Description
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
- Loads may not be increased for duration of load.
- Truss or rafter must bear 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).
- 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.
