The AB Tools Truss Clips are essential structural fasteners designed for professional builders and DIY enthusiasts looking to secure trusses and rafters to timber wall plates with high precision. These clips provide superior wind restraint and structural resistance compared to traditional skew nailing, significantly reducing the risk of timber splitting or damage. While they offer exceptional durability and a straightforward installation process, users must ensure they select the appropriate size and gauge for their specific load-bearing requirements before starting their construction project.

They offer excellent corrosion resistance, but their suitability for fully exposed outdoor conditions depends on local environmental factors and coating standards.
No, these clips are specifically engineered for timber-to-timber structural connections.
This specific package includes 50 individual truss clips.
Each clip is 0.9mm thick.
No special tools are required; a standard hammer for nails or a power drill for appropriate structural screws is sufficient.
Yes, these brackets are CE marked, indicating they meet essential performance requirements.
Ensure the timber surfaces are smooth and free from large splinters or debris that could offset the bracket.
Verify that you are using the correct diameter nail or screw; do not use fasteners that are thicker than the holes provided.
To install these clips, position the bracket securely where the rafter crosses the wall plate. Ensure the bracket is flush against both pieces of timber. Utilize the pre-drilled holes to fasten the clip, ensuring you use the correct length and gauge of nails or structural screws as dictated by your local building code. These clips are designed for indoor and semi-exposed timber frame environments. To maintain their longevity, keep them stored in a dry environment prior to installation. If used in a highly coastal or corrosive environment, regular inspection is recommended to ensure the coating remains intact.
