Code
Ref.
The H16-2 series has a presloped seat of 5:12 for double trusses.
The H connector series provides wind and seismic ties for trusses and rafters.
The presloped seat of the H16 provides for a tight fit and reduced deflection.
The strap length provides for various truss height up to a maximum of 13 "
(H16 series). Minimum heel height for H16 series is 4".
The HGA10 attaches to gable trusses and provides good lateral wind resistance.
The HS24 attaches the bottom chord of a truss or rafter at pitches from 0:12 to 4:12
to double 2x4 top plates. Double shear nailing allows for higher lateral resistance.
MATERIAL: See table
FINISH: Galvanized. See Corrosion-Resistance, page 6-7.
INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
The HGA10KT: screws are provided.
HS24 requires slant nailing only when bottom chord of truss
or rafter has no slope.
Hurricane Ties do not replace solid blocking.
CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.
1.Loads have been increased for earthquake or wind loading with no
further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern.
2.When cross-grain bending or cross-grain tension cannot be avoided,
mechanical reinforcement to resist such forces should be considered.
3.HS24 allowable loads without slant nailing are 625 lbs (uplift),
590 lbs (F1), 640 lbs (F2).
4.For H16-2S, S short.
5. NAILS: 10dx1 0.148" dia. x 1 long,
8d 0.131" dia. x 2 long,
8dx1 0.131" dia. x 1 long.
See page 16-17 for other nail sizes
and information.
