A metal connector that securely ties together sheathing and the underlying structural members on a wood frame house. The connector correctly spaces each adjoining sheet with a slight gap to avoid buckling. The connector has a large surface area above the sheathing with precise nailholes to avoid sheathing splitting and assuring correct attachment to the underlying structural member. The connector can be used on roofs, walls, and floors. The connector grasps the sheathing and wraps around structural members to avoid detachment during hurricanes. The connector fashions sheathing into strong shearwalls to avoid building damage during earthquakes.
