StiffClip® PL

StiffClip® PL connects truss framing members in the same plane. Pre-punched holes enable the installer to accurately and consistently maintain minimum edge distance and overall screw placement. Clip sizes vary with each application. Number and size of fasteners used is based on fastener manufacturer’s allowable load data.
Features
  • Guide holes for quick attachment to framing members
  • No time and expense spent cutting steel shapes
  • Utilizes certified, 50ksi steel
  • Guide holes are 0.172” in diameter unless specified.
  • Guide holes have ½” minimum edge distance and spacing of 1″, 1 ½” or 2″.

StiffClip® PL Applications

StiffClip PL - Application

Installation Instructions

  1. Place StiffClip PL on framing member chords and/or webs as designed.
  2. Attach StiffClip PL to framing members with symmetrically placed required number of screws.

Allowable Loads

Allowable Loads

Plates used to connect framing are generally considered as pinned joints. Load transfers through screw or welded connections between members.

Notes:

  • All guide holes may not require fasteners. Number and size of fasteners used is based on fastener manufacturer’s allowable load data, and is to be determined by designer.
  • Guide holes are 0.172″ in diameter unless specified.
  • Guide holes have ½” minimum edge distance and 1″ minimum spacing. Spacing will vary based on plate size and specified project requirements.
