Installation:

Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
The total load must be symmetrically distributed about the centerline to avoid eccentric loading of the connector.

Allowable loads have been increased 60% for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern.
Hip loads are for each hip.
Load distribution is 45% for each hip and 10% for jack. Other hip/jack load distributions are allowed if the sum of all three carried members does not exceed the total load and the hip members are equally loaded.
Truss chord cross-grain tension may limit allowable loads. Refer to Technical Bulletins: T-ANSITPISPF and T-ANSITPISP and T-ANSITPIDF for allowable loads that consider ANSI/TPI 1-2007 wood member design criteria.
NAILS: 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 1/2 = 0.148" dia. x 1 1/2" long. See other nail sizes and information.
