Simpson Strong-Tie ATHC-R30 ATHC™ Attic Truss Heel Hinge Connector for 2-1/2 in. Wide I-Joist Flanges (30-Qty)

The Simpson Strong-Tie® ATHC double-hinge connector for truss heels gives builders a cost-effective option to construct factory-built truss components using EWP floor joists and 2x solid sawn roof rafters. The connector works with 2-1/2 in. wide OPENJOIST™ and I-joist floor joists that are commonly used for attic trusses. To enable folded components to ship flat for transportation, the ATHC heel height provides a 2-1/2 in. gap between the top and bottom truss chords that accommodates a 2x3 folded knee brace.

This Simpson product is designed for construction, connector, fastening, anchoring, and structural applications where dependable performance, durability, and jobsite-ready installation matter.
