Truss Clip 47mm
£0.45 Ex VAT£0.54 Inc VAT
Heavy-Duty Truss Clip (47mm) A high-performance, galvanised steel truss clip designed to secure roof trusses and rafters firmly to wall plates. Engineered to eliminate the need for toenailing, it provides a secure, code-compliant connection that effectively resists wind uplift and lateral forces. Pre-punched for fast, accurate alignment with standard 47mm (2-inch) timber components.
Product Overview The 47mm Truss Clip is an industry-standard structural connector designed to provide a high-strength mechanical fix between 47mm-wide roof trusses or rafters and the supporting wall plates. Manufactured from premium-grade galvanised steel, this bracket offers structural integrity and reliable resistance against uplift forces caused by high winds.
Using truss clips prevents damage to the timber that often occurs during traditional skew-nailing or toenailing, ensuring a safer, faster, and more robust structural joint that complies with modern UK building regulations.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Optimized for 47mm Timber: Specifically formed to snugly fit standard 47mm structural timber, reducing movement and ensuring a flush, square fit during installation.
-
Superior Uplift Resistance: Engineered to handle high tensile loads, transferring structural forces smoothly down into the wall plate to protect the roof structure from wind lift.
-
Corrosion-Resistant Galvanised Steel: Formed from heavy-duty steel with a high-quality galvanised zinc plating, offering long-term protection against moisture and rust in unheated roof voids.
-
Fast and Safer Installation: Built-in alignment tabs and an extensive pre-punched hole pattern allow for rapid positioning and immediate fixing using standard sherardised twist nails.
Typical Applications
-
Roof Truss Anchoring: Connecting prefabricated roof trusses securely to the timber wall plate.
-
Rafter-to-Wall Plate Connections: Securing traditional cut-roof rafters to timber plates.
-
General Timber Framing: Can be used in general timber-to-timber framing setups where a strong, 90-degree structural tie is required for 47mm joists or beams.
