Deck Post Connector

The DTT2 is a 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; the connection is stronger than typical through-bolt installations and complies with IRC and IBC code requirements regarding handrail and guardrail post connections for decks.
• The DTT2 also complies with the new IRC requirements for laterally tying the deck to the house.
• Additionally, the versatile DTT2 is load rated as a holdown for light-duty shearwalls and braced wall panel applications.
• The DTT2 fastens easily to a single 2x joist or stud using Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive screws (SDS) (included) and accepts a 1/2" machine bolt or anchor bolt.
• 14-gauge galvanized ZMAX steel.
