Fixing wood top plate to square HSS header
Fixing wood top plate to square HSS header
(OP)
Hi guys
What is the easiest way to fix a wood top plate to a square HSS header. I am hoping to screw fix through the 2x4 into the side face of the HSS with metal teks. I do not particularly want to use thru-bolts which bolt through the plate and the HSS.
Regards

How thick is the HSS?
You probably also use blind bolts.
Lindapter makes some good ones.

But I am partial to powder actuated fasteners... quick, fairly cheap and give a quantifiable capacity. Also - fun to use!!

I agree 100%.
I loved using those things.
POW! Nothing like blasting a nail through steel.
