Appl. No.:

10/693595

Inventors:

Charles Roesset - Brentwood CA, US
Carl Kuo - San Ramon CA, US
Thomas McClain - Pleasanton CA, US

International Classification:

E04C005/00

US Classification:

052698000

Abstract:

A roof boundary connection uses a clip that eases installation of the clip to blocking members both in the field by a carpenter and at a factory by one such as a truss manufacturer. The clip is formed with two indexing tabs that are set against the blocking for correct spacing and alignment. In one form, the clip is attached to wood members with nails and to masonry with masonry screws. In one form, the clip employs nail prongs as integral connectors for attachment to blocking members, allowing truss manufacturers to install connectors on blocking members with the same hydraulic presses that are used to assemble trusses with nail prong plates.
