Joe,
I don’t necessarily need a beveled top plate for shear transfer. The original question is whether a beveled top plate or a variable pitch connector is more economical for a sloped TJI in bearing. It seems from the responses I have received, like so many things, it depends on who you ask. =) Oh well.
Thanks,

If you need beveled plate for shear transfer why use adjustable pitch connector.
