Truss Clip

DTC truss clip is used to provide alignment control between a roof truss and non-bearing walls.

The 38mm slot permits vertical truss chord movement when loads are applied.

To allow for vertical truss movement, fasteners into the truss or rafter should not be driven completely flush against the connector

1. Truss to rafter must bear on top plate to acheive the aloowable loads under 'without gap'

2. Clips are required on both sides of the truss to acheive F1 loads in both directions (stagger parts to avoid nail interferences)

3. Install slot nails in the middle sof the slot. Nails should not be driven completley flush against the connector to allow for vertical truss movement.

4. Products not intended for floor applications due to the frequency of floor joist deflections and potential for sqeaks

5. Allow up to the 1.5mm gap between nail head and truss clip to help prevent squeaking
