According to IRC, anchorage of a chimney into the house framing is required in higher seismic zones. I know there is some debate about this but I am looking for a specific steel product that would be used for this and some details about how this anchorage is actually be achieved in the wood framing adjacent to a chimney.
Any links for specific products or details of this connection?
Thanks

Please be specific about the material of the chimney: brick, block or concrete. The connection, like all connections, depends on your geometry. Sketch up what you're talking about and post it.
