-
Ensure you have a proper truss layout.
-
Take special care to note any double truss or
girder requirements.
-
A cut in the insert plate may be required for
clearance around rebar.
-
Mount insert plates on either side of a small
piece of 2x4 (approximately 12” in length).
-
Determine final elevation. This may require
cutting a notch in the form.
-
Immediately after concrete has been poured, embed
insert plates with 2x4 attached as per truss layout.
-
After concrete has set, remove 2x4 pieces. Now
insert plates are ready for trusses to be inserted.
-
In most cases, screwing into the gang nailer or
wood member should be adequate. (Check with local building codes).
-
In hurricane prone areas, stamped bearing bracket
may need to be installed over the truss member and fastened to the
insert plate.
-
Wind bracing will still be required as per
engineered truss design.
