FHA Given Builders Grccn Light On Trursed Rafter Beneftts

Washington-Home builders now can benefit from all the advantages of clear span roof construction, as a result of the Federal Housing Administration's recent revision of its requirements for installing partitions in one or two-unit dwellings, according to Alden K. Smith, sates manager of Timber Engineering Company, research affiliate of National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

In its revision No. 40 to MPR 40&G-3, just released, FHA cancelled the traditional requirement that the top plate of non-bearing partitions must lap over the under plate of the exterior wall.

"FHA's cancellation of this requirement enables builders to have, for the 6rst time, full benefits for which clear spa.n construction was designed," said Mr. Smith.

"Wood frame-trussed rafters rest on exterior u'alls only, and eliminate all load bearing partitions. This enables the builder to close in a house when exterior walls are up, then apply interior finish without cutting and fitting around partitions. He can finish the ceiling and outer walls, and lay the entire floor, all within the open, unobstructed area of the house. This means considerable advantages and economics to builders and homeowners.

"Substantial time, material and labor were saved in the building of more than 125,000 dwelling units w'ith Teco trussed rafters, even under FHA's former plateJapping requirements," Mr. Smith concluded. "Now, greater advantages and economies are made possible by FHA's recent action."

A comprehensive booklet on the construction and use of Teco trussed rafters is available, without charge, to architects, engineers and builders, on request to Timber Engineering Company, 1319-18th Street, N.W., Washington 6, D.C.

Del Travis, president of Travco, fnc., San Jose, attended the Hoo-Hoo Reveille at Berkeley on trIay 8, and then made a quick trip up the Redrvood Highrvay to visit some of the company's mill connections.
