Install with spoons facing outward and spaced no more than ⅛" wider than the truss width. 4. The DETAL20 requires (6) 0.148"×1½" nails in the truss seat and (6) 0.148"×1½" nails into each strap. For all other models, install half of the required number of fasteners in each strap. 5. F1 loads for the DETAL20 in GFCMU may cause an additional 1/32" deflection beyond the standard ⅛" 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. F1 loads for double META, HETA, and HHETA may cause an additional 1/16" deflection beyond the standard ⅛" limit when the straps are installed not wrapped over the heel as shown.
