Whether
you need to splice two stringers or need to join two pieces of lumber
together in the same plane, Eagle Connector Plates will meet your
needs. Whatever your application, Eagle Connectors will save you
money on materials.
Eagle
provides a large selection of plates specifically designed for use
in stringer splicing. Splicing stringer portions have been proven
through testing to be an effective method of utilizing materials
that are otherwise discarded or unusable.
Tests*
have shown that taking two half notched stringers and putting them
together End-toEnd using a metal connector plate to effectively
create a 48" long stringer will have 75% to 80% of their original
stiffness and may be as strong or stronger than the original
stringer.
