Angle Brackets and Framing Anchors

• Connecting rafters to plates
• Connecting trusses to plates
• Connecting purlins to trusses
• Joist trimming
• Connecting bracing to studding
• Connecting purlins and joists to laminated beams

When making home repairs and renovations, angle brackets are essential. They can be used to put up shelves at home; an angle bracket can help the shelves carry heavier loads. A heavy angle bracket, on the other hand, is used as a construction bracket.

Truss Clips and Framing Anchors

Trusses and rafters can be secured to the wall plate by skew nailing, but there is a danger of skew nails disturbing the joint, or being deflected by other connectors, which would result in an ineffective joint. Skew nailing through the connector plate at the heel usually results in splitting of the timber in the bottom chord, weakening one of the most heavily loaded joints. Its much safer and effective to use framing anchors or truss clips. It is strongly recommended that the truss clips are used, whether or not it is specified on the drawing. All metalwork, truss clips, framing anchors including nails should be galvanised to prevent corrosion.

There is also an Universal Anchor that can be bent on site to suit all applications, Specially bent anchor that has a large hole to permit the fixing of covering surface materials.
