Product Information

Full details

The AB Tools 47mm Truss Clips are essential structural fasteners designed for professional builders and DIY enthusiasts looking to securely connect timber trusses and rafters to wall plates. These clips provide a superior alternative to traditional skew nailing, significantly reducing the risk of timber splitting while delivering robust resistance against wind uplift. While these brackets offer excellent structural integrity, they require precise alignment during installation to ensure the timber members are properly seated.

FAQs

Can these be used for outdoor structures?

Yes, these clips are manufactured to be durable enough for both indoor and outdoor use.

Are the screws included in the pack?

No, this pack contains 20 truss clips; you will need to purchase appropriate timber screws or nails separately.

What standards do these clips meet?

They are CE marked and compliant with BSEN103456 and G275 structural standards.

Can I use these on 50mm timber?

These clips are designed for 47mm timber. Using them on larger timber may result in an improper fit and reduced structural performance.

How many clips come in the set?

This set includes 20 pieces.

What is the thickness of the metal?

The material thickness is 0.9mm.

Troubleshooting

Clip does not fit the timber snugly

Verify the timber width is exactly 47mm; if the timber is swollen due to moisture, allow it to dry before installation.

Screw holes are misaligned with timber grain

Ensure the clip is perfectly perpendicular to the joint before starting the first screw to maintain proper alignment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents timber splitting associated with skew nailing
  • Provides high resistance to wind uplift forces
  • Pre-drilled holes ensure consistent and rapid installation
  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor construction environments
  • Meets rigorous safety and structural standards

Cons

  • Requires proper alignment for optimal structural performance
  • Limited to specific timber width (47mm)
  • Standard fixing screws must be sourced separately

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions:

  1. Position the truss or rafter flush against the wall plate.
  2. Align the clip so that one side fits against the rafter and the other against the wall plate.
  3. Using the pre-drilled holes, secure the clip using corrosion-resistant structural nails or screws suitable for outdoor timber use.
  4. Ensure all clips are installed in pairs or as specified by local building regulations.

Compatibility:

  • These clips are specifically sized for 47mm width timber.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect roof spaces to ensure fasteners remain tight, especially after extreme weather events. The galvanized coating is designed for longevity, but avoid using abrasive cleaners that might strip the protective finish.
