Product Description
The Ezi Stud Tie is a quick, neat and effective connector between studs and wall plates.
Uses
Pryda Stud Ties greatly improve the jointing of top and bottom plates to studs compared to the common nail fixing.
Features
- Greater tie-down strength – stud tie nails are driven into the side grain of the stud to resist wind uplift in lateral shear, which is is far stronger than relying on the withdrawal strength of common nails in end grain
- 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
- Convenience – these stud ties have in-built nails, so there is no need for other nails; quick and easy to apply, the in-built nails are readily driven home with a conventional hammer
- Designed for both factory and site installation, with the added advantage of a greater tie-down capacity
- Complies with AS1684 Bracing Units rules – meets the tie-down requirements of the code when installed as specified
