Octetruss, to use the trademarked moniker, is an OCtahedral and TETrahedral complementary grid implemented in such a way as to form a structural truss. A truss is an engineering mechanism for dispersing loads across a relatively long span, to enable coverage of large, primarily horizontal areas with a minimum of underpinning supports (posts). Most trusses appear to be arranged to act independently of one another, whereas the members of an Octetruss are all part of the whole unit.

We recommend that you contact our factory before making any truss rod adjustments. Whenever you adjust a truss rod, whether you are a certified repair person or not, always use caution. For years now, our truss rods have adjusted the opposite of what is considered “normal” (counterclockwise to straighten the neck, clockwise to add relief).

With a truss-to-truss system, the panels of curtain material move across the distance between one truss and the next. This distance leads to more compact bundles of fabric when the system is uncovered than are possible with gutter-to-gutter. There are three ways to configure the truss-to- truss system. First it can be flat at gutter height, minimizing heated area and making installation easy.

The trusses are designed and engineered to be "site-built". The plans show you how to layout and assemble the trusses in a simple "jig" that you build on the loft floor. Clearly detailed, with easy-to-read step-by-step instructions....we've got it down to a science!!

No. It's actually a little easier because you can stand right up in the second floor to install insulation....and, depending on the size barn you're building, you can get up to R-90 between the trusses!

Answer: Truss uplift describes two completely unrelated conditions. The first truss uplift, as in truss arching, is one of the causes of Partition Separation. WTCA has a publication in our TTB series on Partition Separation that describes this occurrence and ways to prevent it. What the brochure does not emphasize is that when truss arching occurs it is because of a moisture content difference between the top chord and bottom chord of the truss.

A truss rod is an adjustable metal rod that sits inside of the neck, underneath the fingerboard. The truss rod is used to adjust for changes in the neck caused by humidity or changing string gauges. Simon & Patrick guitars employ an advanced double-action truss system.

Stuff the turkey before trussing, if you're stuffing it. Make sure the stuffing is well-secured; put a piece of foil over the neck and body cavity openings and secure the turkey skin over the cavity with skewers, if you have them. Use food safe cooking string to tie the turkey's legs together, pressing the legs close to the turkey body.

Trussing with kitchen twine is done to keep the legs of the turkey from splaying during cooking. We recommend an easier approach. Just tuck the ankles of the bird into the pocket of skin at the tail end. Tuck the wings behind the bird. Most of the time, we roast unstuffed birds. Cooking the stuffing in a stuffed bird to a safe internal temperature takes quite a while and usually results in overcooked meat.

These drawings will provide the bottom chord load for which your trusses were designed for. This will help you determine whether or not you can adequately add additional weight in the roof system. According to the National Design Standard for Metal Plate Connected Wood Trusses, ANSI/TPI 1-1995, bottom chord dead load shall be the actual weight of the material but not less than 10 psf for residential use.

Yes and No. While there are several brands of truss that will intermate - the holes match up - the mixing of truss from different manufacturers is never recommended because of liability issues.

Bolts. As long as you are using rated "Grade 8" nuts and bolts with substantial washers on both sides of the joint. TMB recommends bolts for most applications.

Answer: Nailing the truss to a non bearing wall is not recommended. If this is somethin you want to do, you should use a roof truss clip. Roof truss clips are used for alignment control between a roof truss and non-bearing wall. The clip permits vertical truss chord movement when loads are applied.

Answer: Yes; however, they may not be required. Most residential and agricultural type structures may not require any structural design documents because they are exempt structures. One should check local, county or state requirements as applicable and let Lumber Specialties know in advance if sealed drawings are required. Obtaining a seal may add extra expense and unnecessary delays to the project.

Hansen Pole Buildings use the only TRUE interior double truss system. Research shows, two adjacent roof trusses have nearly a 0% chance of having the exact same weak point. By physically nailing the trusses together face to face, with no blocking in between, true load sharing is achieved. Further, our double trusses are set into a notch in the column at each end and bolted through.

Generally structures greater than 20 feet wide require truss bracing. In certain cases 20-feet-wide structures may require truss braces or collar brackets. Truss braces need to be installed only on the inside trusses, not on the first or last truss.

A metal truss plate is a smooth plate that joins two supports boards that are positioned end to end. You need something on each side to hold these two support boards together. You can also use treated plywood or scrap 2"x4" or 2"x6" treated material as well.

Your truss rod should be adjusted when your neck develops a bit of a bow in it. The reason for the bow is a combination of the string tension that is constantly applied to the neck along with changes in relative humidity. Humidity is the most important part of this equation. Wood reacts to changes in relative humidity when it absorbs or loses moisture.

No attachment "needs" octet-stream. octet-stream is a label that describes the attachment as being "a stream of octets". What is that you say? Well, the application didn't know any more specifics and thus it identified it as good as possible. It knows it is a stream of octets, nothing else. So, an attachment coming as "octet-stream" can be pretty much ANYTHING. You have no idea, and neither does anyone else.

OCTET STRING value like 73:63:6f:74:74:79 can be converted into a readable string (DisplayString) by formatting it according to the DisplayString textual convention.

Answer: Truss D&E offers many design options not available in other truss software. Some of the options available with Truss D&E are: Choice of many different material libraries, i.e. Knudson, Dale/Incor, Dietrich, Unimast, MSMA, MBCI or create your own material library.

Hi! I just wanted to put down in writing some things I've observed while tweaking truss rods, in case someone else might benefit from them. I am not a luthier and I don't play one on TV. I have, however, done light repairs and adjustments on my instruments over the thirty-two years I've been playing. Though they influence this discussion, in the interest of brevity, I'm eliminating the influence of the bridge height, neck angle, and nut height (though I will reference the nut later).

Yes, if your trusses/rafters line up with where you want your Hoister mounted, it can be installed directly into ceiling trusses. You may need to run a short cross beam between trusses in order to mount the organizer. If necessary, you can install the two 2" x 6" x 6' boards to align the system so you can lift the object straight off your vehicle without the system pulling from side-to-side.

A truss rod is a metal bar that runs the length of the runs the length of the neck of the guitar from roughly the nut to where the neck meets the guitar body. Its purpose is to both reinforce the neck against the pull of the strings and allow adjustment to the neck in such a way as to allow the strings to vibrate properly without hitting the frets.

We have two wrenches, depending when your guitar was manufactured. The newer style truss rod uses a wrench that is silver, shaped like an L and measures 5/32nds. The older style wrench is black, shaped like a J and measures 3/16ths.
