Product Overview

FGTRHL Retrofit Girder Tiedown

The LGT, VGT and FGTR products are moderate- to high-load capacity girder tiedowns for new or retrofit applications.

LGT connectors provide a low-profile connection to the wall for easy installation of drywall. Simple to install and can be installed on the inside or outside of the wall.

The VGT variable girder tiedown is a higher-capacity alternative to the LGT and MGT for girder trusses. It attaches with Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws to the side of truss and features a predeflected crescent washer that allows it to accommodate top chord pitches up to 8/12. The VGT is also available with one flange concealed for attachment to trusses with no tail.

The FGTR face-mount girder tiedown is a non-pitch specific girder tiedown that offers the highest uplift capacity for retrofit applications. The FGTRHL/R is designed for corner hip applications.

VGT/FGTR:

Screw holes are configured to allow for double installation on a two-ply (minimum) truss.

The product can be installed in a single application or in pairs to achieve a higher uplift capacity.

Can be installed on roof pitches up to 8/12 or on a bottom chord designed to transfer the loads.

FGTR — only two of the four holes provided on each strap are required to be filled to achieve the published loads. The first Titen HD anchor 1/2" x 5" (THD) shall be installed a minimum of 4" from the top of the wall. Anchors shall not be installed in adjacent holes.

VGT — when installed on trusses with no overhangs, specify VGTR/L.
