StiffClip® HC

StiffClip® HC connects roof joist framing members to the hip beam. Design loads consider loads on the clip only. Number of fasteners used is based on fastener manufacturer’s allowable load data. Standard angle bend is 135o. Other angle shapes are available.

Value

  • Guide holes for attachment to framing members (.172” in diameter)
  • Engineered for steel members
  • Structurally load tested
  • Meets all building code criteria
