The Simpson TC26 TC Galvanized Truss Connector for 2x6 is a precision-engineered structural connector from Simpson Strong-Tie, purpose-built for scissor truss applications on 2x truss and 2x6 wall assemblies. Designed to allow controlled horizontal movement while resisting damaging uplift forces, the TC26 delivers the engineer-trusted, contractor-proven performance that Simpson Strong-Tie is renowned for - making projects not only easier to build but stronger and safer.

Key Features

• The TC truss connector is an ideal connector for scissor trusses and can allow horizontal movement up to 1 1/4"
• The TC also attaches plated trusses to top plates or sill plates to resist uplift forces
• Typically used on one or both ends of truss as determined by the Designer
• Engineer trusted and contractor proven - you can trust the quality of Simpson Strong-Tie
• Nominal joist size: 2x truss on 2x6 wall
• Made from 16-gauge steel
• Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance
