## Questions & Answers

**Q: nails for h2.5az**
A: You can use #8 nails or 1 1/4" Torx screws. I opted for the screws because, high up in the air on a ladder and because space to swing a hammer is limited, it is easier to drive the screw with a drill. Go to your hardware store and buy the hardened steel Torx bit which will literally drive thousands of screws. The softer steel Torx bits that come with a set of bits will get rounded off fairly easily. Also, get the magnetic attachment that expands and collapses to hold the screws so you don't keep dropping them.

**Q: This says to install 2 on either side of the rafter, if you use 1 1/2 nails wouldn’t the nails go into each other if it’s on both sides?**
A: That would seem to be the case.  My install was with screws and I only put on one side of the rafter.

**Q: Will this work for connecting two 2"x 4"s at right angles? Maybe if i bend them over the top and/or bottom?**
A: No. You need a T bracket for right angle

**Q: are you required to install one on each side of the rafter?  2 total on each rafter?**
A: No. If you try, you would be nailing into the first connector’s nails! You should look up your local building code to be sure of the correct connector type and nail length.
