Description

The Gang Nails GH 80mm x 480mm are large-format timber connector plates designed for joining and reinforcing timber members in roof trusses, timber framing, and other suitable construction applications. Measuring 80mm x 480mm, this elongated gang nail plate provides an extensive connection area for timber joints where a longer connector is required.

Featuring multiple integrated teeth across the plate, the GH Gang Nail embeds into the timber to create a secure connection when correctly installed. It is suitable for professional builders, roofing contractors, carpenters, truss manufacturers, and other timber construction applications.

Large Timber Connector for Roof Trusses and Framing

The GH 80mm x 480mm Gang Nail provides a practical solution for connecting timber components across a longer joint area. Its extended 480mm length allows the plate to cover a substantial section of adjoining timber members.

Multiple teeth across the connector penetrate the timber when pressed into position, helping transfer forces across the joint and reinforce the connection.

For structural applications such as engineered roof trusses, the gang nail plate should always be selected and positioned according to the approved structural or truss design.

Why Choose GH 80mm x 480mm Gang Nails?

The elongated design makes this gang nail connector particularly useful where a larger connection area is specified. Instead of using numerous individual fasteners, the integrated teeth create multiple gripping points across a single connector plate.

When correctly specified and installed, the GH 80mm x 480mm Gang Nail provides an efficient solution for professional timber construction and reinforcement projects.

Installation Guidelines

Position and align all timber components correctly before installing the connector plate. Place the GH Gang Nail over the required joint and ensure the plate is correctly positioned before pressing its teeth evenly into the timber using suitable equipment.

For engineered roof trusses and other structural applications, the connector dimensions, quantity, location, orientation, and installation method must follow the approved structural design.

Do not substitute a different gang nail size without appropriate approval. Bent, damaged, heavily corroded, or otherwise compromised plates should not be installed.

Storage and Handling

Store the GH Gang Nails in a clean, dry location and protect them from excessive moisture, corrosive substances, and physical damage before installation.

Inspect the connector plate and integrated teeth before use to ensure they are in suitable condition.
