Thanks for the reminder. I think they're likely there, since South
Carolina has adopted 2006 and 2012 international building codes
(Hurricane Hugo was a wake-up call). But I will check. These are the
specific straps used (by brand) on the trusses. I assume they also use
the same manufacturers straps for the stud tie-down to the sill plate
but I will check.
