Greater tie-down strength: Stud Tie nails are driven into the side grain of the stud to resist wind uplift in lateral shear.
No splitting of the timber: With Stud Ties, the careful location of the nails away from timber ends and edges avoids splitting which can occur in common nails only joints, especially in some timbers and particularly with skew nailing.
This is not only unsightly, but it reduces the strength of the joint substantially.
Stud ties connect top and bottom plates to studs to resist wind uplift.
Pryda Stud Ties greatly improve the jointing of top and bottom plates to studs compared to the common nail fixing.
Single sided Stud Ties are specially designed for factory production. They avoid the need to reach under the frame on the framing table.
