Nail values based on single 2x truss. 4. Optional TC26 installation with 10d nails requires minimum 3² top plate thickness. 5. 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. OPTIONAL TC INSTALLATION TABLE Alternate Installation Allowable Down Loads are 0.80 of the TBE only table loads on page 142. The TC truss connector is an ideal connector for scissor trusses and can allow horizontal movement up to 1 ". The TC also attaches plated trusses to top plates or sill plates to resist uplift forces. Typically used on one or both ends of truss as determined by the Designer. MATERIAL: 16 gauge FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Drive 10d nails into the truss at the inside end of the slotted holes (inside end is towards the center of the truss). Do not seat these nails into the truss-allow room under the nail head for movement of the truss with respect to the wall. After installation of roofing materials nails may be required to be fully seated into the truss. (As required by the Designer or Truss Designer.) Optional TC Installation Bend one flange up 90 . Drive specified nails into the top and face of the top plates or install Titen screws into the top and face of masonry wall. See optional load tables and installation details.
