Simpson Strong-Tie TCP47 47mm Truss Clip Pre-Galvanised

Multi-Purpose Connector for Trusses, Rafters & Girders

The Simpson Strong-Tie TCP47 is a versatile truss clip designed for connecting timber elements such as girders, rafters, and trusses to wall plates or intersecting members. Engineered from 0.9mm pre-galvanised mild steel, it is ideal for enhancing wind resistance and providing reliable restraint in timber frame construction.

Key Features

• Universal Timber Connection
  Ideal for general-purpose use wherever one timber member crosses another—particularly at truss-to-wall or rafter-to-plate junctions.

• Speed Prongs for Fast Fixing
  Built-in speed prongs allow temporary positioning before final fixing, simplifying installation and saving time on site.

• Obround Holes for Easy Nailing
  Slotted obround holes make nail driving easier, especially in tight or awkward angles.

• Standardised Size for 47mm Timber
  Designed to suit standard 47mm timber width, making it compatible with common framing materials.

• Durable Pre-Galvanised Steel
  Manufactured from 0.9mm thick steel and galvanised for corrosion resistance in dry or sheltered environments.
