Multiple Hips from a Tryss Top Chord

[strucengr]

I have 4 hips being connected to a top chord of a truss similar to the photograph under "The Speciality Construction" in the link below:

Are there any manufacturer for these connectors or should they be detailed. Simpson does not seem to carry such multiple hangers. Any suggestions?

Thank you

We always detail these. They are generally pretty easy to fabricate - usually use 1/4" or 3/8" plate with bolts.

USP and Simpsons will both manufacture a specialty hanger per your geometry.
