Step 1:  Install bearing plate onto the underside of the truss bearing area (seat of a birdsmouth cut)

Step 2:  Position the glide shoe onto the wall plate, ensuring the face of the glide shoe is tight to the inside face of the wall plate.  Nail the glide show to the face of the wal plate with 6 No 3.75x30mm galvanised, or sheradised, square twist nails.

Step 3:  Nail the glide shoe to the top of the wall plate with 4 No 3.75x30mm galvanised, or sheradised, square twist nails.

Step 4:  Locate truss into glide shoe.

Step 5:  Nail through the two slotted holes in the side of the glide shoe with 1 No 3.75x30mm galvanised, or sheradised, square twist nail, in each slot.  Ensure the nail is positioned at the innermost point of the slot, to ensure maximum deflection of the rafter

Step 6:  Once the truss has been fully loaded (ie the roof has been tiled) and full deflection achieved, fill all side flange round holes with 3.75x30mm galvanised, or sheradised, square twist nails.

Note:  the glide shoe is designed to ensure the rafter is allowed to deflection during the construction phase, ensuring no horizontal trust is transfered to the wall plate.
