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) Minimum nail embedment shall be 8 nail diameters (typ).<br />
3) 16d sinker nails may be substituted for 10d common nails with no reduction in load.<br />
<br />
5) Fasteners shall be distributed equally on each end of the connection.<br />
6) C after the model number designates center twist as in MTW30C.<br />
<br />
closest to the bend line. Lateral F1 and F2 load directions do not apply to roof truss-to-top plate installations.<br />
