This product is only available in Canada
Product Details
The CP transfers load from the truss or girder to plates for bearing limited conditions. Replaces nail-on scabs or in some cases, an additional ply when needed for bearing.
Material
- See table
Finish
- Galvanized
Installation
- Use all specified fasteners
- For Case 1, truss plates must be located a maximum of 1/4" from the underside of the truss chord and a maximum of 1/4" from the edge of the wall plates in accordance with the reinforcing requirements of 7.5.9 TPIC 2014
Design Instructions
- Factored resistances are in accordance with CSA O86-14 assuming Qr/Ab and Qr'/Ab' = 812 psi for D.Fir–L and 615 psi for S-P-F. See clauses 6.5.4 and 7.5.9 TPIC 2014 when compression loads are applied to both sides of truss chord members at bearing locations.

- Factored bearing resistances assume wall plate and truss are the same species. For a mixed species system use S-P-F values.
- Nails: 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10d x 1 1/2" = 0.148" dia. x 1 1/2" long. See other nail sizes and information.
