Next-Gen Strength: Meet the New HDUE Holdown

Introducing the HDUE Holdown

The patent-pending HDUE is the next generation of holdown technology — engineered for residential and light-frame commercial construction. Building on the legacy of the HDU, the HDUE offers closely aligned dimensions with significantly enhanced performance and stiffness.

Why specify the HDUE?

  • Full compliance: US code-listed with ICC evaluation for total peace of mind.
  • Superior engineering: Features an extruded seat and overlapping back plate for maximum durability.
  • Smarter load distribution: Innovative teardrop-shaped holes and heavy-duty washers transfer high loads more effectively.
  • Efficiency in installation: Uses a combination of perpendicular and angled fasteners to achieve high capacities with fewer screws.

Available sizes and capacities

Rated for load capacities ranging from ~40kN to 100kN, the HDUE is available in three sizes:

  • HDUE9
  • HDUE13
  • HDUE17
