The Simpson Strong-Tie RTT connectors are used for strengthening T-shaped outer corner connections where two 1x members join at a 90° angle. The RTU12 rigid tie corner is approved to be installed with the specified nails or with Strong-Drive SD connector screws. The Strong-Tie RTU12 rigid tie connector features a G90 Galvanizedfinish for added corrosion resistance and requires the use of hot-dip galvanized fasteners which meet the specifications of ASTM A153.
Installation:
- Use all specified fasteners.
- Install vertical members first, then attach horizontal members for easier alignment.
- Seat wood member in bracket with a C-clamp before securing to aid positioning and prevent skewing.
- Always follow manufacturer’s instructions when using power tools and building equipment.
NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values
