MSCPT Multiple Truss Hangers

The MSCPT is a high capacity, top flange welded hanger designed to carry 2 or 3 trusses in a terminal hip installation. The top flange is notched at the center to accommodate vertical and diagonal web members in the girder truss.

Material: Top flange - 3 gauge; stirrup - 11 gauge (MSCPT2, MSCPT2N), 7 gauge (MSCPT2-2, MSCPT2-2N).

Finish: Simpson gray paint.

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
The total load must be evenly distributed about the centerline to avoid eccentric loading.
All multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit.
Minimum vertical carrying member sizes are 2x6 for MSCPT2 and MSCPT2N, and 2x8 for MSCPT2-2 and MSCPT2-2N.
Minimum carrying member bottom chord is 2x6.

Options:

H₁ and H₂ may be increased for alignment with larger bottom chords.
Hip stirrups can be skewed from 25° to 45°.
The W₁ and W₂ of the MSCPT2 may be increased up to 3 7/16", provided the stirrups' configuration remains symmetrical.

For MSCPT2 and MSCPT2-2 models, allowable hip loads are 0.40 x Total Loads, and Jack Loads are 0.20 x Total Loads.
Uplift loads include a 33% and 60% increase for earthquake or wind loading, with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern.
Wind (133/160) is a download rating.
NAILS: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3 1/2" long, 10dx1 1/2 = 0.148" dia. x 1 1/2" long. See other nail sizes and information.
