3-1/2 in. x 5-1/16 in. SP1Z ZMAX® Stud Plate, 20 ga. | SIM-SP1Z

Simpson StrongTie's SP1Z ZMAX Stud Plate bridges traditional efficiency with structural integrity, reinforcing the vertical load path with minimal fuss and maximum reliability. The ZMAX finish fortifies the steel against moisture and environmental exposure, while the sturdy 20gauge body and embossed design deliver load-rated performance where it matters most. The SP1Zs studtosill configuration is popular on high-wind coastal builds and earthquake-sensitive regions, delivering assurance in every board-to-plate connection. By maintaining a compact footprint without sacrificing strength, the SP1Z promotes cleaner, safer wall assemblies and consistent compliance with building codes.
