Fixings for Cullen

This section sets out to simplify the specification of ITW Construction Products Offsite fasteners and fastening systems for use with Cullen timber engineered connectors. These fasteners have been tested in conjunction with the Cullen connectors, meaning that published design values are underwritten by ITW Construction Products Offsite if used together.

Large round holes are provided to accommodate M12 or M20 bolts when specified

All small round holes are to be filled with the correct qualified fastener

Fastening Cullen Connectors

To achieve the characteristic capacities published in this Cullen Technical Guide and specified by roof truss or floor joist design software, connectors must be installed using the correct number and type of fasteners. The fasteners in this section have been assessed and qualified as suitable for use with Cullen connectors. All published values are underwritten by ITW Construction Products Offsite. Using an unqualified or alternative fastener could result in a reduced connector capacity and the design values not being underwritten.

Nailing through triangular holes provides additional performance when specified by the designer
