Single-sided hurricane tie is designed to resist moderate loads at the rafter/truss-to-top-plate connection
The top flange features an arrow line indicator to aid correct installation
Use also for a variety of connections where one member crosses another
Also used with wood truss 2x4 bottom chords
Hurricane ties can be installed with flanges facing inward or outward
Hurricane ties do not replace solid blocking
When installing ties on plated trusses (on the side opposite the truss plate) do not fasten through the truss plate from behind. This can force the truss plate off of the truss and compromise truss performance
