Moisture Barrier Plates – NOP series<br />
Moisture Barrier Plates protect the bottom chords<br />
of trusses from moisture damage caused by direct<br />
contact with concrete. These plates eliminate the<br />
need for more expensive treated wood plates.<br />

Materials: See chart<br />
Finish: G90 galvanizing<br />
<strong>Installation</strong>:<br />
• Use all specified fasteners. See Product <strong>Notes</strong>,<br />
page 10.<br />
• Pre-attach to truss bottom chord or rafter using<br />
prepunched prongs and/or 6d common nails to<br />
prevent wood-to-concrete contact.<br />

Embedded Truss Anchors – LPTA<br />
Low profile design attaches to 2 x 4 or larger bottom chords and<br />
provides uplift and lateral load resistance.<br />
Materials: 18 gauge<br />
Finish: G90 galvanizing<br />
Codes: Load values are derived from data<br />
submitted to various North American<br />
building code evaluators.<br />

<strong>Installation</strong>:<br />
• Use all specified fasteners. See Product <strong>Notes</strong>, page 10.<br />
• Embed LPTA 4˝ into concrete tie beam or masonry bond<br />
beam.<br />
• Anchors should be spaced no closer than 8˝ centre-to-centre.<br />
• Moisture barrier may be required.<br />
