Abstract
A multiple wood truss connection in which from three to five hip and jack trusses may be supported by a single sheet metal connector at from two to three location and connected to a carrying girder. Each carried truss is supported on a common seat and individually supported by nailing to sidwalls and tab members. The sheet metal connector is bolted and nailed to a vertical king post member on the carrying girder. The sheet metal connector is formed with overlapping back members which enable the connector to carry very large loads and to be connected to relatively narrow king posts. No welding of the sheet metal connector is required or desired.
