The AB Tools 50mm Truss Clips are essential structural components designed for contractors and DIY homeowners seeking a secure way to anchor roof trusses and rafters to timber wall plates. By providing superior wind restraint and eliminating the need for destructive skew nailing, these clips ensure long-term structural integrity for both indoor and outdoor construction projects. While these clips provide a robust connection, users must ensure their timber dimensions match the 50mm width specification for a proper, safe fit.

No, these are specifically designed for timber-to-timber connections.
The package contains 20 clips only; you must source appropriate screws or nails compatible with your timber structure.
The clips are manufactured with a 0.9mm steel thickness for high durability.
Yes, they are CE marked and designed for structural applications to provide wind restraint.
Yes, once installed, you can use a metal-compatible exterior paint if you need to match the aesthetic of your structure.
This pack contains 20 individual truss clips.
Verify that your timber is exactly 50mm wide; if the timber is larger, the clip will not seat properly.
While corrosion-resistant, harsh coastal environments may require an additional coat of zinc-rich primer if the protective finish is scratched during installation.
To install, ensure your timber wall plate and rafter are properly aligned. Place the 50mm clip over the junction and use the pre-drilled holes to secure the bracket into the timber using appropriate high-strength fasteners. Compatibility is strictly limited to 50mm width timber; verify your lumber dimensions before purchase. For maintenance, while these clips are corrosion-resistant, inspect them annually if used in highly exposed outdoor environments to ensure no debris has accumulated that could trap moisture against the metal. Ensure you follow all local building codes and structural engineering requirements when performing roofing installations.
