Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the TBE6 do that nail-on scabs cannot?
- The TBE6 transfers load from the truss or girder to plates for bearing-limited conditions and provides exceptional uplift capacity - performance that nail-on scabs cannot match. Nail-on scabs provide lower load transfer and may require an additional ply for bearing, whereas the TBE6 handles these demands with a single engineered connector.
- What top plate size is the TBE6 compatible with?
- The TBE6 is designed for use with a nominal 2x6 top plate.
- Does the TBE6 work with girders that have multiple plies?
- Yes. One size of the TBE6 works with any number of girder plies, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of structural configurations without requiring multiple connector sizes.
- What material and corrosion protection does the TBE6 have?
- The TBE6 is made from 18-gauge steel and features a Zinc Galvanized (G90) coating, providing extra corrosion resistance suitable for demanding construction environments.
