Appendix H to Subpart R of Part 1926 - Double Connections:
Illustration of a Clipped End Connection and a Staggered
Connection: Non-Mandatory Guidelines for Complying With §
1926.756(c)(1)
Clipped end connections are connection material on the end of a
structural member which has a notch at the bottom and/or top to
allow the bolt(s) of the first member placed on the opposite side
of the central member to remain in place. The notch(es) fits around
the nut or bolt head of the opposing member to allow the second
member to be bolted up without removing the bolt(s) holding the
first member.
Staggered connections are connection material on a structural
member in which all of the bolt holes in the common member web are
not shared by the two incoming members in the final connection. The
extra hole in the column web allows the erector to maintain at
least a one bolt connection at all times while making the double
connection.
