Product name
Alpine HS18 Truss Plate
Product description
The product is manufactured from an 18-gauge steel sheet that meets the minimum specified ultimate tensile strength (480 MPa) and minimum yield strength (410 MPa) requirements of ASTM A 653/A 653M, “Steel Sheet, Zinc-Coated (Galvanized) or Zinc-Iron Alloy-Coated (Galvannealed) by the Hot-Dip Process,” HSLAS-F Grade 410 (formerly known as HSLA B/II 410) steel, and galvanized with Z275 (G90) zinc coating. The product has a coated nominal thickness of 1.184 mm and is stamped with 0.0108 teeth/mm2. The teeth are 8.3 mm in length.Manufacturing plant

CCMC recognition
The Canadian Construction Materials Centre (CCMC) assesses compliance with Canadian building, energy and safety codes. We are the only construction code compliance service supported and operated by the Government of Canada. Trusted by over 6,000 regulators across Canada.
CCMC assessments are recognized by construction authorities across Canada:
| Alliance of Canadian Building Official Associations (ACBOA) |  |
| First Nations National Building Officers Association (FNNBOA) |  |
| Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) |  |
| Alberta Building Officials Association (ABOA) |  |
| Saskatchewan Building Officials Association (SBOA) |  |
| Manitoba Building Officials Association (MBOA) |  |
| Ontario Building Officials Association (OBOA) |  |
| New Brunswick Building Officials Association (NBBOA) |  |
| Nova Scotia Building Officials Association (NSBOA) |  |
The CCMC provides code compliance assessments to Canadian code requirements, consulting nationwide with construction regulators to elicit regional variations in code requirements as well as provincial and local interpretations. Users are advised to review the technical information presented in CCMC assessments when making approval decisions. Learn more about how the CCMC provides a unique service for Canada.
