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 (43 mil)

Finish

  • Galvanized

Installation

  • Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
  • Use STC or DTC depending on required loads. STC, installed with DS drywall stop, helps prevent fasteners tearing through the ceiling drywall (see installation 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.
  • Products not intended for floor applications due to the frequency of floor joist deflections and potential for squeaks.

Load Tables

  1. Loads may not be increased for duration of load.
  2. Truss or rafter must bear on top plate to achieve the allowable loads under "Without Gap."
  3. Clips are required on both sides of the truss to achieve F1 loads in both directions (stagger parts to avoid nail interferences).
  4. Fasteners: Nail dimensions in the table are listed diameter by length. For additional information, see Fastener Types and Sizes Specified for Simpson Strong-Tie Connectors.
