ABSTRACT:
A positive nail-angling device for metal connectors for prevention of splitting due to beam "hanging" caused by side nailing and wood shrinkage and prevention of splitting of laminated members such as plywood, glued laminated timbers (glulam) and prefabricated wood joists (microlams). The device includes a slot-like opening formed in the face of a metal connector and a tab-like member formed from the displaced face material from the slot-like opening and bent along a bend line which constitutes one end of the slot-like opening. The slot-like opening and tab-like member in the connector confine the nail so that it can only penetrate the wood member at a pre-selected angle. In many applications, the tab-like member is bent at an angle of 45.degree. to the face of the metal connector.
