• Strap can be used for either CLT panel-to-panel connection or CLT panel-to-steel connection
• Full straps may be used to connect CLT panels together
• Full straps may be cut into half straps; these half straps may be used to connect CLT panels to steel attachment points (designed by others)
• Width: 8-1/16 in.
• Length: 47-5/8 in.
• 7-gauge steel (ASTM A653 Grade 33)
• Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance

Simpson Strong-Tie tested and load-rated tension straps and fasteners are designed to minimize cost and maximize speed and precision — while providing the strength, versatility and reliability you depend on. The MTWS48 strap utilizes MTW45-8 washers and Strong-Drive SDCF Timber-CF (SDCF) fully-threaded countersunk-head screws. The combination provides a tension strap with high strength and stiffness that can be used in a variety of CLT diaphragm and wall applications. The MTWS48 is a 7-gauge high-capacity strap specifically designed to carry tension across a CLT floor or wall panel joint. The MTWS48 can also be used to attach CLT panels to steel attachment points when paired with a welded connection (designed by others).
