Product information

Product name

MT18HS

Product description

MT18HS truss plate is manufactured from 18-gauge steel sheet that meets the minimum strength and yield requirements of ASTM A 653/A 653M, “Steel Sheet, Zinc-Coated (Galvanized) or Zinc-Iron Alloy-Coated (Galvannealed) by the Hot-Dip Process,” Grade 60 HSLA II410 steel and galvanized with G90 zinc coating as per ASTM A 924/A 924M, “Standard Specification for General Requirements for Steel Sheet, Metallic-Coated by the Hot-Dip Process.” MT18HS truss plate has an uncoated nominal thickness of 1.22 mm and is stamped with 0.0124 teeth per square mm. The teeth are approximately 8 mm in length.
