ZMAX Lateral Tie Plate (Model LTP4Z)

The ZMAX Lateral Tie Plate delivers dependable shear-force transfer for top-plate-to-rim-joist or blocking connections. Constructed from 20-gauge steel and finished with a ZMAX® coating, this tie plate resists corrosion in exterior and treated-wood applications. Strategically spaced nail holes prevent wood splitting in both single and double-top-plate installations, and its low-profile design allows installation directly over plywood sheathing for added versatility.

Ideal for professional builders and DIY enthusiasts alike, the LTP4Z tie plate ensures robust structural reinforcement where it matters most.
