Installation in CMU

The variable-pitch girder tiedown, S/VGT2.5, is a high-capacity tiedown for single-or multi-ply CFS girder trusses. It attaches with self-drilling screws from the side of the truss. The VGT uses Simpson Strong-Tie SDS series screws for wood truss applications. They both feature a predeflected crescent washer which allows them to accommodate top-chord pitches up to 8/12.

Material: 171 mil (7 ga)

Finish: Galvanized

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners.
Screw holes are configured to allow for double installation on multi-member girders.
Install washer component (provided) so that top of washer is horizontal and parallel with top of wall.

Designer shall ensure attached members are adequately designed to resist applied loads.
Straight-line interpolation can be used to determine allowable loads for pitches between 3/12 and 8/12.
Allowable loads on wood have been increased 60% for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other load duration factors govern.
