wood truss or beam with 10d common nails.A minimum of six nails must be into the
face of the truss or beam adjacent to the MGT.A minimum of four nails must be into
the top of the truss.The base of the MGT is designed for a single W diameter anchor
bolt or rod. For masonry or concrete applications, this%" anchor must be designed
by the building designer to provide at least as much capacity as is required of the
MGT. For wood wall applications, this %" anchor may be a length of all thread rod
that is attached to an anchor fastened to the studs beneath the truss or beam.This
anchor must provide at least as much capacity as is required of the MGT. The MGT

Drive®SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws. The base of the VGT is designed for a
single %" diameter anchor bolt or rod. The rod can be fastened to a connector
mounted to framing below the girder or extend to and be anchored into the
foundation. The anchor bolt can be anchored to a concrete or masonry wall that is
designed by the building designer to resist the high concentrated uplift load at that
location. The VGT can be installed a single application or doubled to achieve
additional uplift capacity. The included crescent washer allows the VGT to be
installed at an angle from 3:12 to 8:12. If the VGT is installed on a member sloped
less than or greater than that amount, the VGT must be rotated so that it is sloped
between 3:12 and 8:12. The VGTR and VGTL have one of the side flanges
concealed so they can be placed at the end of a truss or beam. The VGT is
manufactured from 7 gauge steel meeting ASTM A653 SS Grade 33 with a G90
galvanized finish.Allowable loads and fastener schedule are shown in Table 6. See
Figure 10 for additional details.

Notes:
I.- Loads have been Increased 60%for wind loading as permitted by the code. No further Increase permitted.
Reduce where other loads govern.
2. MTSM and HTSM do not have to be wrapped over the truWrafter to achieve tabulated loads.
3. Lateral loads apply for the,MTSM and HTSM twist straps when the first seven nail holes near the bend I line are
Ahed on the truss/rafter side.Any other ftisteners required cart be installed in an open hole.
4. Allowable loads for the HGAMIO are for one connector.A minimum truss/raftey
r thickness of 2Y2"must be used
when framing anchors are installed on each side of the.oist or,truss.
5. HGAM10 F2 loads are for forces into the connector. F21oad'
s away from the connector are 6540 lb. (DF/SP)and
460 lb.(SPFIHF).
6. Minimum edge distance for Titan 2. screw Is 1 V2 1". Titen screws of the same diameter and length may be
substituted for the tabulated Titen 2 screw size with no change in allowable load.
7. LTA2 allowable uplift on SP is 1,3501b.for per
pendIcuIarto-wajIjnstaIIafiqn and parallel-to-wall installation.
S. Minimum fc=2,500 psi.Minimum I'm=1,500 psi.

permitted. Red.uce where other loads g'o'vem.
Z. The META,A,HE rA,and HHETA,require the lowest four nail holes be filled.
3. Five nails must be installed into the truss seat of the HETAL.
4. Fi load towards face of HETAL is 1,870 lb.
S. Minimum'Pc=2,500 psi.Minimum fm=1,504 psi.
6. It is acceptable to use a reduced number of f fasteners in any model listed provided,thai there is
a reductioninuplift load capacity.The load per nail can be approAmated by dividing the allowable
load by the number of nails.There should be a minimum of 4 nails installed in the strap.Lateral
-loads do not apply When fewer than 7 fasteners are.used with the HETA and HHETA anchors or
less than(6)16d or(7)10dxIY2"fasteners are used with the META anchor.
7. The HHETA allowable Fi load,can be increased to 435 lb.if the strap is wrapped over the truss
and,a minimum of 12 nails are installed.
8. Straps.Op not have to:be wrapped over the trussirafter'to achieire tabulated loads unless
spe&fically noted otherwise.
0. Minimum edge distance for META,HETA,and HHETA is 1'/z"for concrete and 2"for masonry.

install half of the required number of fasteners in each strap.
5. Ft loads for the DETAL20 in GFCMU may cause an additional 1l32'defection beyond the standard W limit.
6. Lateral loads"for double META, HETA, and HHETA apply only to 2- or 3-ply applications with anchors spaced a
minimum of 3"apart.For 1-ply applications,use lateral loads in Table 2.DETAL lateral loads apply to 1-ply application.
7. Ft loads for double META,HETA,and HHETA may cause an additional 1/16"deflection beyond the standard Na"limit
when the straps are installed not wrapped over the heel as shown.
