LUGT Girder Tiedowns
The LUGT series is an extremely adaptable tiedown for girder trusses and offers
several installation options to accommodate different framing conditions. It is an
ideal retrot solution to reinforce truss connections to transfer high wind loads
to supporting walls. Sizes available for 1-ply, 2-ply, 3-ply and 4-ply trusses.
Materials: See chart
Finish: G90 galvanizing
Codes: See page 11 for Code Reference Chart
Installation:
• Use all specied fasteners. See Product Notes, page 17.
• All fastener holes must be lled with specied fasteners to achieve loads
listed in the chart. Large fastener holes are for concrete/masonry installations
(reference page 178) and do not need to be lled when used for girder-to-stud
applications.
• WS Wood Screws included with LUGT3 and LUGT4.
