VB6 The VT4 plate is useful

The VT4 plate is useful for connecting truss bottom chords to top chords where the bottom chord hangs from the top chord (as in collar ties/tie beams)

Our custom internal flange joist hangers are made from 3/16" A36 plate and are for connecting your beams to a wall or another beam at a right angle

If you use an N plate at the top of the truss you will probably use a U plate on the bottom of the truss

For a complete tie rod solution you will need two of any style of our brackets to match the tie rod assembly you create here
