Product Overview
PFPS24 Post-Frame Purlin Splice Connector (Carton of 50pcs)
The PFPS purlin splice connector is the latest innovation in our expanding line of post-frame construction solutions. Designed to simplify roof purlin connections, the PFPS eliminates the need to offset and overlap purlins, keeping them in-line along the entire length of a gable roof. This design enhances purlin and roof panel installation efficiency, improves fastener alignment and reduces material costs by allowing the use of shorter, more economical purlin stock. For example, using 16’ purlin stock instead of 18’ results in both lower board-foot cost and reduced material use.
- Eliminates overlapped purlins, allowing the use of shorter, lower-cost purlin stock
- Reduces installation time by maintaining continuous alignment of purlins
- A minimum fastener pattern can reduce installed fasteners by up to four per connector — helping lower labor costs without compromising code-compliance
- Keeping purlins aligned eliminates staggered roof panel fasteners, reducing installation errors
- Provides tested load values for both nail and screw fastening options
- Unique design allows connectors to be doubled up for increased capacity where needed
- Fully tested and code listed to ensure strength, durability and peace of mind for specifiers and builders
- 18 gauge
- Galvanized
- Use all specified fasteners
- Min. purlin size = 2x4, max. purlin size = 2x6
- The PFPS24 may be installed individually or in pairs for increased load values
- The larger 2 7/8" flange can be used on the downslope or upslope purlin face
- PFPS to be installed centered about spice location +/- 1/8"
