Purlin Connectors

Purlin connectors are fabricated steel brackets and cleats used to join and support purlins where they meet rafters, trusses or each other in a steel roof frame. They provide the correct, repeatable connection detail that ties the purlins into the primary structure, carrying roof loads back to the frame and keeping the purlins properly spaced and aligned. Using purpose-made connectors speeds erection and ensures a consistent, engineered joint.

Purlin connectors are supplied in forms and sizes matched to the purlin section and connection detail, in mild steel, plain or coated. Matching the connector to the purlin size and the frame is essential. See the specifications below for available types.
