Typical STC Installation with DS

Nails should not be driven completely flush against the connector, to allow vertical truss movement.

For alignment control between a roof truss and nonbearing walls; the 1 1/2" slot permits vertical truss chord movement when loads are applied.

Material: 18 gauge.

Finish: Galvanized.

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
Use STC or DTC depending on required loads. STC, installed with Drywall Stop (DS), helps prevent fasteners tearing through the ceiling sheetrock (see illustration).
Use STCT where truss or rafter is separated from the top plate of the nonbearing wall.
Install slot nails in the middle of the slot.

Loads may not be increased for short-term loading.
Truss or rafter must be bearing on top plate to achieve the allowable loads under "WITHOUT GAP."
Clips are required on both sides of the truss to achieve F₁ loads in both directions (stagger parts to avoid nail interferences).
Nails: 8d = 0.131" dia. x 2 1/2" long. See other nail sizes and information.
