Wood Construction Connectors
DISCONTINUED PRODUCTS Products that will be discontinued in 2013 Simpson Strong-Tie is dedicated to continuously expanding our line of structural connectors with innovative new products that address the changing needs of our customers. As new connectors are introduced that improve upon older designs, it becomes necessary to discontinue the old versions in the name of efficiency and product-line simplicity. The table below lists products that are no longer included in the Wood Construction Connectors catalog as well as the products recommended to replace them. While technical information for discontinued products will be maintained on our website for a number of months, Simpson Strong-Tie asks that our customers begin to substitute the replacement products shown below in their designs and inventories. While it is hard to say when they will no longer be available from our distribution partners, production of some of these connectors ended in 2012 and others will be phased out of production in 2013. Verify with Designer prior to substituting replacement product for specified product. For the most current information on discontinued products visit www.strongtie.com/discontinued. If you have questions about any of the products shown below, please call (800) 999-5099 for assistance. Discontinued Product
