Can be used for both terminal and right or left hand hip applications. MATERIAL: 12 gauge. FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. All multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit. Should be attached to a double girder truss to allow for required minimum nail penetration. With single 2x carrying members, use 10dx1 nails with 0.67 of the table values. For terminal installation, distribute 40% of total load to each hip member and 20% to the jack. For left or right hand hip installation, distribute 65% to 85% of total load to the hip member. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart. 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. Wind (133) is a download rating. 4. 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. 5. Combine hip and jack loads for total capacity. For terminal hips divide the total allowable load by 2 to determine the allowable load for each hip. 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: 16d 0.162" dia. x 3 long, 10dx1 0.148" dia. x 1 long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information.
