RE: Ties/Connectors
I always spec. the Simpson connectors because they have such a complete line and do such a good job of keeping up with new developments. They also have Connector Selector software to help find the right connector; you imput the loads, the type of connection members and they output a list of connnectors based on the most cost effective one.

but add 'or USP equivilent/better'
The builder can then make a cost-value decision.
USP does have a .DWG 'equivilent table' available.
RE: Ties/Connectors
As an engineer I prefer Simpson products, however USP has some good products that Simpson doesn't carry. The reason I prefer Simpson is because I feel they are very devoted to the commercial market. I've always felt that USP focused more on the residental market.
