HDUE3 3 in. x 8-11/16 in. 14-Gauge Galvanized Predeflected Holdown Strong-Drive SDS Screws

The Simpson Strong-Tie HDUE holdown delivers exceptional strength and reliability for securing shearwalls, braced wall panels and other lateral-force-resisting applications in wood construction. It features a predeflected seat that reduces deflection under load, an overlapping back plate for increased strength and optimized screw patterns to prevent splitting, ensuring superior performance. Installation is fast and efficient with Simpson Strong-Tie Strong‑Drive SDS Heavy‑Duty Connector screws, making it a dependable choice for modern residential construction. Predeflected seat reduces deflection under load Overlapping back plate increases fastener strength and shear values, helping prevent post splitting Optimized screw patterns reduce splitting at the end of the post and maximize individual fastener capacity Extruded seat adds a greater cross-sectional steel section for added strength Teardrop holes allow higher and more even distribution of load Height: 8-11/16 in. Made from 14-gauge steel Galvanized (G90) for corrosion resistance Install with 5/8 in. anchor bolt and (7) 1/4 in. x 3 in. strong-drive SDS heavy-duty connector screws (included)
