The MSC supports the ridge and two valleys for roof construction. Ideal for dormer roof applications.

HDG finish available, please let us know when placing your order.

Installation

• Distribute the total load evenly about the centerline to avoid eccentric loading
• Fasten all built-up members together as one unit
• Net height will be calculated based on specified valley member depth and slope by the factory unless noted otherwise

Sloped and/or Skewed Valleys

• The valley stirrups can be sloped down to 45° and skewed from 25° to 45°. (MSC5 skewed 20°–45°.)
• The total design load of the hanger is split between the ridge (20%) and each valley (40%).
• MSC connectors can be used for two valley connections with no ridge member. Divide the total load by two for each valley load.
• Hip/valley connections and many combinations of joist sizes, slopes and skews can be manufactured (refer to MSC Multiple Seat Connector Special Order Worksheet, T-MSC-WS).
• Reminder: Hip and valley slopes are typically much different than roof slopes. See the online Slope and Skew Calculator for assistance in computing slopes and skews.

NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values.
