...

There are two different brackets options that may be used for this application: a slotted internal wall wall bracket, or an internal wall bracket. Either option may be used and should be installed at a maximum of 1200mm centers.

Example 1 - Slotted Bracket on Wall Running Parallel to trusses

Image Added

A slotted internal wall bracket shall be fixed to the top plate with 4 x 10-16x16 hex head fasteners and to the truss bottom chord or trimmer with 2 x 10-16x16 hex head fasteners.

Warning

It is important that the slots in the bracket allow movement between the truss and wall frame, and the fasteners are not overtightened. The truss should be able to move on the bracket in the event there is settlement. In the event that internal non-load bearing walls run parallel with roof trusses, and trimmer section shall be installed to act as a fixing point for the slotted bracket.
