The patent-pending HDUE holdown is designed to meet the increased design demands of today’s residential wood structures, including three-story homes with more windows and limited shearwall space. Offering higher load capacities than previous models, the HDUE serves as an easy one-to-one replacement for our industry-leading HDU. This holdown provides exceptional overturning resistance for shearwalls, braced wall panels and other lateral-force-resisting applications in wood construction.

The HDUE features a predeflected seat that reduces deflection under load, an overlapping back plate for increased strength and optimized screw patterns to prevent splitting. It’s tested to ICC-ES AC155 standards. The higher-capacity models combine fasteners in both shear and tension while reducing the number of screws required. The HDUE installs with Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, minimizing fastener slip and preserving the wood post’s net section better than bolts. Available in multiple sizes, the HDUE accommodates a wide range of load requirements.

Installation

• Install at least one perpendicular Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector Screw (included) into the wood member to set the holdown
• Install the remaining screws, including both perpendicular and angled screws, into all holes (both round and tabbed) in the wood member
• Place and orientate the crescent washer over the anchor bolt
  Anchor bolt nut should be finger tight plus 1/3 to 1/2 turn with a hand wrench
