The H8 single-sided hurricane tie is designed to resist moderate loads at the top of a wall connection. Provides a connection as part of a continuous load path to resist wind and seismic forces. The H8 is versatile and has been tested for connecting I-joist rafters to double top plates as well as studs to sill plates.

Installation
- Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
