Clevises & Tie Rods

Trusses having a more contemporary appearance may utilize steel tie rods for some members. SWC can source these rods in a variety of diameters, lengths and materials, along with appropriately sized clevises to create a clean, pinned connection to attachment points. Tie rods are supplied with left-hand and right-hand threads so that they may be rotated and tensioned after truss fabrication.
