No "H" clips?

New home, 2x8 rafters, 16" OC. 12/12 pitch. All homes in the development have no “H” clips in roof decking…is this allowed? Calling all roofing gurus.

They are only needed for 24" OC around here with 7/16 or 15/32 sheathing.

Same here, used on 24" OC trussed roofs.

I normally use 5/8 plywood but still use the H clips.

Does the stamping on the sheathing call for spacing of 1/8"?? I have seen OSB that does.

Thanks, y’all!:smiley:

Could it be 5/8" T&G Advanteck where there is no need of H-clips?

Hi,
I hope this information can be of some use to you. I am attaching some articles that have good graphics and photos.

First check to see what county you live in, and then see if the ICC codes pertain to your county.

2006 international building code, Chapter 23, construction requirements.

2304.9.4 Other fasteners.
Clips, staples, glues and other approved methods of fastening are permitted where approved.

2006 International Residential Code for One and Two Family Dwellings
TABLE R804.3
ROOF FRAMING FASTENING SCHEDULE a, b

[FONT=Arial]a. Screws shall be applied through the flanges of the truss or ceiling joist or a 54-mil clip angle shall be used with two No. 10screws in each leg. See Section R804.4for additional requirements to resist uplift forces.[/FONT]

{Lumber blocking, panel edge clips (one midway between each support, except two equally spaced between supports when span is 48 inches), tongue-and-groove panel edges, or other approved type of edge support.}

ICC makes every effort to provide current, accurate code adoption information, but in some cases jurisdictions do not notify ICC of adoptions, amendments or changes to their codes. To ensure you have accurate information, please contact the jurisdiction directly.

Hi Bruce,
The state of South Carolina has adopted the ICC codes. I have provided some copies of tables, articles, and graphics that you should feel free to use.
There are some terrific “technical websites” out there for all of our members to gather information from.
