Engineered Load Ratings

Every Simpson connector carries published allowable load values for uplift, lateral, and download forces, giving Missouri contractors and inspectors verified structural data for every connection point on the deck.

ZMAX Corrosion Protection

Simpson's ZMAX coating provides triple the corrosion resistance of standard G90 galvanized steel, making it the right choice for ground-contact applications and pressure-treated lumber used in Missouri's humid outdoor conditions.

Versatile Connector Range

From LUS joist hangers and ABU post bases to LSTA strap ties and DTT deck tension ties, Simpson's full connector lineup covers every structural connection point in residential and commercial Missouri deck builds.

SDS Structural Screw System

Simpson SDS screws deliver higher withdrawal and shear values than standard nails, reducing installation time while providing stronger, more reliable connections across every framing joint.

Maintenance

Match the Connector to the Load Condition

Always select connectors based on published load tables, uplift, lateral, and download values differ by connector model. Using an undersized hanger on a long joist span creates a structural risk.

Use the Correct Fasteners

Simpson connectors are engineered for specific nail or screw sizes. Substituting standard fasteners for specified SDS or 10d nails reduces the connector's rated load capacity and may fail inspection.

Apply ZMAX Connectors with Treated Lumber

Standard G90 galvanized connectors corrode when in contact with ACQ or CA pressure-treated lumber. Always specify ZMAX or stainless steel connectors wherever treated framing is used in Missouri builds.

Install Full Fastener Count in Every Hole

Leaving fastener holes unfilled reduces connector strength by a significant margin. Every pre-punched hole must be filled with the specified fastener for the connector to perform at its rated load value.

Verify Connector Orientation Before Fastening

Reversed or tilted connectors transfer loads incorrectly and compromise joint integrity. Double-check orientation against Simpson's installation diagrams before driving a single fastener.
