FTC / FTCF Floor Truss Clips
FTC clips slide easily onto the top or bottom chord and provides
a guide to help position and support the second truss during assembly.
FTCF clips easily install after the trusses are installed.
Materials: 18 gauge
Finish: G90 galvanizing
Codes: See page 11 for Code Reference Chart
Patents: #5,653,079
Installation:
• Use all specied fasteners. See Product Notes, page 17.
• The truss designer must determine the number of clips and spacing
between units according to concentrated load conditions and
uniform loading requirements.
Concentrated Load Spacing Tips:
Divide half of the concentrated load by the clip capacity to nd
the number of clips required.
Example:
Concentrated (point) load = 3000 lbs, FTC1 capacity (DF/SP) = 865 lbs
= 1.73 = 2 clips
Place 2 clips near concentrated load.
Uniform Load Spacing Tips:
Divide the clip capacity by half the required load per lineal foot.
Example:
Uniform (distributed) load = 500 lbs/ft, FTC1 capacity (DF/SP) = 865 lbs
= 3.46' spacing
Space clips at 3'4" along length of truss.
