Clips allow for 3.2mm Expansion & 4.7mm Contraction
Clip Function
Please Note the Hooked Tabs engaging the groove
This ensures that the board gaps will remain consistent as the boards are held back to one side managing boards that naturally expand and contract
Also Note the Gap being set by the Gap Tab
This tab sets gap between the deck boards perfectly every time
The TCG150 ClipA bearing load applied across a decking board (14.5 x 5.5 inches - area of a singleboard on 16” ctr. joists) can demonstrate what natural forces the fastener is capable of withstanding. The TCG150 fasteners are calculated to withstand a load of 240.2 lbf for that area. A category 5 hurricane for this same area is calculated to exhibit a force of 157.4 lbf. A category 5 hurricane would require more than 80 lbf in addition to its force in order to cause failure in the fastener.
