White Paper: 5 Ways to find the right fasteners partner

Five things to look for when selecting the best partner in a fastener supplier.

 Described as the first poly-ash siding product, the Boral TruExterior Siding Craftsman Collection offers an array of full-thickness profiles, engineered with bold, defined shapes coupled with low maintenance and simple installation. Boasting workability, durability, and dimensional stability, the Boral TruExterior Siding Craftsman Collection includes five profiles designed to recreate the classic look traditionally associated with wood products. Positioned as an alternative to conventional redwood, pine, and cedar siding options, the Boral TruExterior Siding Craftsman Collection aims to satisfy the demand for a workable option while resisting rotting, cupping, twisting and raised grain. Available in nominal six-, eight- and 10-inch widths. www.boral.com

MiTek’s HTT45 Tension Tie

- Advertisement -

 The HTT45 Tension Tie is the newest addition to USP’s line of tension ties. The company says it provides two different load carrying capacities by utilizing a diamond hole max nailing pattern. The HTT45’s high loadcarrying capacity is said to exceed the hold-down connection requirements for Braced Wall Panels of Table R602.10.6.1 of the 2012 IRC. HTT45’s installs (with 10d or 16d nails) above the sill plate in new or retrofit applications. A fully integrated 3Ga washer is engineered to provide positive load transfer to wood framing members, and there is no predrilling required. When installed using USP’s 5/8-in. STB anchor bolt, the HTT45 Tension Tie is said to become part of a fully tested and structurally rated system. www.MiTek-us.com
