This code detail permits the lateral connection from the deck joists to be made to top plates, studs or headers within the supporting structure, which eliminates the need to access to the floor joists inside the home.

Additionally, the DTT2 has been tested and evaluated in deck guardrail post applications to resist the code-specified lateral forces at the top of railing assemblies. The DTT2 is also available with longer 2 1\/2\" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (model DTT2Z-SDS2.5) to achieve higher loads when needed. The DTT2 fastens easily to the wide face of a single or double 2x using Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (included) and accepts a 1\/2\"-diameter bolt or anchor bolt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor guard post installations using Strong-Drive SDWS Timber screws, see technical bulletin\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGuard Post, Guard Rail and Baluster Installations Using Strong-Drive\u003csup data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eStructural Fasteners\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e(T-F-GRDPSTRL).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productAttributes\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"pubmaterial\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e14 gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"finish\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDTT1Z\/DTT2Z — ZMAX\u003csup data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ecoating; DTT2SS — stainless steel; see Corrosion Information\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"installation\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUse all specified fasteners; see General Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA standard cut washer (included for DTT2) must be installed between the nut and the seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStrong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (SDS) install best with a low-speed high-torque drill with a 3\/8\" hex-head driver (Model BITHEXR38-R1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStrong-Drive SD Connector screws (SD) install with a 1\/4\" hex-head driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStrong-Drive SDWH Timber-Hex HDG screws install with a 3\/8\" hex-head driver (Model BITHEXR38-R1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"patentInformation\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePatent Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUS Patents 8,555,580; 10,865,558\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simpson Strong-Tie","offers":[{"title":"14 gauge - 1\/4\" X 1-1\/2\"","offer_id":46703079325929,"sku":"573984","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/2008\/0105\/files\/product-media-349263.jpg?v=1776263710","url":"https:\/\/gmhalllumber.com\/products\/copy-of-simpson-strong-tie-rckw-kneewall-connector","provider":"George M.
