Simpson Strong-Tie ATHC-R30 - ATHC Attic Truss Heel Hinge Connector for 2-1/2" Wide I-Joist Flanges 30ct
The Simpson Strong-Tie® ATHC double-hinge connector for truss heels gives builders a cost-effective option to construct factory-built truss components using EWP floor joists and 2x solid sawn roof rafters. The connector works with 2-1/2" wide OPENJOIST™ and I-joist floor joists that are commonly used for attic trusses. To enable folded components to ship flat for transportation, the ATHC heel height provides a 2-1/2" gap between the top and bottom truss chords that accommodates a 2x3 folded knee brace.
