The AB Tools 47mm Truss Clips are essential structural fasteners designed for contractors and DIY enthusiasts looking to secure rafters and trusses to wall plates for improved wind resistance. These clips provide a reliable mechanical connection that prevents the damage often caused by traditional skew nailing, though they require precise placement and compatible timber sizes to function as intended.

The clips feature a galvanised steel finish, which provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion.
Yes, the galvanised construction makes them suitable for both indoor and exposed outdoor environments.
No, this pack contains 10 steel truss clips only. You will need to provide appropriate structural fasteners for your specific timber type.
These clips are specifically designed for timber-to-timber connections and are not intended for use with steel beams.
The 47mm measurement refers to the width of the clip, which is intended to fit standard timber framing sizes.
Ensure the timber edge is not splintered or bowed. Use a hammer to lightly tap the clip into position before fixing.
Verify that you are using the correct diameter nail or screw for the hole size and that you are not hitting a knot or dense grain in the timber.
To install, ensure your timber wall plates are level and structurally sound. Place the 47mm clip over the joint where the rafter meets the wall plate. Use appropriately sized structural nails or screws through the pre-drilled holes to secure the clip to both members. Because these are made of galvanised steel, they are largely maintenance-free; however, it is recommended to inspect the clips periodically in outdoor or high-moisture environments for any signs of heavy debris accumulation that could trap moisture. If the protective coating is scratched during installation, applying a touch of cold galvanising spray can help maintain its corrosion-resistant properties.
