Product Description
The Simpson TBP8 TBP 8 in. Truss Barrier Plate by Simpson is a purpose-built moisture barrier designed to protect the truss where it bears on the top of a concrete or masonry wall. Installed directly on the truss prior to placement, the TBP8 features three pairs of penetrating prongs that eliminate the need for traditional fasteners, making installation fast, straightforward, and reliable. By acting as a durable barrier at this critical contact point, the TBP8 eliminates the need for higher-cost treated lumber without sacrificing performance or corrosion resistance.
