Safe cost-effective way to attach deck-railing posts to the deck framing • The post is tied back into the deck joists, rather than to the rim joist alone • Connection is stronger than typical through-bolt installations • Can be used for laterally tying the deck to the house • Load rated as a hold down for light-duty shear walls and braced wall panel applications • Fastens easily to a single 2x joist or stud using 8 - SDS 1/4" x 1-1/2" screws (included) • Accepts a 1/2" machine bolt or anchor bolt
