Installation
1.Allowable loads are for one anchor attached to blocking minimum 1 thick.
2.RBC can be installed with up to gap and achieve 100% of the listed load.
3.Allowable loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed;
reduce where other loads govern.
4.When attaching to concrete use 3- x1 Titens.
5.RBC installed over 1" foamboard has a load of 395 lb. (133/160%) in a parallel to wall (F
1) load direction for Douglas Fir.
For SPF, the load is 340 lb.
6. NAILS: 10dx1 0.148" dia. x 1 long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information.

2 Typical RBC Installation
The RBC Roof Boundary Clip is designed to aid installation
and transfer shear loads between the roof diaphragm and wall
top plates. The locator tabs make proper location of the clip easy.
The RBC can be used on wood or masonry walls and will handle
roof pitches from 0:12 to 12:12.
MATERIAL: 20 gauge FINISH: Galvanized
INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
Field bend to desired angle one time only.
See flier F-RBC04 for more information on installation
and code requirements.
CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.
The RBC installed to blocking resists rotation
and lateral displacement of rafter or truss.

Z2 clips secure 2x4 flat blocking between joists or trusses
to support sheathing.
MATERIAL: Z clips-see table. A21 and A23-18 ga.;
all other A angles-12 ga.
FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in stainless steel or Z-MAX;
see Corrosion-Resistance, page 6-7.
INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
Z clips do not provide lateral stability. Do not walk on stiffeners or
apply load until diaphragm is installed and nailed to stiffeners.
CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.
