Quick Overview

• Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.


• Use hot-dip galvanized (HDG) nails with ZMAX and HDG connector products. Use Type 316 stainless-steel nails with our stainless-steel connector products.


• H1 can be installed with flanges facing inwards (reverse of H1 drawing).


• H2.5T, H3, H4, H5 and H6 ties are only shipped in equal quantities of rights and lefts (right versions shown below).


• Hurricane ties do not replace solid blocking.


• When installing ties on plated trusses (on the side opposite the truss plate) do not fasten through the truss plate from behind. This can force the truss plate off of the truss and compromise truss performance.


• H10A optional nailing to connect shear blocking, use 8d nails. Slots allow maximum field bending up to a pitch of 6:12, use H10A sloped loads for field bent installation.
