Vertical hanger wires and splayed seismic bracing wires attach to a truss bottom chord using saddle ties with a double wire loop at the support. Hanger wires feature three tight turns, while bracing wires feature four tight turns. Splayed wires running parallel to the joist attach to the bottom chord, while perpendicular splayed wires attach to the top chord or deck. Wires are positioned precisely within the intersection of truss diagonals and web members.
