Optional TC26 Installation for Grouted Concrete Block using Titen^® Screws

The TC truss connector is an ideal connector for scissor trusses and can allow horizontal movement up to 1 1/4". The TC also attaches plated trusses to top plates or sill plates to resist uplift forces. Typically used on one or both ends of truss as determined by the Designer.

Material: 16 gauge

Finish: Galvanized

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
Drive 10d nails into the truss at the inside end of the slotted holes (inside end is towards the center of the truss). Do not seat these nails into the truss - allow room under the nail head for movement of the truss with respect to the wall.
After installation of roofing materials nails may be required to be fully seated into the truss. (As required by the Designer or Truss Designer.)

Optional TC Installation

Bend one flange up 90°. Drive specified nails into the top and face of the top plates or install Titen^® screws into the top and face of masonry wall. See optional load tables and installation details.

Nail values based on single 2x truss.
Optional TC26 installation with 10d nails requires minimum 3" top plate thickness.
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.
