Grip H Clip, Plywood Roof Sheathing Clip-19/32-5/8" GRIP PLY CLIP

Product Information

Place the edge of the ply or OSB a couple of inches above the clips, line up the sheet where you want it with the rafters or trusses, place your toes against the sheet and lower it away from you. This provides uniformity to the surface or structure being constructed, and frees the installer from having to estimate the proper expansion gap between each piece of building material 11 . I hope I'm not stepping on anybodys steel toes but the H-clip does not alter the span it ties the two sheets together mid span and helps to distribute the load. The H clip includes two opposed arms connected by a spacer bar, where each arm ends in a ski-shaped lead-in having a contoured face and a living hinge.

the tapered arms 12 help to grip the building material 11 , keeping the H clip 10 securely in position. We had a roofer come out to install some 2x4s, but they can't in all locations given there were roofing nails coming through the plywood (preventing us from installing it flush with the roof). To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. By angling the ski-shaped lead- ins 16 located on one end 13 of the tapered arms 12 onto the edge of a piece of building material 11, the lead- ins 16 can be quickly and easily inserted onto the material as illustrated in FIG.For those of us planning to install sheathing horizontally (my wall plus rim board height is greater than 10 ft, so vertical 'over-sized' sheathing is not ideal), would it be possible to substitute the blocking with sheathing clips, similar to roof construction? Therefore, the ends 13 of the arms 12 exhibit some resistance to a complete parallel relationship between the arms 12 . We're not talking more than 1/4" above the plywood surface, and after I've tacked the course above it down, I'll normally swat the last course's nails down tight. The H clip includes two tapered arms connected by a spacing bar, where each arm ends in a ski-shaped lead-in having a contoured face and a living hinge.

Generally in the IRC it states that edges must be nailed every 6 inches and in the field of the panel every 12 inches; nail sizes are listed too.Due to the quick and easy use of the H clip 10, it can be used for spacing and installing sheets of building material 11 in the construction industry, as well as the temporary alignment and spacing for any type of building material 11.

Further, when the H clip is inserted between the materials, the contoured face of the lead-in helps to keep the H clip lying flat on the materials. As illustrated, the spacing bar 14 can also include a thickened area 19 to assist in air circulation between the sheets of building material 11 . Google has not performed a legal analysis and makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the list.

For example, the typical H clip 10 designed for building material sheets of ⁇ 2 inch thickness can also accommodate sheets of 7/16 inch thickness.

Once the lead-in 16 is inserted onto the edge of the material 11, the contoured face 20 provides a smooth, contoured surface for the material 11 to slide over as the H clip 10 is completely inserted. As illustrated, the spacing bar 14 can also include a thickened area 19 to assist in air circulation between the sheets of building material 11. the lead-in 16 eventually rotates such that it comes to rest within an indentation 21 on each end 13 of the arms 12 in a position parallel the surfaces 15 of the building material 11 . If you have ever wondered what H-Clips are for when resheathing your roof, this blog post is for you. International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions.the living hinges 18 help to properly grip the material 11 , thereby securing the H clip 10 onto the material 11 . A panel is less likely to deflect when subjected to a heavy load near its edges if it is made stiffer. Here in Southeast NC, we use H-clips not only for structual reasons, but also for the 1/8 inch gap between the sheets. But I’m not aware (maybe I’m wrong) that the span rating is increased by the use of ordinary plywood clips at this time. Most projects have not had any panel edges that needed blocking as there were no panel edges that did not fall over the wall framing.
