1) Factored resistances have been increased 15% for short-term loads such as wind and earthquake; reduce for other load durations in accordance with the code.<br />
2) Truss/Rafter must be bearing on top plate to achieve the allowable loads under "Without Gap".<br />
3) When installed with maximum 1-1/4" space between truss/rafter and top plate, use loads under "With 1-1/4" Gap".<br />
4) Minimum nail embedment shall be 8 nail diameters (typ).<br />
