5/8 in. RTUD Ratcheting Zinc-Plated Take-Up Device | SIM-RTUD5

Simpson Strong-Tie's 5/8 in. RTUD Ratcheting Take-Up Device provides an efficient method for tensioning anchor tie-down assemblies without relying on improvised adjustment methods. The ratcheting action allows the installer to incrementally take up slack in the system, helping establish the specified tension within a compatible structural tie-down assembly. This device is intended for integration with Simpson Strong-Tie anchoring components and should be installed according to the manufacturer's engineering requirements and applicable project specifications. Its durable steel construction and purpose-built design make it appropriate for structural connection work involving foundation anchorage, uplift resistance, and wood-frame tie-down systems where proper installation and tensioning are essential.

• A ratcheting mechanism provides controlled take-up for compatible anchor tie-down assemblies
• The 5/8 in. configuration is designed for use with appropriately sized structural anchoring components
• Steel construction provides the durability required for demanding construction and structural connection applications
• Incremental tensioning helps installers remove slack and establish the specified tie-down tension
• Simpson Strong-Tie system compatibility makes the RTUD5 suitable for engineered anchor tie-down applications
