Installation Instructions
-
Determine the lowest elevation at which the bottom chord of the truss is to be set against the wall.
-
Apply a chalk line 1” above this lowest elevation line.
-
Apply a second chalk line to allow positioning of the upper insert plate plum with the bottom plate, and in line with the gang nail plate at the intersecting top chord of the truss.
-
Insert each of the 2 insert plates for both the top and bottom bracket locations, by either sliding them downward from the top of the form or inserting them horizontally through the form cuts, so that the large hole perforations of the brackets are sitting INSIDE the form cavity.
-
Exact placement of the insert plates will not be crucial as long as the cuts in the foam are made at 90 degrees to the foam face to ensure the bracket faces will always be in plane and in line with the face of the joist or truss frame.
-
After the concrete has been placed and cured long enough for hanging a truss member, chalk a second line at either the top or bottom elevation of the truss to be installed. This should be done with a transit or a laser level.
-
Fit the framing member stamped bearing bracket at the end of the truss as shown.
-
Install a temporary rim joist at the underside of the lowest elevation of the truss by screwing it into the form webs. This will provide a seat for the truss to sit on until fastened.
-
Slide the truss member and stamped bearing bracket down between form inserts plates ready for anchorage at the desired height.
-
Once the truss is seated on the rim joist, using the designated #10 self-tapping screws, fasten through both the insert plate and stamped bearing bracket perforations of the bottom bracket, as well as fastening through the insert plate, stamped bearing bracket perforations and gang nail plate at the top bracket location.
