NEW! TJC37 is a versatile connector for jack trusses. Adjustable from 0 to 67.5 degree (shipped with 67.5 degree bend). Nail hole locations allow for easy installation. Minimum nailing option provides faster installation and lower installed cost. MATERIAL: 16 gauge. FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes. Can be installed filling round holes only, or filling round and triangle holes for maximum values. To reduce the potential for splitting, install the TJC37 with a minimum " edge distance on the chord members (must be centered on 2x4 chords). Position the jack truss on the inside of the bend line with the end of the jack truss flush with the bend line. Bend the TJC37 to the desired position (one bend cycle only). No bevel cut required. Applications involving attachment of TJC37 to the top chord requires minimium 2x6 carrying member for jack truss pitches up to 7:12, and 2x8 or larger for pitches greater than 7:12.

LTHMA Multiple Truss Hangers A single-piece connector designed to carry multiple truss members off girder trusses with 2x4 or 2x6 bottom chords. MATERIAL: 16 gauge. FINISH: Galvanized. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. The total load must be symmetrically distributed about the centerline to avoid eccentric loading of the connector. Fill round holes for girder trusses with 2x4 bottom chords. Fill round and triangle holes for girder trusses with 2x6 bottom chords. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

Code Ref. 6, 121 LTHMA 1. Allowable loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern. 2. Hip loads are for each hip. 3. Other hip/jack load distributions are allowed if the sum of all three carried members does not exceed the total load and the hip members are equally loaded. 4. Load distribution is 45% for each hip and 10% for jack. 5. Wind (133) is a download rating. 6. Truss chord cross-grain tension may limit allowable loads. Refer to Technical Bulletins T-ANSITPISPF, T-ANSITPISP and T-ANSITPIDF for allowable loads that consider ANSI/TPI 1-2002 wood member design criteria. 7. NAILS: 10d 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 0.148" dia. x 1 long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information. Typical LTHMA Installation 132 Plated Truss Connectors TJC37 Jack Truss Connector
