For a list of TrusSteel Authorized Fabricators, visit www.TrusSteel.com. Product The TrusSteel Division of ITW Building Components Group, the Truss Component Manufacturer, has a unique, proprietary Cold- Formed Steel (CFS) chord section that, when combined with a dedicated truss design and engineering software package, allows local fabricators to supply high quality, reliable designs with great speed and flexibility. The CFS trusses are light in weight and easy to deliver, handle, and install, while providing resistance to insect damage, deterioration, shrinkage, fire damage, and nail popping that can affect wood truss assemblies. The TrusSteel chord shape is a symmetrical "U" shape that avoids the eccentric loading conditions that often occur with non- symmetrical chord shapes like common steel "C" shapes, sometimes referred to as "back- to-back" shapes.
