For MSCPT2 and MSCPT2-2 models, allowable hip loads are 0.40 x Total Loads, and Jack Loads are 0.20 x Total Loads. 2. Uplift loads include a 33% and 60% increase for earthquake or wind loading, with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern. 3. Wind (133) is a download rating. 4. NAILS: 16d 0.162" dia. x 3 long, 10d 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 0.148" dia. x 1 long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information. The MSCPT is a welded hanger designed to carry up to three trusses intersecting at one point into a double ply girder truss. The top flange is notched at the center to accommodate vertical and diagonal web members in the girder truss. MATERIAL: Top flange-3 gauge; stirrup-11 gauge (MSCPT2, MSCPT2N), 7 gauge (MSCPT2-2, MSCPT2-2N). FINISH: Simpson gray paint. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. The total load must be evenly distributed about the centerline to avoid eccentric loading. All multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit. Minimum vertical carrying member sizes are 2x6 for MSCPT2 and MSCPT2N, and 2x8 for MSCPT2-2 and MSCPT2-2N. Minimum carrying member bottom chord is 2x6. OPTIONS: H1 and H2 may be increased for alignment with larger bottom chords. Hip stirrups can be skewed from 25 to 45 . The W1 and W2 of the MSCPT2 may be increased up to 3 ", provided the stirrups configuration remains symmetrical. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

SDS screws minimum penetration is 1 ", minimum end distance is 2 and minimum edge distance is for full load values. 4. Lag screws will not achieve table loads. 5.Strong-Drive screws are permitted to be installed through metal truss plates as approved by the Truss Designer, provided the requirements of ANSI/TPI 1-2002 Section 8.10 are met (pre-drilling required). MATERIAL: 3 gauge FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes. Screws are provided. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.
