned to maintain a horizontal position, further contributing to effective load transfer on roof pitches of up to 8/12. With a G90 galvanized finish, this tiedown provides exceptional corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for long-lasting use in challenging environments.
