NEW! The DTT2Z is a safe, cost-effective way to attach deck-railing posts to the deck framing. Because the post is tied back into the deck joists, rather than to the rim joist alone, the connection is stronger than typical through-bolt installations and complies with IRC and IBC code requirements regarding handrail and guardrail post connections for decks. The DTT2Z also complies with the new IRC requirements for laterally tying the deck to the house. Additionally, the versatile DTT2Z is load rated as a holdown for light-duty shearwalls and braced wall panel applications. The DTT2Z fastens easily to a single 2x joist or stud using Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive screws (SDS) (included) and accepts a 1/2" machine bolt or anchor bolt.
- DECK CONNECTOR: The 14 gauge DTT2 fastens easily to the wide face of a single or double 2x using included 1-1/2 inch Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws and accepts a 1/2"-diameter bolt or anchor bolt. DTT2 can be used to satisfy the IRC provision for a 1,500 lb. lateral load connection at two locations per deck.
- BUILT FOR SAFETY: DTT tension ties are safe, cost-effective connectors designed to meet or exceed code requirements for deck construction. These versatile DTT connectors are also load-rated as a holdown for light-duty shear walls and braced-wall panel applications
- DURABLE ZMAX COATING: DTT tension ties are finished with a ZMAX coating for durable protection in environments where connectors may be exposed to moisture or corrosive elements, making it ideal for outdoor or treated lumber applications.
- EASY INSTALLATION: The DTT2 Deck Tension Tie installs easily with the Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws install best with a low-speed high-torque drill with a 3⁄8" hex-head driver.
