ABSTRACT:
A truss anchor for securely attaching a truss member to an underlying support wall includes at least one unitary band having a cap portion for partially surrounding the truss member, and a wing portion extending downwardly from the cap portion and in angular relation to the cap portion as defined by a longitudinally extending bend in the unitary band. An attachment flange extends downwardly from the wing portion, and in the same vertical plane occupied by the wing portion, for attachment of the anchor to a stud of the underlying support wall. The attachment flange is attached individually or is stacked with a second, adjacent attachment flange for attachment to the stud. Suitable fasteners are used to attach the flanges to the stud.
