ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a metal connector for diagonal interconnection between the upper and lower chords and two adjacent vertical studs of a wooden truss so as to form a tension web thereof. The connector is of unitary one-piece construction, including an elongated support member having a stiffening rib and stiffening side flanges, and being provided at the opposite ends thereof with two generally rectangular end plates. Each end plate has stamped therefrom a plurality of pairs of fastening brads or nails which are adapted to be embedded in the overlapped portions of the chords and studs to be interconnected. Indexing holes are also provided in the end plates to facilitate manufacture of the connector and locating of the connector with respect to the truss.
