This is a hurricane gusset angle designed for high-wind construction and seismic load resistance. Model Number: S\/HGAM10KT. If you are working on cold-formed steel framing and need a direct connection back to masonry, this is the part meant for that job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eWhat makes this connector different from a basic angle is the engineered gusset built into the bend. That formed gusset is there to increase strength for uplift and lateral loading, which is exactly what matters when wind tries to lift a roof edge or rack the connection sideways. Simpson lists the S\/HGAM for increased loads in high-wind or seismic events, so this is not just a generic bracket being asked to do structural work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThe kit format matters too. Instead of buying connectors and masonry screws separately, the S\/HGAM10KT comes packaged with ten S\/HGAM10 connectors and forty 1\/4 inch x 2-3\/4 inch Titen Turbo screws. For a crew, that means less guesswork at install time and fewer chances of mixing in the wrong anchor. Simpson is clear that the correct fasteners in the correct positions must be used to achieve published load values, so having the specified masonry screws in the kit is a real advantage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eMaterial and finish are straightforward and jobsite appropriate. The connector is made from 68 mil, 14 gauge steel and finished with G90 zinc galvanizing. In practical terms, that gives you a formed steel connector with the thickness expected for this kind of structural tie and a galvanized coating suited to general building use where corrosion protection matters. This is the kind of hardware used because it is designed around a tested connection, not because it merely fits the space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eInstallation is aimed at masonry conditions. Simpson calls for attachment to CMU or concrete using hex-head Titen Turbo screws, and for grout-filled CMU with a minimum of one number 5 horizontal rebar in the top lintel block. That detail matters because the connector is only part of the system. The masonry condition, the specified fasteners, and the backing structure all work together to deliver the published performance. Simpson also notes that hurricane ties do not replace solid blocking, which is worth remembering when you are laying out the full assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003ePublished allowable uplift loads in the provided data are 810 and 850, depending on the attachment condition shown in the source table. The point is simple: this connector is intended for real structural load paths, not light-duty attachment. If your application is tying cold-formed steel roof framing back to masonry in a wind-prone area, the numbers and installation requirements are what make this product relevant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eAs for fit and layout, the connector dimensions shown are 3-1\/2 inches wide, 3 inches high, and 3 inches deep. That compact footprint helps when working near the top of a masonry wall under a truss or track, where space is limited and placement needs to stay consistent. The image also shows the hole pattern and gusseted shape clearly, which gives installers a better idea of how the connector bears and fastens in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThis product makes the most sense for contractors and builders working in cold-formed steel construction, especially in hurricane-prone or seismic regions. It is also a good fit for projects that need a packaged, spec-driven connector solution instead of piecing together a field workaround. If you need a tested masonry tie for a gable end truss or similar framing member, this is the kind of connector you buy because the application is specific and the load path matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\" open\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for Structural Tie-Back\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\n          \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ssttoolbox.widen.net\/content\/ovtp77neha\/jpeg\/CF_S-HGAM10KT_ProdIll_Ill_Prod_GussetAngle_CY.jpeg?position=c\u0026amp;color=ffffffff\u0026amp;u=cjmyin\" alt=\"Simpson Strong-Tie S\/HGAM10KT Hurricane Gusset Angle for Masonry with Screws product illustration showing the gusseted connector shape, hole layout, and 3 inch by 3 inch by 3-1\/2 inch dimensions for structural masonry fastening\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n          \u003cp\u003eThis connector is built around the kind of loading that causes problems at roof edges and gable ends.
