Girder bracket connections
Truss boots are often in situations where one end of a number of trusses is supported on the bottom chord of a girder truss.
Girder brackets (or truss boots) transfer loads from standard trusses to girder trusses. The load involved makes this connection important. The bracket option used will depend on the load requirements.
Framing bracket
Add a framing bracket at the bottom chord junction. As a general rule, use two or three nails where each chord butts against another member.
Anti-twist truss boots
Anti-twist truss boots support standard trusses, truncated standard trusses and small girder trusses.
High load truss boots
High load truss boots are usually made from welded brackets.
They support large standard and truncated standard trusses as well as girder and truncated girder trusses.
