Description

The Simpson CTS218 is a high-performance compression and tension strap engineered to repair and reinforce wood members such as top plates, studs, and trusses.

The strap features rolled edges that allow it to span gaps as wide as 4-1/2 inches, ensuring stability even in compromised framing. Its slim 1-1/2 inch width makes it ideal for installation on the narrow face of standard 2x lumber.
