DECK-TO-BUILDING LATERAL-LOAD CONNECTOR

摘要

A device for connecting an exterior deck structure to a contiguous building has a pair of interlocked cables, with a plastic plug encapsulating the interlocked ends of the cables and separating the cables to act as a thermal barrier. An expanded head at one end of the plug, with associated foam washer seals against a deck header, while the exterior cable end of the device is connected to a deck joist and the interior end of the cable device is connected to a building joist, wherein the joists may be laterally offset.
