The new Simpson Strong-Tie® Garage Portal Connection Kit (SSWP-KT) improves the performance of standard Steel Strong-Wall® shearwalls in a garage portal application. It provides extra strength and rigidity at the connection between the shearwall and the header, resulting in higher loads and reduced concrete anchorage requirements (less digging). The kit includes two straps and self-drilling fasteners to attach the strap to the shearwall, and uses the standard Steel Strong-Wall anchor-bolt template.
