Breakfast Nook Hangers – BN series<br />
Designed to carry four mono trusses in one connector, it reduces installation time and<br />
cost. Provides a tested, load rated connection. Standard configuration spacing:<br />
22 1 /2°, 45°, 45°, 45°, 22 1 /2°. The design also includes field adjustable nailing tabs.<br />
Plated Truss<br />
Materials: 14 gauge<br />
Finish: <strong>USP</strong> primer<br />
Codes: Load values are derived from data submitted to various North<br />
American building code evaluators.<br />
<strong>Installation</strong>:<br />
• Use all specified fasteners. See Product <strong>Notes</strong>, page 10.<br />
• Allow a 2˝ setback for each mono truss.<br />
• For pitched ceiling, design mono trusses with end-vertical upset.<br />
Upset equals tangent of the ceiling slope times 5.6˝.<br />
• Bend tab only once.<br />
