PLATED TRUSSINSTALLATION GUIDEGENERAL NOTESThis installation guide lists the most common <strong>USP</strong> plated trussinstallations. Refer to <strong>USP</strong>’s current Full Line Catalog for detailedhanger information and additional installation options. Consult theplated truss fabricator for information concerning the use of theirproducts. <strong>USP</strong> Structural <strong>Connectors</strong> ® does not express, and willnot accept, responsibility for any wood component including, butnot limited to, bearing blocks and backing blocks.Use proper safety equipment during connector installations.Always wear gloves when handling connectors.The type and quantity of fasteners used to install <strong>USP</strong> products iscritical to connector performance. To achieve the allowable loads,NA NAI Linstall with the fasteners specified.Drill bolt holes a minimum of 1⁄ 32˝ and a maximum of 1⁄ 16˝ largerthan the diameter of the bolt to be installed (per the 2005 NDS ® ,Section 11.1.2).NAILS<strong>USP</strong> Wire NailStock No. 2 Ref.

Refer to <strong>USP</strong> Technical Bulletins;<strong>USP</strong>829 – Halsteel, <strong>USP</strong>812 – Paslode, and <strong>USP</strong>814 – Senco, forspecific instructions. <strong>USP</strong> recommends the use of nail gunsfeaturing hole-locating mechanisms. Please note that many nailguns use fasteners smaller than common size and load reductionswill result. Caution: Always follow nail gun manufacturer’s safetyguidelines.Joists installed in hangers shall bear fully on the connector seatand shall be cut to fit against the header with a gap no greaterthan 1⁄ 8˝ between the joist end and header face.Multiple ply members must be fastened securely together to act asone unit.NA11/NA8D.131 x 1-1/2”<strong>USP</strong> nameCODES:ESR-2761,FL13170NA9D/NA10D.148 x 1-1/2”Screw lengthN10C.148 x 3”LSHNA16D N16C.162 x 2-1/2” .162 x 3-1/2”SerrationsBeveled reamerTCut threads3/8˝Self drilling point1-800-328-5934/1-952-898-8772 www.<strong>USP</strong>connectors.com info@uspconnectors.com© Copyright 2012 United Steel Products Company <strong>USP</strong>844-121
