Product information

Product name

AS-20 Truss Plate

Product description

The product is manufactured from a 20 ga steel sheet that meets the minimum strength and yield requirements of ASTM A 653/A 653M, “Standard Specification for Steel Sheet, Zinc-Coated (Galvanized) or Zinc-Iron Alloy-Coated (Galvannealed) by the Hot-Dip Process,” Grade SQ275 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.” The product has an uncoated nominal thickness of 0.904 mm and is stamped with 0.0124 teeth per square mm. The teeth are approximately 9.5 mm in length.

Disclaimer

This evaluation is issued by the Canadian Construction Materials Centre (CCMC), part of the Construction Research Centre at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). The evaluation must be read in the context of the entire CCMC Registry of Product Assessments and the legislated applicable building code in effect.

The CCMC was established in 1988 on behalf of the applicable regulator (i.e., the provinces and territories) to ensure—through assessment—conformity of alternative and acceptable solutions to regional building codes as determined by the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) as part of the issuance of a building permit.

It is the responsibility of the local AHJs, design professionals, and specifiers to confirm that the evaluation is current and has not been withdrawn or superseded by a later issue. Please refer to the website or contact:
