H clips provide additional stiffness between bearing points for the unsupported edges of wood panel plywood or osb roof sheathing along with the necessary 1 8 gap for expansion as shown below illustrated on a bag of simpson h clips.
H clip on roof decking.
Not always required but a good idea.
Reduce frustration of clips falling off or spearing edge of sheet full length expansion bar gives you superior alignment and perfect expansion gap our plywood h clips will not poke holes in the underlayment a problem with some metal roofing clips.
H clips increase panel stiffness by allowing distribution of weight between adjacent panels.
They are often used with roof sheathing to keep it from feeling spongy or soft at its edges.
Panel sheathing clips are used to brace unsupported panel edges when sheathing meets edge to edge without a rafter for support.
H clips also called panel edge clips are small steel devices that fit snugly between wood panels in order to provide them with edge support.
Their size should match the thickness of the panels to which they are attached.
Quick installation no nails required.
Grip h clips are designed to make installing roof sheathing faster with better spacing.
Whether working on a home project or building a structure to comply with building codes go with the choice of engineers and contractors go with genuine simpson strong tie connectors.
