J2 | 4.0 |
J3 | 3.1 |
J4 | 2.2 |
JD3 | 4.0 |
JD4 | 3.1 |
JD5 | 2.5 |
NOTE: The capacities are derived from testing in accordance with AS1720-2010 and are for uplift in 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. For 2/Uni Ties the table values can be doubled.
Note: All nails need to be 32mm long x 2.5Ø hardened screw shank nails and comply to AS2334-1980 or ASTM F1667-15.
Install the Uni Ties as shown to achieve twice the load in the Limit State Design Load table.
Nailing into both sides of a single 35mm truss is not recommended as it may cause the timber to split.
