MiTek has a new adjustable deck tension tie

2/20/2018

MiTek has released a new Adjustable Deck Tension Tie (ADTT-TZ) that promotes the company's mission to make decks safer.


The ADTT-TZ is built to resist the lateral loads that pull a deck away from the house or structure.


It also brings users in compliance with the 2015 International Residential Code R507.2.3(2), which requires the installation of a "Hold-Down Device" with a minimum allowable tension load of 750 lbs. in four locations on the deck.


Adjustable installation is another major feature. Using appropriate fasteners (such as USP WS8-HDG or 3/8-in lag screws), the ADTT-TZ can be installed with the screw either adjacent or up to 4-3/8-in below deck joist, avoiding the need for blocking extensions.


The ADTT-TZ is made of 14-gauge steel with G-185 galvanizing, and it comes with a two-hole break-out washer that will work with multiple screw sizes.
