Simpson Strong-Tie® hinge plate <br />connectors (ASHP) are used as joint connectors for end- <br />to-end sheathed truss chord members in prefabricated <br />wood trusses complying with IBC Section 2303.4 and <br />IRC Sections R502.11 and R802.10. <br />3.0 DESCRIPTION <br />3.1 AS 20: <br />Simpson Strong-Tie AS 20 metal connector plates are <br />staggered-tooth metal plates manufactured from <br />minimum No. 20 gage [0.0356 inch (0.904 mm) total <br />thickness] steel complying with ASTM A653, SS Grade <br />40 with a minimum G60 galvanization coating <br />[0.0005 inch on each side (0.013 mm)] and having a <br />base-metal thickness of 0.0346 inch (0.879 mm). Each <br />plate has eight teeth per square inch, and each tooth is <br />0.375 inch (9.5 mm) long. The teeth are punched in pairs <br />and formed at right angles to the face of the parent metal <br />so that two teeth per hole occur along the length. The <br />spacing along the longitudinal direction of each punched <br />slot is 1 inch (25.4 mm) on center, and the pairs are <br />spaced 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) on center along the width of <br />the plate. Alternating rows of teeth are staggered <br />0.125 inch (3.18 mm) from adjacent rows. See Figure 1. <br />3.2 AS 20HS: <br />Simpson Strong-Tie AS 20HS metal connector plates <br />are staggered-tooth metal plates manufactured from <br />minimum No. 20 gage [0.0345 inch (0.876 mm) total <br />thickness] steel complying with ASTM A653, HSLAS <br />Grade 60 with a minimum G60 galvanization coating <br />[0.0005 inch (0.013 mm)] and having a minimum base- <br />metal thickness of 0.0335 inch (0.851 mm). Each plate <br />has six teeth per square inch, and each tooth is <br />0.375 inch (9.5 mm) long. The teeth are punched in pairs <br />and formed at right angles to the face of the parent metal <br />so that two teeth per hole occur along the length. The <br />spacing along the longitudinal direction of each punched <br />slot is 1 inch (25.4 mm) on center, and the pairs are <br />spaced 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) on center and grouped in <br />sets of three with every fourth row removed along the <br />width of the plate. Alternating rows of teeth are <br />staggered 0.125 inch (3.18 mm) from adjacent rows. <br />See Figure 5. <br />3.3 AS 18: <br />Simpson Strong-Tie AS 18 metal connector plates are <br />staggered-tooth metal plates manufactured from <br />minimum No. 18 gage [0.0466 inch (1.184 mm) total <br />thickness] steel complying with ASTM A653, HSLAS <br />Grade 60 with a minimum G60 galvanization coating <br />[0.0005 inch on each side (0.013 mm)] and having a <br />base-metal thickness of 0.0456 inch (1.158 mm). Each <br />plate has eight teeth per square inch, and each tooth is <br />0.375 inch (9.5 mm) long. The teeth are punched in pairs <br />and formed at right angles to the face of the parent metal <br />so that two teeth per hole occur along the length. The <br />spacing along the longitudinal direction of each punched <br />slot is 1 inch (25.4 mm) on center, and the pairs are <br />spaced 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) on center along the width <br />of the plate. Alternating rows of teeth are staggered <br />0.125 inch (3.18 mm) from adjacent rows.
