DECK TIE KIT COATED

The coated and stainless steel deck tension ties provide strong, reliable lateral load connections that help decks meet the International Residential Code (IRC) requirement for a 750 lb. connection to the supporting structure at four locations per deck, as outlined in the 2015, 2018, 2021, and 2024 IRC R507.9.2(2). These connectors are ideal for both new construction and retrofits, offering a safe and code-compliant way to secure decks to homes—without the need to access interior floor joists. With models available in coated and Type 316 stainless steel, the deck tie kit series offers flexibility for a range of environmental conditions.

The deck tie kit is a coated tension tie designed for typical deck applications. It installs on the narrow or wide face of a single 2x joist using connector screws or nails, and can be anchored with a 3/8" bolt, lag screw (with washer). For added convenience, the deck tie is also available in the DTT1Z-KT kit, which includes (4) DTT1Z connectors, (4)  Timber-Hex HDG screws, and (26) #9 x 1 1/2" connector screws—providing a complete hardware solution for one code-compliant deck installation.

The deck tie in stainless steel offers the same trusted design and installation flexibility as the coated, but is made from 316 stainless-steel for superior corrosion resistance. It’s ideal for coastal construction, high-moisture areas, and preservative-treated wood applications where zinc coatings may not be sufficient. The stainless steel kit is a four-piece kit packaged with all necessary stainless-steel hardware to meet IRC code requirements for four 750 lb. lateral load connections—supporting one complete deck installation. This includes (4) DTT1SS connectors, (4) TIMBER-HEX SS screws with (4) 3/8" 316 stainless-steel washers for the deck-to-house lateral load connection, and (26) #9 x 1 1/2" connector SS screws for anchoring the stainless deck tie to the deck joist. The deck tie offers an all-in-one pre-packaged solution with everything you need to ensure your new or existing deck is code-compliant and ready to withstand the toughest corrosive environments.

Both coated and stainless steel deck tie connectors deliver reliable performance and code compliance in a familiar format, giving contractors the strength, flexibility and corrosion resistance they need—whether the jobsite is inland or on the coast.
