Attention contractors, here's way to do two shoring jobs at once. Just nail one of our splicers to the adjoining ends of two purlins. Slip a shore into the bottom part, and it becomes a shore holder. The L-shaped assemblies of purlins and shore can be extended to any desired length, plus, each shore supports at the exact center of each joint. Excellent for concrete construction application, Ellis purlin splicers are the perfect fit for multi-story building construction, as well as commercial trench projects.
Ellis T-Head "4 x 4" Looking for an inexpensive alternative to using conventional heads? How about a project that requires fewer nails? The Ellis T-Head is what you're looking for to save time and money on purlin assembly, beam forms and other shoring needs. For example, if you've been using conventional heads, you can eliminate ( per head ) driving about 25 nails, making 6 cuts with a saw, and ruining 6 or 7 feet of 1 x 4 or 1 x 6. Plus, it allows you to shore a wider area with one shore. Add a purlin at one end, and an Ellis T-Head can support even more weight for concrete shoring.
