Simpson Strong-Tie VTCR - Valley Truss 18 Gauge Clip
The VTCR is a single-sided valley truss clip that provides a positive connection between the valley truss and the supporting framing below. Installed on top of the roof sheathing, it eliminates the need to add a support wedge under the valley truss or to bevel the bottom chord to match the roof pitch. The clip installs with nails or Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SD Connector screws.
Features
- Single-sided for new construction or retrofit applications — can be installed after the valley truss is set in place
- Accommodates pitches from 0/12 to 12/12
- Can be installed on either beveled or non-beveled bottom chords
- Dome holes assist in installing the fasteners into the supporting framing at approximately 45°
- Made from 18-gauge steel
- Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance
