Creeper Connectors can be used to fix both single and double
mitred jack/cut-off trusses to hip/boomerang girder trusses.
Always fix the shorter leg of a CreeperConnector to the
hip/boomerang chord and the longer leg to the jack/cut-off chord.
CreeperConnectors are to be fixed using 30 x 2.8mm
MiTek galvanized reinforced head nails as specified for each
type of fixing, in addition to 3/75mm flathead nails fixed directly
through the chords.
NOTES:
1. A Type A Connection has a CreeperConnector fastened to
the truss top chords and 3/75mm nails through the truss
bottom chords as shown below.
2. A Type B Connection has CreeperConnectors fastened to both
truss top and bottom chords as shown below.
3. Beneath each CreeperConnector are 3/75mm framing nails
not shown in drawings for clarity.
