Light Gauge Steel Hip Connector

This weeks post : We are going to introduce a light gauge steel connector called  a Hip Connector. There is a company called  The Steel Network that manufactures a clip that is used
used in the cold formed steel industry to connect the roof rafters together. Normally , roof rafters are connected to the ridge beam. When  using wood ,the rafters are nailed. In the light gauge steel network, they are screwed into place with steel  clips as you can see from  the  photo .

TSN's clip is available  in 6 sizes. 4inch, 6 inch, 8 inch, 10 inch , 12inch  and  14 inch.
The clips are made with a  135 degree angle. They are made of Grade 50 type H Steel.
