The Gang Nails GH 50/60mm x 100mm are durable timber connector plates designed for securely joining compatible timber components in roof construction, framing and general timber fabrication. Featuring multiple integral teeth that penetrate the timber, these gang nail plates create numerous fixing points across the joint for a strong and stable connection.
With a 100mm length and specified 50/60mm width, these connectors are suitable for compatible timber joints where secure fastening and efficient load distribution are required. They are commonly associated with roof truss manufacturing and other prefabricated timber structures.
Why Choose This Product?
Gang Nails GH 50/60mm x 100mm provide an efficient method of connecting timber members without relying solely on individual nails or screws. The integrated teeth engage multiple points across adjoining timber sections, helping create a compact and secure joint.
Their practical dimensions make them useful for professional timber fabrication, construction and roof-truss applications when specified for the particular joint.

Secure Connections for Timber Structures
The Gang Nails GH 50/60mm x 100mm provide an effective fastening method for joining compatible timber components. Each plate incorporates multiple teeth that penetrate the timber, creating numerous connection points across the joint rather than concentrating the fixing at only a few individual fasteners.
Gang nail connector plates are particularly useful in the manufacture of timber roof trusses, where multiple timber members meet at carefully designed angles. When correctly specified and installed, the plates help hold these components together as part of the engineered truss assembly.
The 100mm length provides a useful connection area, while the specified 50/60mm width allows the connector to suit compatible timber joint configurations.
Correct positioning and installation are essential. For structural applications such as roof trusses, the connector size, location and number of plates should follow the approved truss design or relevant engineering specifications.
Gang nail plates should not be substituted with different sizes simply because another plate appears to fit. Timber dimensions, roof loads, truss geometry and joint forces can all influence the connector requirements.
For roof-truss manufacturers, timber fabricators, builders and contractors, Gang Nails GH 50/60mm x 100mm provide a practical solution for creating secure timber joints when correctly specified and installed.
Installation and Maintenance
- Confirm that the connector dimensions are suitable for the intended timber joint.
- Position the plate according to the approved construction or truss design.
- Ensure the connector teeth penetrate the timber evenly and correctly.
- Use suitable installation or pressing equipment where required.
- Do not reuse plates that have been removed, bent or damaged.
- Structural timber assemblies should always follow applicable engineering and building requirements.
