FTA/LFTA Floor Tie Anchors Designed for use as a floor-to-floor tension tie, one FTA replaces two comparably sized holdowns and the threaded rod. The LFTA Light Floor Tie Anchor is for nailed installations. MATERIAL: See table FINISH: LFTA–galvanized; FTA–Simpson Strong-Tie® gray paint INSTALLATION: • Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. • Washers required on side opposite FTA for full loads. • Nail holes between floors allow preattachment to the joist during installation; these nails are not required. OPTIONS: • The standard model’s clear span of 17" will accommodate up to a 12" joist. The clear span of the FTA may be increased with a corresponding increase in overall length. CODES: See page 12 for Code Reference Key Chart.
