Description
The larger LTP5 spans subfloor at the top of the blocking or rim board. The embossments enhance performance.
The LTP4 lateral tie plate transfers shear forces for top plate-to-rim board or blocking connections. Nail holes are spaced to prevent wood splitting for single and double top-plate applications. May be installed over plywood sheathing.
The A35 angle's exclusive bending slot allows instant, accurate field bends for all two- and three-way ties. Balanced, completely reversible design permits the A35 to secure a great variety of connections.

These products are available with additional corrosion protection. Additional products on this page may also be available with this option, check with Simpson Strong-Tie for details.
For stainless-steel fasteners, see Fastener Types and Sizes Specified for Simpson Strong-Tie Connectors.
Many of these products are approved for installation with Strong-Drive® SD Connector screws.

- Allowable loads are for one angle. When angles are installed on each side of the joist, the minimum joist thickness is 3".
- Some illustrations show connections that could cause cross-grain tension or bending of the wood during loading if not reinforced sufficiently. In this case, mechanical reinforcement should be considered.
- LTP4 can be installed over 3/8" wood structural panel sheathing with 0.131" x 1 1/2" nails and achieve 0.72 of the listed load, or over 1/2" sheathing and achieve 0.64 of the listed load. 0.131" x 2 1/2" nails will achieve 100% load.
- LTP4 satisfies the IRC continuously sheathed portal frame (CS-PF) framing anchor requirements when installed over raised wood floor framing per Figure R602.10.6.4.
- The LTP5 may be installed over wood structural panel sheathing up to 1/2" thick using 0.131" x 1 1/2" nails with no reduction in load.
- Connectors are required on both sides to achieve F2 loads in both directions.
- A34 and A35 installed with 0.131" x 1 1/2" nails onto 1 1/4" LSL material will achieve 0.90 of the listed F1 and F2 loads.
- Fasteners: Nail dimensions in the table are diameter by length. SD screws are Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Drive® screws. PH612I is a pan-head #6 x 1/2" screw available from Simpson Strong-Tie.
