1. What is a connection plate?
Connector plates have integral teeth, are manufactured to various sizes and thicknesses, and are designed to laterally transmit loads in wood. They are also known as nail plates, truss plates, metal connector plates, and foundation wall angles. Nail plates and truss plates are used to form positive connections at the intersection of walls. These connector plates are used mainly in truss repairs and construction. Metal connector plates are also commonly available. These lightweight and cost-effective connector plates are made of sheet metal, and may help to prevent damage to trusses from fire. Foundation wall angles are used in basements to attach the floor to the top of the foundation. This braces the basement’s walls against soil that can press inward and produce lateral pressure. Selecting connector plates requires an analysis of product specifications such as materials of construction, finish, and dimensions.
