Quad Grip

Pre-punched, formed galvanised steel connector for securing timber rafters and trusses to timber top plates.

These pre-punched and formed galvanised steel timber connectors are ideal for securing timber rafters to timber top plates (walls), with the strength to withstand uplift forces from wind storms. An alternative fixing to Triple Grips Multi Grips in most cases of tiled roofs.

Faster and easier to fix than a Triple Grip - no need for left or right hand grips.

Application

   
Step 1.                                Step 2.
   
Step 3.                        Step .4

Step 1. Place Quad Grip in the correct position on the top plate (wall) to cover one or two plates (whichever is required). Impact  with hammer on one side of Quad Grip.
Step 2. Impact the other side of the Quad Grip on top plate (wall). You are now ready to embed the Quad Grip into the rafter or truss.
Step 3. One impact on top left hand side of the Quad Grip will embed teeth into the timber rafter or truss.
Step 4. Repeat on other side of the Quad Grip

Notes:

• Ensure teeth are fully embedded into the timber
• Check to ensure that if two top plates are used that the bottom rows of teeth are embedded into the lower of the lower of the two top plates.
• Check design details to determine if one Quad grip is adequate per bearing point to resist uplift.
