The Anti Crush Plates are manufactured from 1.5mm galvanised steel and are:Quick and easy to install.Available in two profiles – left hand (LH) and right hand (RH).A secure connection of trusses to wall plates. An improvement to timber bearing capacities for heavier loads.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Anti Crush Plates are typically used in the following application:
Connecting Roof Trusses to Wall Plates
FIXING
A minimum of 17/30mm x 2.8Ø Multinail nails must be used to fix each Anti Crush Plate for full tabulated values.
(8 nails into side of double top plates, 5 nails into the top of top plate and 4 nails into side of truss)
TIE DOWN CAPACITY
| Joint Group | Tie down capacity (kN) Dead Load + Wind Load |
|---|---|
| J2 | 4.3 |
| J3 | 3.1 |
| J4 | 2.2 |
| JD2 | 5.5 |
| JD3 | 4.3 |
| JD4 | 3.1 |
| JD5 | 2.5 |
| JD6 | 1.9 |
NOTES: The uplift in capacities are derived from AS1720-2010 and are for houses where failure is unlikely to affect an area greater than 25m2. For primary elements in structures other than houses or elements in a house for which failure would be greater than 25m2 these capacities must be multiplied by 0.94. For primary joints in essential services or post disaster buildings multiply by 0.88.
