The LSTHD is an embedded strap-tie holdown with features that aid correct installation and improve performance in both wood and cold-formed steel construction. When installed on the forms with the StrapMate strap holder or other holding device, the unique design of this light cast-in-place strap-tie holdown delivers enhanced stability before and during the pour to help prevent both parallel and perpendicular movement.
