Simpson Strong-Tie MDSS96 MDSS 5-3/4 in. x 95-1/2 in. Galvanized Diaphragm Spline Strap

Simpson Strong-Tie MDSS96 MDSS 5-3/4 in. x 95-1/2 in. Galvanized Diaphragm Spline Strap

The MDSS96 surface spline is 95-1/2 in. long, is attached with Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws and is an ideal solution for CLT diaphragms. For CLT manufacturers, it reduces costs by eliminating or reducing time for milling at panel edges. And since our tabulated values are based on tests, not just calculations, Designers can value-engineer a solution using fewer screws than calculated solutions would allow.

This Simpson product is designed for construction, connector, fastening, anchoring, and structural applications where dependable performance, durability, and jobsite-ready installation matter.
