ABSTRACT:
A building frame connection including a metal connector for attaching plated wood trusses to wood top plates or mudsills in building structures consisting of a single member constructed from sheet metal including a base member for slidably receiving the bottom edge of the truss, a sail member formed with slotted nail openings and positioned in face to face registration with the side face of the truss, a pair of stabilizer members connected to the sail member, a pair of holding members connected by nails to the stabilizer members and affixed to the wood top plates or mudsills and nails inserted through the slots in the sail member and into the truss member enabling substantial horizontal relative movement of the truss with respect to the top plate but preventing uplift of the truss relative to the top plate. In a preferred form of the invention, projections protrude from the front face of the sail member preventing seating of the nail heads against the front face of the sail member.
