This is a \u003cstrong\u003ecoiled strap\u003c\/strong\u003e designed for \u003cstrong\u003eresisting tension and uplift loads\u003c\/strong\u003e in structural wood framing. Model \u003cstrong\u003eCS16\u003c\/strong\u003e gives you a 16-gauge strap that can be cut on site for the exact length your layout calls for, which is the whole point of using a coil instead of a pile of fixed straps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIn practical terms, the CS16 is meant for jobs where the connector length changes from one location to the next or where field conditions are not perfectly predictable. Simpson rates this series for uses such as roof uplift resistance and shear wall overturning resistance, and the product description also calls out floor-to-floor and horizontal tension applications. If you are tying framing members together across a custom span, this style of strap gives you more flexibility than pre-cut pieces while still keeping the connection simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe CS16 uses \u003cstrong\u003e16-gauge steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, measures \u003cstrong\u003e1-1\/4 in. wide\u003c\/strong\u003e, and comes in a \u003cstrong\u003e150 ft. coil\u003c\/strong\u003e. That width is sized to fit nominal 2x lumber, so it works cleanly in common framing layouts without overhanging the member. The galvanized \u003cstrong\u003eG90\u003c\/strong\u003e coating adds corrosion resistance for standard building applications, which matters because these straps are often buried in wall, floor, or roof assemblies where you want a connector that can hold up over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOne of the big advantages here is jobsite control. Because the strap is continuous, you can cut the exact length needed for the clear span plus the required end lengths shown by Simpson's installation guidance. That makes the CS16 useful when you are dealing with uplift paths, diaphragm chord work, or drag elements where a standard off-the-shelf strap length is either too short or wastes material. Simpson also provides lap splice guidance for extending strap lengths in continuous applications, which gives the engineer and installer more design flexibility when the run gets longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFastener layout matters with this kind of connector, and Simpson is pretty clear about that. The published data says to use all specified fasteners to achieve the listed loads, and the load table shows that allowable capacity depends on the nailing schedule and wood species group. For the CS16, the published allowable tension load reaches \u003cstrong\u003e1,705 lb\u003c\/strong\u003e with the listed fastener schedules. That is why this strap is not just a piece of perforated steel. The strap, the fastener count, the end length, and the installation pattern all work together as a system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eAs for who should buy it, this is aimed at framers, builders, remodelers, and engineers dealing with structural wood connections, not general-purpose repair work where a light mending plate would do the job. If you need a continuous utility strap for fastening wood to wood, want the freedom to cut length on site, and are working from Simpson load data instead of guessing, the CS16 is the right kind of hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits-1\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilt For Field-Cut Structural Runs\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\/tp3bt3pqwu\/jpeg\/CF_CS_InstIll_Ill_Inst_CoiledStrap-Floor-to-Floor_CY.jpeg?position=c\u0026amp;color=ffffffff\u0026amp;u=cjmyin\" alt=\"Simpson Strong-Tie CS16 Coiled Strap shown in a floor-to-floor wood framing illustration with cut length, clear span, and end length placement for structural fastening\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThe main reason to use a coiled strap instead of a fixed strap is simple: you cut the length the framing actually needs.
