HDUE3-SDS3 8-11/16" Pre-deflected Hold Down with 3" SDS Screws

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.

Tested per ICC-ES AC155, the higher-capacity models combine fasteners in both shear and tension while reducing the number of screws required. The HDUE is fast and easy to install with Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (included), 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.
