Framing anchors, hangers and ties are used for anchoring rafters and trusses to plates, floor and ceiling joists to headers, and solid blocking to plates. Framing anchors are typically made from sheet metal, and have pre-punched holes to accept nails. Anchors provide an accurate and positive connected between wood pieces by allowing the nails to secure the framing anchor to load laterally, rather than in partial withdrawal. Framing anchors are commonly used in framing construction for protection against strong winds and other forces.
Selecting framing anchors, hangers and ties requires an understanding of application requirements. Anchors are suitable for most joints in framing wood 2-ft. (38 mm) and thicker. The load capacity for framing anchors is affected by the steel thickness selected. 18-gauge zinc-coated sheet steel is common in standard framing anchors. For medium or heavy-duty anchors, the zinc-covered sheet steel is often 12-gauge or 7-gauge. Framing anchors come with special nails, which are required for use with each anchor to provide the load carrying capacity and avoiding eccentricity.
