Truss Field Splice Kits

FS / FSS

Reference Series: -- --

Job site splicing of long trusses is made easier with Truss Field Splice Kits. The FS and FSS (for scissors trusses) includes a pair of plates, bolts, nuts, and a Splice Clip for top chord alignment. Allowable loads are sometimes limited by tension in the net section of the wood. Choose the bottom chord size and species that will satisfy the tension requirement. Analyze tension in the web to determine the required size.

Materials: FS / FSS – See Load Table ( bolts and nuts included); Splice Clip – 12 gauge

Finish: FS / FSS – USP primer; Splice Clip – G90 galvanizing; Bolts – zinc plating
