Plywood Gussets
x 12 x 12
x 6 x 12 Triangle (Means of egress)
Used to capture joints and contain wedges in
place.
All plywood gets 8d nails.
8 and 5 with 5 nail profile.
Cleats
2x4x18 when used on interior shoring.
Wedges
Marrying wedges
Full contact with min. of 1 overhang on each
side of 4x4.
2x4x12
Sole Plate
Cut side to cut side.
Do not lift when pressurizing.
Always nail behind wedges to prevent
