Installation

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.
