Simpson Strong Tie TSF2-24 Truss Spacer 24 Gauge 10 Foot

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE TSF2-24 is a 24-gauge steel truss spacer designed to maintain consistent truss spacing and alignment in wood-frame construction. At 10 feet in length, it provides structural support across a wide span, helping distribute loads evenly between trusses during and after installation. This spacer is a standard component in both residential and light commercial framing, installed by framing carpenters and structural contractors where code-compliant truss spacing must be maintained throughout the roof assembly.

The TSF2-24 is suited for residential roof truss systems and light commercial framing applications where consistent on-center spacing is required. Its 10-foot length accommodates typical rafter bay spans and allows a single piece to serve multiple truss bays without splicing. It is commonly used during new construction and roof framing to lock truss position before sheathing is applied.

Key Features

• 24-gauge construction for consistent rigidity across the full 10-foot length
• 10-foot length spans multiple truss bays without requiring splicing
• Supports accurate on-center truss spacing for code-compliant framing
• Aids load distribution between trusses during and after sheathing installation
• Sold in packages of 20 units for efficient job-site supply

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style truss spacer for use in wood-frame residential and light commercial roof truss assemblies where 24-gauge lateral bracing components are specified.

Installation Notes

Truss spacers are typically installed by framing carpenters following engineered truss drawings and local building code requirements. Fasten the spacer to each truss chord at specified intervals using manufacturer-recommended fasteners. Confirm spacing dimensions against structural drawings before fastening. Do not modify the spacer length by notching or crimping, as this may compromise lateral bracing performance.
