Multiple Hips from a Tryss Top Chord

Multiple Hips from a Tryss Top Chord

Multiple Hips from a Tryss Top Chord

(OP)
I have 4 hips being connected to a top chord of a truss similar to the photograph under "The Speciality Construction" in the link below:

Are there any manufacturer for these connectors or should they  be detailed.  Simpson does not seem to carry such multiple hangers.  Any suggestions?

Thank you

RE: Multiple Hips from a Tryss Top Chord

We always detail these.  They are generally pretty easy to fabricate - usually use 1/4" or 3/8" plate with bolts.

USP and Simpsons will both manufacture a specialty hanger per your geometry.
