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.
