The Simpson MSTCB Pre-Bent Strap is a pre-bent strap designed to transfer tension load from an upper-story shearwall to a beam on the story below.
- Use all specified fasteners.
- PSL beam may be used in lieu of a standard-dimension lumber beam with no load reductions.
- Multiply allowable loads by 1.85 to attain an allowable load for installations where two straps have been installed with a 1 1/2″ clear space between straps.
NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values
