IMPROVED TRUSS BRACING MEMBER
A connector web for interconnecting upper and lower timber chords in a truss or joist, comprising: a first fastening plate having a first set of integrally formed fastening teeth protruding therefrom for, in use, fastening the connector web to one of the upper and lower chords; a pair of second fastening plates spaced from one another and coupled to the first fastening plate by respective integrally formed struts, the struts diverging from the first fastening plate such that the connector web has a generally V-shaped or chevron-shaped form, each of the second fastening plates having a second set of integrally formed fastening teeth protruding therefrom for, in use, fastening to the other one of the upper and lower chords; wherein the each of the first and second fastening plates has at least one integrally formed pinning tooth that protrudes in the same direction as the fastening teeth but projects to a greater length such that, during fabrication of a truss orjoist, the projecting ends of the pinning teeth can be driven into the respective timber chords before the fastening teeth are pressed into engagement.
