Quality Support
Times have changed since 1956 when Barclay Simpson made his first connector and launched the company that would come to define the structural connector industry. However, what has not changed is the Simpson Strong-Tie commitment to setting the standards for quality, customer support and innovation. That commitment is genuine. Genuine means conducting tens of thousands of product tests each year. It means working closely with builders, specifiers and code officials to ensure Simpson Strong-Tie delivers the highest quality products to the jobsite on time. Being genuine does not ebb or flow. And a genuine leader is always innovative, always delivering high quality and always supporting the customer. You can bet that in good times and in difficult ones, our commitment to customers never wavers. Simpson Strong-Tie will be there on the job to train installers, in the specifiers office to offer expertise and in the stores to help our dealers succeed. That is being genuine. That is Simpson Strong-Tie.

The 33 collated, structural-connector nail is designed to provide installers a pneumatically-driven alternative to hand-driven nails. This hot-dip galvanized nail is approved for use in many Simpson Strong-Tie connector applications. These nails are available in 25-nail, paper-collated strips, and are compatible with a wide variety of popular pneumatic nailers. See page 23 for more information.
SDWS/SDWH
Structural Wood Screws
Simpson Strong-Tie has expanded the Strong-Drive SDW wood screw product line with two new screws designed to provide an easy-to-install, high-strength alternative to through-bolting and traditional lag screws. The new SDWS (6-lobe drive) and SDWH (hex head) structural wood screws are ideal for the contractor and do-it-yourselfer alike in both structural and general-purpose applications. See page 194 for more information.
SDWC
The new Strong-Drive SDW structural wood screw delivers a stud-to-bottom plate or stud-to-top plate connection in addition to fastening rafters or trusses to top plates. The fully-threaded shank engages the entire length of the fastener providing a secure connection. The SDWC is tested in accordance with ICC-ES AC233 (screw) and AC13 (wall assembly) for uplift and lateral loads between wall plates and vertical wall framing. See page 184 for more information.
CPTZ
Concealed Post Tie
This new concealed post base incorporates a knife plate with a standoff base. They achieve a clean, concealed look while providing a 1" standoff height above concrete. The CPTZ is installed with 12" diameter galvanized pins (supplied). The 1" standoff height is code-required when supporting permanent structures that are exposed to weather or water splash, or in basements. The standoff also reduces the potential for decay at post or column ends. See page 56 for more information. (Available May 2013)
DISCONTINUED PRODUCTS
Products that will be discontinued in 2013
Simpson Strong-Tie is dedicated to continuously expanding our line of structural connectors with innovative new products that address the changing needs of our customers. As new connectors are introduced that improve upon older designs, it becomes necessary to discontinue the old versions in the name of efficiency and product-line simplicity. The table below lists products that are no longer included in the Wood Construction Connectors catalog as well as the products recommended to replace them. While technical information for discontinued products will be maintained on our website for a number of months, Simpson Strong-Tie asks that our customers begin to substitute the replacement products shown below in their designs and inventories. While it is hard to say when they will no longer be available from our distribution partners, production of some of these connectors ended in 2012 and others will be phased out of production in 2013.

HOW WE DETERMINE ALLOWABLE LOADS

Allowable loads in this catalog are determined using calculations and/or one or more of the following methods: a minimum of 3 static load tests in wood assemblies; a minimum of 3 static load tests in steel jigs; a minimum of 3 static load tests of products embedded in concrete or masonry. Where available, testing is performed to test criteria established by industry (ASTM or ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria) or if unavailable testing is per sound engineering principles. Some tests include only portions of a product such as purlin anchor testsonly the embedded hook is tested, not the nailed or bolted section of the strap, which is calculated. Testing to determine allowable loads in this catalog is not done on connection systems in buildings. Testing is conducted under the supervision of an independent laboratory. Typically the allowable load is limited to the lowest of 18" deflection, test ultimate/3 or calculation value. For detailed information regarding how Simpson Strong-Tie tests specific products, contact Simpson Strong-Tie.
CATALOG DEFINITION:

CODE REPORTS
CODES
Code Reference Column in Load Tables
The alpha-numeric Code Reference numbers that appear in the Code Reference column in load tables throughout this catalog are intended to identify products listed in evaluation agency reports, typically called code reports, and the specific reports that cover them. The letter designates which evaluation agency from which the report was obtained. The Code reference column, used in conjunction with the chart at right, indicates which code listing applies to a product. The reference numbers also clearly identify: Products submitted for evaluation report listing (160) Products with no evaluation report listing (170) Products not submitted because they have no load rating and an evaluation report listing is not necessary (180) Products that meet prescriptive or conventional construction code requirements (190) Where a model has been submitted for listing (160) or does not have an evaluation report listing (170), Simpson Strong-Tie can supply complete test data to support our published loads. Please contact us for a copy of our product test documentation at (800) 999-5099. Product acceptance may be obtained through the Alternate Methods and Materials section of the applicable building code. Some loads and applications may not be covered in the code report and specific reductions and restrictions may be required by other product evaluation agencies. Visit www.strongtie.com or visit the product evaluation agencies web sites for the current evaluation reports. Simpson Strong-Tie connectors are recognized by most product evaluation agencies. Agencies that recognize some or all of our products include ICC-ES (formerly ICBO, BOCA, SBCCI); IAPMO UES; the City of Los Angeles, California; and State of Florida. Multiple types of ICC-ES evaluation reports are shown in the Code Reference Key Chart. ICC-ES NER, ICC-ES ER, and ICC-ES ESR reports are referred to as Legacy Reports and have been obtained over the years to verify that Simpson Strong-Tie products are in compliance with the code. These Legacy reports were evaluated under the 1997 UBC and/or the 2000 IBC codes. In order to obtain evaluation for the newer I-codes, manufacturers must submit for ICC-ES ESR reports. Simpson Strong-Tie currently maintains more than 50 ICC-ES ESR and IAPMO UES ER reports evaluated to the 2006/2009/2012 IBC and IRC. We continue to submit product information to ICC-ES in order to receive additional reports in compliance with these codes. To help understand which of our stamped and welded connector products are listed in an ESR report, we have obtained an ICC-ES index evaluation services report, ICC-ES ESR-2523, for these products. This report is a reference document to other ESR reports held by Simpson Strong-Tie and will be updated frequently by ICC-ES as new stamped and welded connector evaluation services reports are issued or converted. Please visit www.strongtie.com for the latest information or contact ICC Evaluation Services at www.icc-es.org. IAPMO Uniform Evaluation Service has been evaluating products for more than 80 years and has the same ANSI accreditation as ICC Evaluation Services for evaluating structural building products to the building codes. IAPMO UES began evaluating structural building products in 2004, utilizing licensed structural engineers to perform quality reviews, and currently are reviewing many other manufacturers products. Please visit www.strongtie.com for the latest information or contact IAPMO Uniform Evaluation Services at www.iapmoes.org. In November 2007 the Department of State Architecture, California, issued a revised IR 23-1. The Revised Interpretation of Regulation addresses and clarifies issues relating to Pre-fabricated Wood Construction Connectors. IR 23-1 defines the Purpose and Scope and clarifies Listing Requirements, Acceptable Load Capacities, Design Requirements, Installation Requirements and Connector Fabrication which addresses corrosion resistant material and/or coatings. Please contact the DSA at www.dsa.dgs.ca.gov/Publications/default.htm for more information. On October 1, 2003, the State of Floridas Statewide Product Approval System became effective. The purpose of this system is to provide a single product evaluation and approval system that applies statewide to operate in coordination with the Florida Building Code. This Florida product evaluation and approval system is governed by Florida Statutes, Chapter 553, Section 553.842. Since this law specifies that the product approval system is to apply statewide, Notice of Acceptance are no longer necessary where a product has a statewide approval that is applicable in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) and is installed in accordance with its conditions of use.

CORROSION INFORMATION
Understanding the Issues
Metal connectors, anchors, and fasteners will corrode and may lose loadcarrying capacity when installed in corrosive environments or exposed to corrosive materials. There are many environments and materials which may cause corrosion including ocean salt air, fire retardants, fumes, fertilizers, preservative-treated wood, dissimilar metals, and other corrosive elements. The many variables present in a single building environment make it impossible to accurately predict if, or when, significant corrosion will begin or reach a critical level. This relative uncertainty makes it crucial that specifiers and users be knowledgeable of the potential risks and select a product coating or metal suitable for the intended use. It is also important that regular maintenance and periodic inspections are performed, especially for outdoor applications. It is common to see some corrosion on connectors especially in outdoor applications. Even stainless steel can corrode. The presence of some corrosion does not mean that load capacity has necessarily been affected or that a failure will occur. If significant corrosion is apparent or suspected, then the wood, fasteners and connectors should be inspected by a professional engineer or general contractor and may need to be replaced. Preservative-treated wood formulations have changed significantly and some of the new formulations are more corrosive to steel connectors and fasteners than the traditionally used formulation of CCA-C. Simpson Strong-Tie testing has shown that ACQ-C, ACQ-D (Carbonate) and CA-B treated woods are approximately 2 times more corrosive than CCA-C, while SBX-DOT (Sodium Borate) treated woods were shown to be less corrosive than CCA-C. Refer to technical bulletin T-PTWOOD for more information. Due to the many different preservative formulations, fluctuating retention levels, moisture content, and because the formulations may vary regionally, or change without warning, understanding which connectors and fasteners to use with these materials has become a complex task. We have attempted to provide basic knowledge on the subject here, but it is important to fully educate yourself by reviewing our technical bulletins on the topic, and also by viewing information and literature provided by others. This information pertains to Simpson Strong-Tie connectors only. For corrosion information on other product lines, such as fasteners, see the specific Simpson Strong-Tie product line catalogs. Additionally, because the issue is evolving, it is important to get the very latest connector information on the topic by visiting our website at www.strongtie.com/info. Stainless steel is always the most effective solution to corrosion risk. However, it is also more expensive and sometimes more difficult to obtain. To best serve our customers, Simpson Strong-Tie is evaluating the options to identify the safest and most cost-effective solutions. Based on our testing and experience there are some specific applications that are appropriate for ZMAX/HDG or G90 connectors (see chart below). Because increased corrosion from some newer preservative-treated wood is a new issue with little historical data, we have to base our recommendations on the testing and experience we have to date. It is possible that as we learn more, our recommendations may change, but these recommendations are based on the best information we have at this time.
See www.strongtie.com/info for additional critical information.
General Simpson Strong-Tie Recommendations

Outdoor environments are generally more corrosive to steel. If you choose to use ZMAX or HDG finish on an outdoor project (i.e. deck, patio cover), you should periodically inspect your connectors and fasteners or have a professional inspection performed. Regular maintenance including water proofing of the wood used in your outdoor project is also a good practice. For wood with actual retention levels greater than 0.40 pcf for ACQ, 0.34 for MCQ, 0.21 pcf for CA-B, 0.15 pcf for CA-C and MCA or 0.14 pcf for CA-C (Ground Contact), stainless-steel connectors and fasteners are recommended. Verify actual retention level with the wood treater. When using stainless-steel connectors, use stainless-steel fasteners. When using applications require the use of ZMAX/HDG galvanized connectors, use fasteners with a coating that meets the specifications of ASTM A153 or equivalent coating offered on Simpson Strong-Tie fasteners. Testing indicates wood installed dry (moisture content less than 19%) reduces potential corrosion. If dry wood is used, see our website for additional information. Using a barrier membrane can provide additional corrosion protection, see technical bulletin T-PTBARRIER. Due to the many variables involved, Simpson Strong-Tie cannot provide estimates on service life of connectors, anchors or fasteners. We suggest that all users and Designers also obtain recommendations for HDG, ZMAX (G185), mechanically galvanized, or other coatings from the treated wood supplier for the type of wood used. However, as long as Simpson Strong-Tie recommendations are followed, we stand behind product performance and our standard warranty applies.

CORROSION INFORMATION
Guidelines for Selecting the Proper Connector
1. Evaluate the Application.
Consider the type of connection and how critical it is. These recommendations may not apply to non-structural applications such as fences. Testing and experience indicate that indoor dry environments are less corrosive than outdoor environments. Determining the type of environment where a fastener will be used is an important factor in selecting the most appropriate material and coating for fastener use. To help in your decision making, consider the following general exposure information: Interior Dry Use: Includes wall and ceiling cavities, and raised floor applications in enclosed buildings that have been designed to ensure that condensation and other sources of moisture do not develop. Prolonged exposure during construction should also be considered, as this may constitute an exterior-wet or higher exposure. Exterior Dry: Includes outdoor installations in low rainfall environments and no regular exposure to moisture. a significant factor. For preservative-treated wood applications, proceed to step four otherwise proceed to step five. When fastening dissimilar metals carefully consider the correct combination of fastener and material necessary to avoid galvanic corrosion.
2. Evaluate the Environment.
4. Familiarize yourself with the preservative-treated wood.
The preservative-treated-wood supplier should provide all of the pertinent information about the wood being used. This information should include the specific type of wood treatment used, if ammonia was used in the treatment and the chemical retention level. If this information is not available, then Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc. recommends stainless steel connectors and fasteners. It is also advisable to obtain a recommendation from the treated-wood supplier for a fastener coating or material that is suitable for use with their formulation in the intended environment. If this recommendation differs from those shown in the table below, Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc. recommends that the most conservative recommendation be followed.
Exterior Wet: Includes outdoor installations in higher moisture and rainfall environments. Higher Exposure Use: Includes exposure to ocean salt air, de-icing salts, fire retardants, large bodies of water (e.g. dock boards), fumes, fertilizers, soil, some preservative-treated woods, industrial zones, acid rain, and other corrosive elements. When fastening most untreated wood and other common building materials, additional corrosion risk caused by the fastened material is not
5. Use the Environment/Treatment Classification Chart below to match the classification for the environment and base material application. Then use the Materials and Coatings Available listing on page 14 to select the proper coating or material.
3. Evaluate the material to be fastened.
If the material or preservative-treated wood product to be used is not show on the chart, Simpson Strong-Tie has not evaluated it and cannot make any other recommendation than the use of coatings/materials shown in the high category shown below. Manufacturers may independently provide test results or other product use information; Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc. expresses no opinion regarding such information.

Higher chemical content refers to wood for ground contact with actual retention levels greater than 0.40 pcf for ACQ, 0.34 pcf for MCQ, 0.21 pcf for CA-B, 0.15 pcf for CA-C and MCA, or 0.14 pcf for CA-C. In these cases, stainless-steel products are recommended. Verify actual retention levels with the wood treater. 2. Borate treated woods are not appropriate for outdoor use. 3. Where noted in the table, applications where the wood is dry (moisture content less than 19%) when installed and will remain dry in-service may use a minimum classification coating recommendation of Low for connectors. 4. Some treated wood may have excess surface chemicals making it potentially more corrosive. If uncertain, use types 304/305/316 stainless steel products. 5. Test results indicate that ZMAX, hot-dip galvanized, mechanically galvanized (class 55 and 65) and double-barrier coatings (SDS screws) will perform adequately, subject to regular maintenance and periodic inspection. However, the test protocol followed was a modified version of the nationally recognized test method AWPA E12-94. This test method is an accelerated test, so data over an extended period of time is not available. Also noteworthy is that tests run in a laboratory may not correlate to service conditions. If uncertain, use stainless steel. 6. Type 316 stainless-steel products are the minimum recommendation for ocean-salt air and other chloride environments. 7. Ammonia is typically used as a chemical carrier for difficult to treat wood species, such as, but not exclusive to, Douglas Fir and Hem Fir, which are usually found in the western United States. Amine carriers are used in some of the eastern species, such as Southern Yellow Pine. If uncertain, verify chemical with wood treater. 8. Exterior Dry applications only apply to connectors. For anchors, use Exterior Wet for any exterior application. 9. Mechanically galvanized Titen HD anchors (medium classification) are only recommended for temporary exterior applications.

Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc. does not guarantee the performance or safety of products that are modified, improperly installed or not used in accordance with the design and load limits set forth in this catalog.
GENERAL NOTES
These general notes are provided to ensure proper installation of Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc. products and must be followed fully. a. Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc. reserves the right to change specifications, designs, and models without notice or liability for such changes. b. Steel used for each Simpson Strong-Tie product is individually selected based on the products steel specifications, including strength, thickness, formability, finish, and weldability. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie for steel information on specific products. c. Unless otherwise noted, dimensions are in inches, loads are in pounds. d. Unless otherwise noted, welds, screws, bolts and nails may not be combined 1 to achieve highest load value. 8d (0.131"x2 2"), 10d (0.148"x3"), and 16d 1 (0.162"x3 2") specify common nails that meet the requirements of ASTM 1 F1667. When a shorter nail is specified, it will be noted (for example 8dx1 2). Refer to Simpson Strong-Tie Nailing Guide, NDS (National Design Specification) and ASTM F1667 (American Society of Testing and Materials) for more nail info. e. Do Not Overload. Do not exceed catalog allowable loads, which would jeopardize the connection. f. Unless otherwise noted, allowable loads are for Douglas Fir-Larch under continuously dry conditions. Allowable loads for other species or conditions must be adjusted according to the code. In many cases, Simpson Strong-Tie code reports will indicate loads derived from Doug Fir header material only. However under ICC-ES AC13, loads for Douglas Fir are the same as LVL, LSL, PSL, Glulams and Southern Pine, since the specific gravity of these wood species fall within the specific gravity range of the AC13 criteria. The section from the AC13 criteria indicating the range of specific gravity reads as follows: 3.2.3 The species of lumber used shall have a specific gravity not greater than 0.55 as determined in accordance with the NDS. This chart shows specific gravity for the different wood species: Species Douglas Fir-Larch (DF) Southern Pine (SP) Spruce-Pine-Fir (SPF) Hem Fir (HF) Glulam LVL (DF/SP) LSL (E=1.3x106) LSL (E1.5x106) Parallam PSL Fc Specific Gravity 625 psi 0.50 565 psi 0.55 425 psi 0.42 405 psi 0.43 650 psi 0.50 750 psi 0.50 680 psi 0.50 880 psi 0.50 750 psi 0.50 g. Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc. will manufacture non-catalog products provided prior approval is obtained and an engineering drawing is included with the order. Steel specified on the drawings as 18", 316", and 14" will be 11 gauge (0.120"), 7 ga (0.179"), and 3 gauge (0.239"), respectively. The minimum yield and tensile strengths are 33 ksi and 52 ksi, respectively. h. All references to bolts or machine bolts (MBs) are for structural quality through bolts (not lag screws or carriage bolts) equal to or better than ASTM Standard A307, Grade A. i. Unless otherwise noted, bending steel in the field may cause fractures at the bend line. Fractured steel will not carry load and must be replaced. j. A fastener that splits the wood will not take the design load. Evaluate splits to determine if the connection will perform as required. Dry wood may split more easily and should be evaluated as required. If wood tends to split, consider pre-boring holes with diameters not exceeding .75 of the nail diameter (2005 NDS 11.1.5.3). Use a 532" bit for SDS screws and a 332" bit for SD9/SD10 screws. k. Wood shrinks and expands as it loses and gains moisture, particularly perpendicular to its grain. Take wood shrinkage into account when designing and installing connections. Simpson Strong-Tie manufactures products to fit common dry lumber dimensions. If you need a connector with dimensions other than those listed in this catalog, Simpson Strong-Tie may be able to vary connector dimensions; contact Simpson Strong-Tie. The effects of wood shrinkage are increased in multiple lumber connections, such as floor-to-floor installations. This may result in the vertical rod nuts becoming loose, requiring post-installation tightening. (Contact Simpson Strong-Tie for information on Takeup Devices.) l. Top flange hangers may cause unevenness. Possible remedies should be evaluated by a professional and include using a face mount hanger, and routering the beam or cutting the subfloor to accommodate the top flange thickness. m. Built-up lumber (multiple members) must be fastened together to act as one unit to resist the applied load (excluding the connector fasteners). This must be determined by the Designer/Engineer of Record. n. Some model configurations may differ from those shown in this catalog. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie for details. o. Hanger Options (Simpson Strong-Tie Hanger Options Matrix and Hanger Option General Notes pages 215-224) some combinations of
16

GENERAL NOTES (cont.)
hanger options are not available. In some cases, combinations of these options may not be installable. Horizontal loads induced by sloped joists must be resisted by other members in the structural system. A qualified Designer must always evaluate each connection, including carried and carrying member limitations, before specifying the product. Fill all fastener holes with fastener types specified in the tables, unless otherwise noted. Hanger configurations, height, and fastener schedules may vary from the tables depending on joist size, skew and slope. See the allowable table load for the non-modified hanger, and adjust as indicated. Gauge may vary from that specified depending on the manufacturing process used. p. Simpson Strong-Tie will calculate the net height for a sloped seat. The customer must provide the H1 joist height before slope. q. Truss plates shown are the responsibility of the Truss Designer. r. Do not weld products listed in this catalog unless this publication specifically identifies a product as acceptable for welding, or unless specific approval for welding is provided in writing by Simpson Strong-Tie. Some steels have poor weldability and a tendency to crack when welded. Cracked steel will not carry load and must be replaced. See Simpson Strong-Tie Hanger Options Matrix and Hanger Option General Notes pages 215-224 for hangers that may be welded. s. Unless noted otherwise, all references to standard cut washers refer to Type A plain washers (W) conforming to the dimensions shown in ASME B18.22.1 for the appropriate rod size in accordance with 2012 NDS Appendix L. Some products require SAE narrow washers (N) to fit in a tight space and are noted accordingly.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER

These general instructions for the installer are provided to ensure proper selection and installation of Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc. products and must be followed carefully. These general instructions are in addition to the specific installation instructions and notes provided for each particular product, all of which should be consulted prior to and during installation of Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc. products. a. All specified fasteners must be installed according to the instructions in this catalog. Incorrect fastener quantity, size, placement, type, material, or finish may cause the connection to fail. Prior to using a particular fastener, please consult the Fastener Guide in this catalog. 1 16d fasteners are common nails (0.162" dia. x 3 2" long) and cannot be 1 replaced with 16d sinkers (0.148" dia. x 3 4" long) for full load value unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise noted screws may not be used to replace nails in connectors unless approved and recommended by the Designer/Engineer of Record. Unless stated otherwise, Simpson Strong-Tie cannot and does not make any representations regarding the suitability of use or load-carrying capacities of connectors with screws replacing nails. When using stainless-steel connectors, use stainless-steel fasteners. When using ZMAX/HDG galvanized connectors, use fasteners that meet the zinc coating specifications of ASTM A153 or other fasteners allowed in this catalog. b. Fill all fastener holes as specified in the installation instructions for that product. Refer to page 23 for the requirements of the various shapes of fastener hole. c. Do not overdrive nails. Overdriven nails reduce shear capacity. d. Use the materials specified in the installation instructions. Substitution of or failure to use specified materials may cause the connection to fail. e. Do not add fastener holes or otherwise modify Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc. products. The performance of modified products may be substantially weakened. Simpson Strong-Tie will not warrant or guarantee the performance of such modified products. f. Install products in the position specified in the catalog. g. Do not alter installation procedures from those set forth in this catalog. h. The proper use of certain products requires that the product be bent. For those products, installers must not bend the product more than one time (one full cycle). i. Bolt holes shall be at least a minimum of 132" and no more than a maximum of 116" larger than the bolt diameter (per the 2005 NDS, section 11.1.2. and AISI NASPEC, section E3a if applicable). j. Install all specified fasteners before loading the connection. k. Some hardened fasteners may have premature failure if exposed to moisture. These fasteners are recommended to be used in dry interior applications. l. Use proper safety equipment. m. Welding galvanized steel may produce harmful fumes; follow proper welding procedures and safety precautions. Welding should be in accordance with A.W.S. (American Welding Society) standards. Unless otherwise noted Simpson Strong-Tie connectors cannot be welded. n. Pneumatic or powder-actuated fasteners may deflect and injure the operator or others. Pneumatic nail tools may be used to install connectors, provided the correct quantity and type of nails (length and diameter) are properly installed in the nail holes. Tools with nail hole-locating mechanisms should be used. Follow the manufacturers instructions and use the appropriate safety equipment. Overdriving nails may reduce allowable loads. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie. Powder-actuated fasteners should not be used to install connectors. o. Joist shall bear completely on the connector seat, and the gap between the joist end and the header shall not exceed 18" per ICC-ES AC261, ASTM D1761 and ASTM D7147 test standards (unless specifically noted otherwise). p. For holdowns, anchor bolt nuts should be finger-tight plus 13 to 12 turn with a hand wrench, with consideration given to possible future wood shrinkage. Care should be taken to not over-torque the nut. Impact wrenches should not be used as they may preload the holdown. q. Holdowns and Tension Ties may be raised off the sill as dictated by field 1 2". The conditions to accommodate an anchor mislocated no more than 1 holdown shall be raised off the sill at least 3" for every 14" that the anchor is offset from the models centerline. Anchor bolt slope shall be no greater than 1:12 (or 5 degrees). Contact the Designer if the holdown anchor is 1 2" or raised more than 6". Raised holdown height is offset more then 1 measured from the top of concrete to the top of the holdown bearing plate. r. Fasteners are permitted to be installed through metal truss plates when approved by the Truss Designer in accordance with ANSI/TPI 1-2007, Section 7.5.3.4 and 8.9.2. Installation of Simpson Strong-Tie Strong Drive screws (SDS) through metal connector plates requires the plates to be pre-drilled using a maximum of a 532" bit. Do not drive nails through the truss plate on the opposite side of single-ply trusses which could force the plate off the truss. s. For cold-formed steel applications, all screws shall be installed in accordance with the screw manufacturers recommendations. All screws shall penetrate and protrude through the joined materials a minimum of 3 full exposed threads per AISI Standard for Cold Formed Steel Framing General Provisions, section D1.3, if applicable. t. Nuts shall be installed such that the end of the threaded rod or bolt is at least flush with the top of the nut. u. When installing hurricane ties on the inside of the wall special considerations must be taken to prevent condensation on the inside of the completed structure in cold climates. v. Unless otherwise noted, connectors shown in this catalog have been designed to be installed at the time the framing members are installed. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie for retrofit suitability of specific connectors including those manufactured in accordance with the hanger options section of this catalog.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DESIGNER
These general instructions for the Designer are provided to ensure proper selection and installation of Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc. products and must be followed carefully. These general instructions are in addition to the specific design and installation instructions and notes provided for each particular product, all of which should be consulted prior to and during the design process. a. The term Designer used throughout this catalog is intended to mean a licensed/certified building design professional, a licensed professional engineer, or a licensed architect. b. All connected members and related elements shall be designed by the Designer. c. All installations should be designed only in accordance with the allowable load values set forth in this catalog. d. Unless otherwise noted, connector allowable loads published in this catalog are limited to the lowest of: average recorded test load at 18" deflection, lowest ultimate recorded test load of 3 tests specimens divided by 3 (or the average of 6 specimens divided by 3), or the calculated value based on steel, wood bearing, and/or fastener capacity. e. When a connector is loaded simultaneously in more than one direction, the allowable load must be evaluated as shown here. For all connectors use the following equation: Design Uplift/Allowable Uplift + Design Lateral Parallel to Plate / Allowable Lateral Parallel to Plate + Design Lateral Perpendicular to Plate / Allowable Lateral Perpendicular to Plate < 1.0. The three terms in the unity equation are due to the possible directions that exist to generate force on a connector. The number of terms that must be considered for simultaneous loading is at the sole discretion of the Designer and is dependent on their method of calculating wind forces and the utilization of the connector within the structural system. As an alternate, certain roof to wall connectors (embedded truss anchors, pages 166 and 167, seismic and hurricane ties, pages 164-165, and twist straps, page 187) can be evaluated using the following: The design load in each direction shall not exceed the published allowable load in that direction multiplied by 0.75. f. Loads are based on the 2005 National Design Specifications (NDS) and the 2001 AISI Standard - North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members (NASPEC) if applicable, unless otherwise specified. Other code agencies may use different allowable loads. g. Duration of load adjustments as specified by the code are as follows: FLOOR and DOWN (100)no increase for duration of load. SNOW (115)115% of design load for 2 month duration of load. ROOF LOAD (125)125% of design load for 7 day duration of load. EARTHQUAKE/WIND (160)160% of design load for earthquake/ wind loading. h. Unless otherwise noted, wood shear is not considered in the loads given; reduce allowable loads when wood shear is limiting. i. Simpson Strong-Tie strongly recommends the following addition to construction drawings and specifications: Simpson Strong-Tie connectors are specifically required to meet the structural calculations of plan. Before substituting another brand, confirm load capacity based on reliable published testing data or calculations. The Engineer/Designer of Record should evaluate and give written approval for substitution prior to installation. j. Verify that the dimensions of the supporting member are sufficient to receive the specified fasteners, and develop the top flange bearing length. k. Some catalog illustrations show connections that could cause cross-grain tension or bending of the wood during loading if not sufficiently reinforced. In this case, mechanical reinforcement should be considered. l. For holdowns, anchor bolt nuts should be finger-tight plus 13 to 12 turn with a hand wrench, with consideration given to possible future wood shrinkage. Care should be taken to not over-torque the nut. Impact wrenches should not be used as they may preload the holdown. m. Simpson Strong-Tie will provide upon request code testing data on all products that have been code tested. n. The allowable loads published in this catalog are for use when utilizing the traditional Allowable Stress Design methodology. A method for using Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) for wood has been published in AF&PA/ASCE 16. A method for using LRFD for cold-formed steel has also been published in the 2001 AISI NASPEC. When designing with LRFD, reference lateral resistances must be used. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie for reference lateral resistances of products listed in this catalog. For more information, refer to the American Forest and Paper Association Guideline to Pre-engineered Metal Connectors and ASCE 16. The Guideline contains a soft-conversion procedure that can be used to derive reference lateral resistances. o. For joist hangers, Simpson Strong-Tie recommends the hanger height shall be at least 60% of joist height for stability. p. For cold-formed steel applications, as a minimum all screws must comply with Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Standard J78, Steel Self-Drilling/Tapping Screws, and must have a Type II coating in accordance with ASTM B 633, Electrodeposited Coatings of Zinc on Iron and Steel. Screw strength shall be calculated in accordance with 2001 AISI NASPEC Section E4, if applicable, or shall be based on the manufacturers design capacity determined from testing. q. Local and/or regional building codes may require meeting special conditions. Building codes often require special inspection of anchors installed in concrete and masonry. For compliance with these requirements, it is necessary to contact the local and/or regional building authority. Except where mandated by code, Simpson Strong-Tie products do not require special inspection. r. Holdown and Tension Tie allowable loads are based on installations with an anchor rod length of 6" from the concrete to top of holdown seat, yet these products may be raised to any height with consideration of the increased deflection due to additional bolt elongation. For cases where the anchor bolt is offset, Simpson Strong-Tie offers recommendations, subject to the approval of the Designer, which permit holdowns to be raised up to 18" maximum with a corresponding horizontal anchor bolt 1 offset of 1 2". See General Instructions for the Installer (page 17 note q). s. Throughout the catalog there are installation drawings showing the load transfer from one element in the structure to another. Additional connections may be required to safely transfer the loads through the structure. It is the Designers responsibility to specify and detail all necessary connections to ensure that a continuous load path is provided as required by the building code. t. Top flange hanger allowable loads are typically based on testing with solid headers. Load reductions may apply when using headers comprised of multiple plies of dimensioned lumber or SCL. See technical bulletin T-MPLYHEADER for more information (see page 231 for details).

FASTENER TYPES
Fastener Types and Sizes Specified for Simpson Strong-Tie Connectors
Many Simpson Strong-Tie connectors have been designed and tested for use with specific types and sizes of fasteners. The specified quantity, type and size of fastener must be installed in the correct holes on the connector to achieve published loads. Other factors such as fastener material and finish are also important. Incorrect fastener selection or installation can compromise connector performance and could lead to failure. Simpson Strong-Tie does not offer all of these fasteners, see page 23 for more information. For more information about fasteners, see our Fastening Systems catalog or access our Fastener Finder software at www.strongtie.com/software.

In certain applications screws are easier and more convenient to install than nails, and the single-fastener load values achieved by the SD9 and SD10 exceed those of typical 10d common or 16d common nails, respectively. In addition, the galvanized coating makes the SD screw ideal for interior and most exterior conditions. The SD structural-connector screw features an optimized shank which is specifically designed to be compatible with the fastener holes in Simpson Strong-Tie connectors. The hex head virtually eliminates cam-out and helps avoid stripping of the head during installation. The sharp point of the screw enables fast starts, and the patented serrated threads reduce torque for improved drivability. FEATURES: Tested and approved for use in many of our best-selling connectors for both interior and most exterior applications The single-fastener steel-side-plate load capacity of the SD9 exceeds the capacity of a 10d common nail, while the single-fastener load capacity of the SD10 exceeds that of the 16d common nail Ideal for use in tight spaces where using a hammer is inconvenient Optimized heat-treating for ductility and strength Mechanically-galvanized coating meets ASTM B695 Class 55, is recommended for use with certain preservative-treated woods and is compliant with the 2006 International Residential Code (R319.3) and the 2009 International Residential Code (R317.3) 14" hex drive Head identification MATERIAL: Heat-treated carbon steel FINISH: Mechanically galvanized (ASTM Class 55) CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

This product is preferable to similar connectors because of a) easier installation, b) higher loads, c) lower installed cost, or a combination of these features.
Mudsill anchors have always been a time-saving alternative to anchor bolts, and the MASA anchors provide even greater load-carrying capacity alternative for 58" and 12" mudsill anchor bolts on 2x, double-2x and 3x mudsills. It also eliminates the need for 3" square plate washers for seismic design and, in some cases, has load capacities that meet or exceed the parallel and perpendicular to plate shear capacity of other cast-in-place anchors. Two versions of the MASA are available the standard MASA for installation on standard forms and the MASAP for panelized forms. The MASA and MASAP are code listed by ICC-ES under the 2006, 2009 and 2012 IBC and IRC and have been tested to meet the requirements of ICC-ES acceptance criteria AC-398 for cracked and uncracked concrete. MATERIAL: 16 gauge FINISH: Galvanized, all available in ZMAX coating. See Corrosion Information, page 14-15. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. MASA/MASAP - Concrete shall have a minimum f'c = 2500 psi. - SpallingFull loads apply for spalls up to a maximum 1 4" and a maximum depth of 78". Any exposed height of 1 portion of the mudsill anchor must be protected against possible corrosion. - For prescriptive anchor spacing refer to page 30. - Testing shows that these mudsill anchors can be used in lieu of code required anchor bolts and square washer in high seismic zones. Refer to flier F-MASA for additional information. - Minimum MASA end distance is 4" and minimum center-to-center spacing is 8" for full load. - For continuous load path, MASA should be installed on the same side of wall as uplift connectors.

FWAZ/FWANZ
Foundation Wall Angle

3" 3"
FWA foundation anchors connect the foundation or basement walls to the floor system to resist out-of-plane forces imposed by soil pressure. The FWAZ attaches through the mudsill into the foundation using the Simpson Strong-Tie Titen HD heavyduty screw anchor, eliminating the need for separate anchor bolts into the rim joist. The FWANZ fastens to the mudsill with nails, relying on other anchorage (by Designer) to anchor the rim joist to the foundation. The spacing of the FWA anchors is independent of the joist spacing, allowing for a multitude of options based on soil pressures. Special Features: Compatible with solid sawn joists, I-joists and floor trusses. Testing performed on most common rim materials and types. Addresses design needs set forth in Section 1610.1 in the IBC and Section R404 in the IRC. Eliminates the need of costly cantilevered foundation designs. MATERIAL: 14 gauge FINISH: ZMAX coating. See Corrosion Information, page 14-15. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Connectors must be fastened directly to the outside face of the 1 1 rim board with 5-10dx1 2 (0.148" dia. x 1 2") long nails. Connectors must be located within 4" of adjacent joist/blocking for floor joist spacing up to 48" o.c. and may be centered between joists/blocking for 16" o.c. floor joist spacing. When floor joists are parallel to the rim board, full depth blocking shall be used in the first two bays of the floor per 2006 IRC Section R404.1. Splice joint not permitted on rim board in same bay unless blocking is placed on both sides of the splice. The maximum sill plate thickness 1 2". to be used for the FWAZ only shall be 1 FWAZ onlymust be anchored to the foundation wall with 58"x6" mechanically galvanized Titen HD anchor (included). Cast-in-place anchor bolts may not be used as a substitute. When I-joist rim material is used, backer blocks must be used. Installed per manufacturers recommendations.

The SB58x24 anchor bolt offers a load-tested anchorage solution that exceeds the capacity of all of our holdowns that call for a 58" dia. anchor. Similarly, the SB1x30 covers holdowns utilizing a 1" diameter anchor that exceed the capacity of our SSTB bolts. The SB78x24 is designed to maximize performance with minimum embedment for holdowns utilizing a 78" dia. anchor. SB anchor bolts are code listed by ICC-ES under the 2009 and 2012 IBC and IRC to meet the requirements of ICC-ES acceptance criteria AC 399. ICC-ES ESR-2611 is the industrys first code report issued for proprietary anchor bolts evaluated to the criteria of AC 399. Special Features: Indentification on the bolt head showing embedment angle and model Sweep geometry to optimize position in form Rolled thread for higher tensile capacity Hex nuts and plate washer fixed in position Available in HDG for additional corrosion resistance MATERIAL: ASTM F-1554, Grade 36 FINISH: None. May be ordered HDG. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie. INSTALLATION: SB is only for concrete applications poured monolithically except where noted. Top nuts and washers for holdown attachment are not supplied with the SB; install standard nuts, couplers and/or washers as required. On HDG SB anchors, chase the threads to use standard nuts or couplers or use overtapped products in accordance with ASTM A563, for example Simpson Strong-Tie NUT5/8-OST, NUT7/8-OST and NUT1-OST. Install SB before the concrete pour using AnchorMates. Install the SB per the plan view detail. Minimum concrete compressive strength is 2500 psi. When rebar is required it does not need to be tied to the SB. CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

Notes to the Designer:
SSTB Anchor Bolts

The SSTB anchor bolt is designed for maximum performance as an anchor bolt for holdowns and Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Wall shearwalls. Extensive testing has been done to determine the design load capacity of the SSTB when installed in many common applications. The Simpson Strong-Tie SSTB anchor bolts are now code listed by ICC-ES under the 2009 and 2012 IBC and IRC to meet the requirements of ICC-ES acceptance criteria AC 399. ICC-ES ESR-2611 is the industrys first code report issued for proprietary anchor bolts evaluated to the criteria of AC 399. Special Features: Identification on the bolt head showing embedment angle and model Offset angle reduces side bursting, and provides more concrete cover Rolled thread for higher tensile capacity Stamped embedment line aids installation Available in HDG for additional corrosion resistance MATERIAL: ASTM F-1554, Grade 36 FINISH: None. May be ordered HDG; contact Simpson Strong-Tie. INSTALLATION: SSTB is suitable for monolithic and two-pour concrete applications. Nuts and washers for holdown attachment are not supplied with the SSTB; install standard nuts, couplers and/or washers as required. On HDG SSTB anchors, chase the threads to use standard nuts or couplers or use overtapped products in accordance with ASTM A563, for example Simpson Strong-Tie NUT 58-OST or NUT 78-OST. Install SSTB before the concrete pour using AnchorMates. Install the SSTB per the plan view detail. Minimum concrete compressive strength is 2500 psi. When rebar is required it does not need to be tied to the SSTB. 1 2", Order SSTBL Models (example: SSTB16L) for longer thread length (16L= 5 1 1 2", 24L = 6", 28L = 6 2"). SSTB and SSTBL load values are the same. 20L = 6 1 1 SSTB34 and SSTB36 feature 4 2" and 6 2" of thread respectively and are not available in L versions. CMU One horizontal #4 rebar in the second course. One vertical #4 rebar in adjacent cell for 58" diameter SSTB. One vertical #4 rebar in an adjacent cell and additional vertical #4 rebar(s) at 24" o.c. max. for 78" diameter SSTBs (2 total vertical rebars for end wall corner, 3 total vertical rebars for midwall).

Concrete Anchors Designed to Meet the 2009 and 2012 IBC

Building Codes Have Changed New Anchor Designs Now Required
Most states across the country have now adopted the 2009 or 2012 International Building Code (IBC) and many jurisdictions within each state are now enforcing the code. As a result, Designers are increasingly being required to specify anchors designed and tested to meet the new requirements of the code. The 2009 and 2012 IBC requires that Ultimate Strength Design methodology be used when designing structural anchorages within buildings and other structures. This affects how and when post-installed concrete anchors are specified and what products will be suitable for use. When designing concrete anchorages, designers are now being required to consider, among other things, whether conditions exist that may cause the concrete to crack. If its determined such conditions do exist, anchors designed and tested for use in cracked concrete must be specified. If its determined there is no risk of concrete cracking, the designer may choose to specify anchors approved for use in uncracked concrete. In either case, Ultimate Strength Design methodology is required as part of the 2009 and 2012 IBC.
Cracked & AC308 Uncracked AC193

CONCRETE
Common conditions that cause cracking of concrete:

Concrete in tension such as in the underside of a slab Concrete elements located in areas prone to seismic activity Other factors that contribute to cracking include: - External short term loads (such as high winds) - Temperature variations - Shrinkage during curing
Simpson Strong-Tie has, for years, been at the forefront of developing and testing anchors for use in both cracked and uncracked concrete. In fact, one of our test labs was the first lab in the U.S. to be accredited in testing for cracked concrete. With our technical expertise and support you can rely on us to be the trusted source for concrete anchors.

Simpson Strong-Tie offers a wide variety of bolted holdowns offering lowdeflection performance for a range of load requirements. All of these holdowns have been tested in accordance with ICC-ESs AC 155 acceptance criteria and are approved for use in vertical and horizontal applications. The HD3B is a light-duty holdown designed for use in shearwalls and SB braced-wall panels, as well as other lateral applications. SB The HD5B, HD7B and HD9B bolted holdowns incorporate the proven design B S of our HDQ8 SDS-style holdown and feature a unique seat design which greatly H H minimizes deflection under load. HDB holdowns are self jigging, ensuring that the code-required minimum of seven bolt diameters from the end of the post is met. They can be installed directly on the sill plate or raised above it and are suitable HB for back-to-back applications where eccentricity is a concern. HDBs are designed to provide loads for intermediate-load-range shearwalls, braced-wall panels and lateral applications. HB HD holdowns offer the highest allowable loads, providing high capacity for SO both vertical and horizontal applications.

1. Allowable loads have been increased for wind or earthquake with no further increase allowed: reduce where other loads govern. 1 2. Post design by Specifier. Tabulated loads are based on 3 2" wide member minimum, unless noted otherwise. Post may consist of multiple members provided they are connected independently of the holdown fasteners. See pages 226-227 for common post allowable loads. 3. Structural composite lumber columns have sides that show either the wide face or the edges of the lumber strands/veneers. Values in the tables reflect installation into the wide face. See technical bulletin T-SCLCOLUMN for values on the narrow face (edge) (see page 232 for details). 4. HD and HDB holdowns are self-jigging and will ensure minumum bolt end distance, HB, when installed flush with the sill plate.

LSTHD/STHD
Strap-Tie Holdown
The STHD is an embedded strap-tie holdown offering high load capacity and a staggered nail pattern to help minimize splitting. The STHD incorporates many features that aid correct installation and improve performance. When installed on the forms with the StrapMate strap holder the unique design of the STHD delivers enhanced stability before and during the pour to help prevent both parallel and perpendicular movement (relative to the form). This results in accurate positioning of the strap and reduced possibility of spalling. FEATURES The nailing pattern allows for nailing to the edges of double 2xs Strap nail slots are countersunk to provide a lower nail head profile The slots below the embedment line enable increased front-to-back concrete bond and help to reduce spalling Rim joist models accommodate up to a 17" clear span without any loss of strap nailing MATERIAL: LSTHD8, LSTHD8RJ14 gauge, all others12 gauge FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Use table below for both standard concrete and post-tension slab installations. Install before concrete pour with a StrapMate, or other holding device. Nail strap from the bottom up. Strap may be bent one full cycle (bent horizontal 90 then bent vertical) to aid wall placement, but may cause spalling behind the strap. If the spall is 1" or less, measured from the embedment line to the bottom of the spall, full loads apply. 1" to 4" spalls for LSTHD8 achieve 0.9 times table loads. STHD10 and STHD14 achieve full load for spalls less than 4". Any portion of the strap left exposed should be protected against corrosion. Other than where noted in the two-pour detail, do not install where: (a) a horizontal cold joint exists within the embedment depth between the slab and foundation wall or footing beneath, unless provisions are made to transfer the load, or the slab is designed to resist the load imposed by the anchor; or (b) slabs are poured over concrete block foundation walls. Additional studs attached to the shearwall studs or post may be required by the Designer for wall sheathing nailing. Wood shrinkage after strap installation across horizontal members may cause strap to buckle outward.
Nails are countersunk for a low-profile strap surface.

Need a Higher Capacity Holdown?

When one of our conventional holdowns doesnt offer enough overturning capacity for a multi-story project, consider specifying the Simpson Strong-Tie Anchor Tiedown System (ATS). ATS is a highcapacity, overturning-restraint system commonly used in 3-6 story wood structures to anchor stacked shearwalls. This continuous rod system features our patented shrinkage take-up devices and extends from the foundation to the top of the structure and is restrained (tied off) at each level. Designed properly, it can provide more than 50,000 lbs. of overturning restraint; important when designing for the cumulative overturning forces in multi-story buildings. For more information, see page 68 of this catalog; and for specification options, see our Anchor Tiedown Systems Options for Specification brochure (F-ATSD10) or visit www.strongtie.com/ats.

ABA/ABU/ABW Adjustable and Standoff Post Bases

Additional standoff bases are on page 214.
The AB series of retrofit adjustable post bases provide a 1" standoff for the post, are slotted for adjustability and can be installed with nails, Strong-Drive SD screws or bolts (ABU). Depending on the application needs, these adjustable standoff post bases are designed for versatility, cost-effectiveness and maximum uplift performance. Features: The slot in the base enables flexible positioning around the anchor bolt, making precise post placement easier The 1" standoff helps prevent rot at the end of the post and meets code requirements for structural posts installed in basements or exposed to weather or water splash MATERIAL: Varies (see table) FINISH: All galvanized, most offered in ZMAX; see Corrosion Information, page 14-15. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. See our Anchoring and Fastening Systems for Concrete and Masonry catalog, or visit www.strongtie.com for retrofit anchor options or reference technical bulletin T-ANCHORSPEC. Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports). Place the base, load transfer plate and nut on the anchor bolt. Loosely tighten the nut. ABWPlace the standoff base and then the post in the ABW and fasten on three vertical sides, using nails or Strong-Drive SD structural-connector screws. Make any necessary adjustments to post placement and tighten the nut securely on the anchor bolt. Bend up the fourth side of the ABW and fasten using the correct fasteners. ABUPlace the standoff base and then the post in the ABU. Fasten using nails or Strong-Drive SD structural connector screws or bolts (ABU88, ABU1010 SDS optional). ABAPlace the post in the ABA.

CPTZ Concealed Post Tie

The new CPTZ post base incorporates a knife plate with a standoff base. It achieves a clean, concealed look while providing a 1" standoff height above concrete. The CPTZ is installed with 12" diameter galvanized pins (supplied). The 1" standoff height is code-required when supporting permanent structures that are exposed to weather or water splash, or in basements. The standoff reduces the potential for decay at post or column ends. The anchorage for the CPTZ can be either cast-in-place or retrofit with adhesive or mechanical anchors. See our Anchoring and Fastening Systems for Concrete and Masonry catalog for additional information concerning retrofit solutions. The graphic and table below detail a possible cast-in-place solution. This solution has been tested to determine capacity per the requirements of ICC-ES acceptance criteria AC399. MATERIAL: 10 gauge FINISH: ZMAX INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Use knife blade portion of CPTZ as a template to mark pin/bolt locations on post Drill 12" diameter holes perpendicular to post at marked locations Cut a 316" wide slot in the end of the post. Cut slot on face adjacent to the one with the holes. If using a circular saw cut the slot roughly 1 6 2" up the post. Test that the knife blade slides freely in the slot. Install the knife blade portion of the connector on the anchor bolts and then place the supplied washers over top of the connectors tabs and on the anchor bolt. Use nuts to attach the knife blade and washers to the anchors. The Designer must specify anchor bolt type, length and embedment. Slide the stand off base on to the knife blade assembly Stand the post on the knife blade and drive in the pins supplied with the connector. See flier F-CPTZ13 for additional information and details. Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports). CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

LCB
Caps & Bases
BC/BCS Post Caps

The BCS allows for the connection of 2-2xs to a 4x post or 3-2xs to a 6x post. Double shear nailing between beam and post gives added strength! The BC series offers dual purpose post cap/base for light cap or base connections. MATERIAL: 18 gauge FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in ZMAX coating; see Corrosion Information, page 14-15. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Do not install bolts into pilot holes. BCS: install dome nails on beam; drive nails at an angle through the beam into the post below to achieve the table loads 1 BC: install with 16d commons or 16dx2 2" joist hanger nails. Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports). To tie multiple 2x members together, the Designer must determine the fasteners required to join members to act as one unit without splitting the wood. CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

1. Loads may not be increased for short-term loading. 2. Allowable loads are determined using the lowest of the bearing loads using Fc-perp equal to 425 psi for SPF, 625 psi for DF and 700 psi for LVL/PSL/LSL. 3. Loads are for a continuous beam. 4. Spliced conditions for the LCC must be detailed by the Designer to transfer tension loads between spliced members by means other than the lally column. The splice condition load is 6750 lbs per beam side for LCC must be evenly loaded. 5. To achieve lateral loads, the LCC pipe must be welded to the
column with an 18" fillet weld around the entire pipe. 6. The CCOS must be attached to the column cap plate with (4) Quik Drive XQ112S1224 self-tapping screws through the end plate and into the bottom of the CCOS. Max column cap plate thickness = 12". 7. All pipe columns need to be designed by a qualified Designer. CCOS minimum column diameter is 3". 8. CCOS caps can resist out-of-plane (F2) forces up to 2200 lbs. provided the beam is braced to resist torsional rotation. 1 9. Nails: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3 2" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long.

1. Uplift loads have been increased for wind or earthquake with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern. 2. Down loads may not be increased for short-term loading and shall not exceed the post capacity. See pages 226-227 for common post allowable loads. 3. Uplift loads do not apply to splice conditions. 4. Spliced conditions must be detailed by the Designer to transfer tension loads between spliced members by means other than the column cap. 1 5. Column sides are assumed to lie in the same vertical plane as the beam sides. CCQ4.62 models assume a minimum 3 2" wide post. 6. Structural composite lumber columns have sides that show either the wide face or the edges of the lumber strands/veneers. Values in the tables reflect installation into the wide face. See technical bulletin T-SCLCOLUMN for values on the narrow face (edge) (see page 232 for details). 7. ECCQ uses 14-SDS screws into the beam and 14-SDS screws into the post. 8. Beam depth must be a minimum 7". 1 9. For 5 4" engineered lumber, use CCQ 6X or ECCQ 6X models. 10. CCOQ welded to steel column will achieve same load as CCQ. Steel column width shall not be less than beam width. Weld by Designer.

STRONG FRAME Special and Ordinary Moment Frames

Where Moment Frame Innovation and Ease of Installation Meet
For years, Simpson Strong-Tie Strong Frame moment frames have set the standard for innovation, high quality and ease of installation. Our one- and two-story ordinary moment frames and now our special moment frames provide Designers with required high lateral-force resistance when wall space is small and openings are large.
Strong Frame ordinary moment frame
New Special Moment Frames

Our recently introduced Strong Frame special moment frames feature a code listed (ICC-ES ESR-2802), patented yield-link technology and 100% bolted connections that provide greater performance and easier installation into older buildings that were built following less stringent codes. Strong Frame special moment frame is the only moment frame solution on the market with a link assembly designed to yield specifically at the connection in a seismic or wind event. The ability to go into a building after an event replacing only the fuse and not the entire beam offers significant cost savings. By introducing the Strong Frame special moment frame, Simpson Strong-Tie has extended its technology leadership by delivering new, code-listed solutions. By picking out standard sizes out of this catalog or leveraging our Strong Frame Selector software, Designers can easily select a moment frame from more than 500 frame configurations that best resists wind or seismic lateral loads in applications, such as soft-story retrofit of mid-rise wood structures or buildings built over tuck-under parking.

The New Strong Frame Moment Frame Catalog

A new Strong Frame moment frame catalog (C-SF13) is now available that reflects the new ordinary and special moment frame offerings from Simpson Strong-Tie. Whether you have a new or retrofit project, this catalog has all the information you need to specify and install a moment frame that specifically fits your needs. In addition to adding the special moment frames, the catalog is designed to reflect the design process of most projects. Visit www.strongtie.com/strongframe to download or request a copy by mail by calling (800) 999-5099.
Strong Frame Selector Software

The Simpson Strong-Tie Strong Frame Selector software is designed to help the Designer select an appropriate frame for their given geometry and loading. Only minimum inputs are required for the software to select an appropriate frame for the available space. Based on input geometry, the Strong Frame Selector software will narrow down from the more than 500 available stock frames to a handful of possible solutions. It can also help with custom frame designs. Download your free copy at www.strongtie.com/strongframe.

ATS The Next Generation Anchor Tiedown System

The Simpson Strong-Tie Anchor Tie-down System (ATS) is designed to anchor stacked shearwalls in multi-story wood-frame buildings while compensating for shrinkage effects commonly seen in these types of structures. The system is comprised of threaded rods, bearing plates, couplers and nuts, used in combination with our proprietary shrinkage take-up devices to resist shearwall overturning forces. ATS serves the same purpose as conventional holdowns though can be configured to provide significantly higher loads (up to 50,000 lbs).

The ATS Advantage

Proven Product Performance The ATS products have been thoroughly tested in full-scale wall systems and structures to develop proven products and design philosophies. High-Quality Products All ATS components are proudly manufactured and assembled in the USA to the highest quaity standards to ensure consistent performance. No-Equal Support Simpson Strong-Tie has dedicated sales and engineering staff to support ATS as well as our unmatched field service from our national sales force. Any field issues or questions, about any of our products, are resolved quickly and professionally by our highly-trained staff. Specifications Made Easy Specifying ATS is more complex than specifying other products unlike other products in our line as one cant just turn to a page in a catalog with a single load and select the product. To best serve our customers we have developed multiple methods of specification and a support service to assist engineers in specifying the product. Take the Guess Work out of Rod Elongation Rod elongation is a critical consideration in the design of threaded rod systems carrying uplift loads from roof to wall anchorage or shearwall overturning. The Rod Elongation Calculator from Simpson Strong-Tie assists the Designer to determine elongation given a demand load and rod properties.

LUCZ concealed flange hanger available for 2x6, 2x8, 2x10 and 2x12 lumber. Ideal for end of ledger/ header or post conditions, the LUCZ also provides cleaner lines for exposed conditions such as overhead decks. See Hanger tables on pages 71-77. See Hanger Options on pages 215-224 for hanger modifications, which may result in reduced loads. LUValue engineered for strength and economy. Precision-formedengineered for installation ease and design value. UThe standard U hanger provides flexibility of joist to header installation. Versatile fastener selection with tested allowable loads. HU/HUCMost models have triangle and round holes. To achieve maximum loads, fill both round and triangle holes with common nails. These heavy-duty connectors are designed for schools and other structures requiring additional strength, longevity and safety factors. MATERIAL: See tables on pages 71-77. FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in ZMAX coating. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. HU/HUCCan be installed filling round holes only, or filling round and triangle holes for maximum values. Joists sloped up to 14:12 achieve table loads. For installations to masonry or concrete see page 161. HU/HUC hangers can be welded to a steel member. Allowable loads are the lesser of the values in the Hanger tables on pages 71-77 or the weld capacity refer to technical bulletin T-HUHUC-W (see page 231 for details).

HUCQ Heavy-Duty Joist Hangers

The HUCQ series are heavy-duty joist hangers that incorporate Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive wood screws (SDS). Designed and tested for installation at the end of a beam or on a post, they provide a strong connection with fewer fasteners than nailed hangers. See page 107 for structural composite lumber hangers. MATERIAL: 14 gauge FINISH: Galvanized. Most models available in stainless steel or ZMAX coating. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. 1 Install Simpson Strong-Tie SDS 14"x2 2" wood screws, which are provided, in all round holes. (Lag screws will not achieve the same load.) For use on solid sawn wood members. OPTIONS: These hangers cannot be modified. CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

Double Shear Joist Hangers

1" for 2xs 1116" for 3xs and 4x s
See Hanger tables on pages 71-76. See Hanger Options on pages 215-224 for hanger modifications, which may result in reduced loads. All hangers in this series have double shear nailing. This innovation distributes the load through two points on each joist nail for greater strength. It also allows the use of fewer nails, faster installation, and the use of standard nails for all connections. (Do not bend or remove tabs.) MATERIAL: See tables, pages 71-76. FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in stainless steel or ZMAX coating; see Corrosion Information, page 14-15. INSTALLATION Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.

TOP FLANGE HANGERS JB/LB/BA/B/HHB

Joist, Beam and Purlin Hangers
The BA hanger is a cost effective hanger featuring min/max joist nailing option. Min Nailing featuring Positive Angle Nailing targets moderate load conditions whereas the Max Nailing generates capacities for higher loads. The unique two level embossment provides added stiffness to the top flange. The newly improved B hanger offers wide versatility with enhanced load capacities. See tables on pages 80-82. See Hanger Options on pages 215-224 for hanger modifications, which may result in reduced loads. MATERIAL: See tables, pages 80-82. FINISH: BA, JB, LB and BGalvanized; HHBall saddle hangers and all welded sloped and special hangersSimpson Strong-Tie gray paint. BA, LB, B and HHB may be ordered hot-dip galvanized, specify HDG. INSTALLATION: Use specified fasteners. See General Notes and nailer table. LB, BA, B and HHB may be welded to steel headers with weld size to match material thickness (approximate thickness shown). The 1 minimum required weld to the top flanges is 18" x 2" (18" x 1 2" for LB) fillet weld to each side of each top flange tab for 14 and 12 gauge and 3 16" x 2" fillet weld to each side of each top flange tab for 7 gauge. Distribute the weld equally on both top flanges. Welding cancels the top and face nailing requirements. Consult the code for special considerations when welding galvanized steel. The area should be well-ventilated (see page 17 for welding information). Weld on applications produce the maximum allowable down load listed. For uplift loads refer to technical bulletin T-WELDUPLFT (see page 232 for details). Ledgers must be evaluated for each application separately. Check TF dimension, nail length and nail location on ledger. Refer to technical bulletin T-SLOPEJST for information regarding load reductions on selected hangers which can be used without modification to support joists which have shallow slopes ( 34:12) (see page 232 for details). OPTIONS: B and HHB Other widths are available; specify W dimension 9 1 (the minimum W dimension is 1 16" for B and 3 4" for HHB). See Hanger Options, pages 215-224. BA, JB and LB hangers cannot be modified. Use LBV as an alternative for the JB/LB. CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart. Nailer Table

TOP FLANGE HANGERS W/WPU/WNP/WM/WMU/HW/HWU/GLT/HGLT

The W, WPU, HWU and HW series purlin hangers offer the greatest design flexibility and versatility. WMs are designed for use on standard 8" grouted masonry block wall construction. MATERIAL: See tables on pages 80-82. FINISH: Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint; hot-dip galvanized available: specify HDG, contact Simpson Strong-Tie. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. WMtwo 16d duplex nails must be installed into the top flange and embedded into the grouted wall. Verify that the grouted wall can take the required fasteners specified in the table. H dimensions are sized to account for normal joist shrinkage. W dimensions are for dressed timber widths. Hangers may be welded to steel headers with weld size to match material thickness (approximate thickness shown) 18" for W, 316" for WNP/WPU and 1 1 4" for HW/HWU, by 1 2" fillet welds located at each end of the top flange (see page 17 for welding information). Weld-on applications produce maximum allowable load listed. For uplift loads refer to technical bulletin T-WELDUPLFT (HWU and WPU hangers only) (see page 232 for details). GLT/HGLT may be welded to steel headers, see page 94 for requirements. Hangers can support multi-ply carried members; the individual members must be secured together to work as a single unit before installation into the hanger. Embed WM into block with a minimum of one course above and one course below the top flange with one #5 vertical rebar minimum 24" long in each cell. Minimum grout strength is 2000 psi. OPTIONS: Refer to technical bulletin T-SLOPEJST for information regarding load reductions on selected hangers which can be used without modification to support joists which have shallow slopes (34:12) (see page 232 for details).

1. N54A fasteners are supplied with hangers. 2. 16d sinkers may be used where 10d commons are called out with no load reduction. 3. Uplift loads are based on DF/SP lumber and have been increased for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed. For normal loading applications such as cantilever construction refer to Simpson Strong-Tie Connector Selector software or conservatively divide the uplift load by 1.6. For SPF use 0.86 x DF/SP uplift load. 1 1 1 2" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 2 = 0.148" dia. x 1 2" long. See page 22-23 for other nail sizes and information. 4. Nails: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3 CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart. *Installed Cost Index not available on these models.

LRU
Rafter Hanger
The LRU offers an economic alternative for those applications requiring a sloped hanger for rafter-to-ridge connections. Used with solid-sawn rafters, the LRUs unique design enables the hanger to be installed either before or after the rafter is in place. The field-adjustable seat helps improve job efficiency by eliminating mismatched angles in the field and lead times associated with special orders. The LRU offers comparable or better load capacity to other rafter hangers at a reduced cost while using fewer fasteners. Features: The open design and ability to field-adjust the slope makes the LRU ideal for both retrofit or new applications Accommodates roof pitches from 0:12 to 14:12 For added versatility, the fasteners on the face of the hanger are placed high enabling the bottom of the rafter to hang below the ridge beam (see Max. C1 dimension) Can be installed using nails or Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SD structural-connector screws MATERIAL: 18 gauge FINISH: Galvanized (G90) INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Joist fasteners must be installed at an angle through the rafter or joist into the header to achieve the table loads. See alternate installation on page 84 for retrofit applications. CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

1 1. Allowable loads are based on a minimum 3" carrying member. For single 2x carrying members, use 10dx1 2" nails into the face and 1 10d commons into the joist, and reduce the allowable load to 0.81 of the tabulated value for 10d nails. Alternatively, use SD #10x1 2" into the face 1 and SD #10x2 2" into the joist as shown in the table. 2. Uplift loads have been increased for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed. Reduce where other loads govern. 3. Allowable loads in the table are based on a maximum joist slope of 45 (12:12). For slopes greater than 45, up to 49 (14:12), the allowable loads are 0.85 of the table loads. 1 1 1 4.

Ridge Beam Depth LRU H
1. Minimum ridge beam depths shown assume rafter and ridge beam are flush at the top. 2. Minimum ridge beam depths have been determined to ensure the Max C1 dimension for the LRU is not exceeded. Deeper ridge beams may be required to support the rafter
loads as determined by the Designer. 3. The International Residential Code requires the ridge to be not less in depth than the cut end of the rafter unless the ridge is designed as a beam.

The THA series extra long straps allow full code nailing and can be field-formed to give top flange hanger convenience. Designed for 4x2 floor trusses and 4x beams, the THAR/L422 has a standard skew of 45. Straps must be bent for top flange hanger installation. PAN nailing helps eliminate splitting of 4x2 truss bottom chords. MATERIAL: See table FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in ZMAX coating; see Corrosion Information, page 14-15. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. The following installation methods may be used: Top Flange InstallationThe straps must be field formed over the header see table for minimum top flange requirements. Install top and face nails according to the table. Top nails shall not be within 14" from the edge of the top flange members. For the THA29, nails used for joist attachment must be driven at an angle so that they penetrate through the corner of the joist and into the header. For all other top flange installations, straighten the double shear nailing tabs and install the nails straight into the joist. Face Mount InstallationInstall all face nails according to the table. Not all nail holes will be filled on all models. On models where there are more nail holes than required, the lowest 4 face holes must be filled. Nails used for the joist attachment must be driven at an angle so that they penetrate through the corner of the joist into the header. Alternate InstallationThe THA 4x hangers may be installed in a top flange configuration using the tabulated fasteners for face mount installation and achieve the face mount installation loads. Install the tabulated face nails into the face and top of the carrying member.

HFN/F Panelized Construction Hangers

The HF24N, HF26N, HF34N and HF36N hangers are designed for panels or components using jigs or similar devices for precision fabrication. Grip-groove feature provides positive lock into the 2x or 3x member without nailing. F series panel hangers are engineered components for panelized construction only. MATERIAL: 18 gauge FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in ZMAX coating; see Corrosion Information, page 14-15. STANDARD INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners in pre-manufactured holes. See General Notes. On the F-series hanger, the diamond hole nail is non-structural and does not contribute to the load. For additional information on retrofit options see flier F-RUZNRUZ (see page 229 for details). PANELIZED INSTALLATION: See technical bulletin T-HFHANGER for allowable load adjustments and additional information (see page 230 for details). CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

High-Capacity Girder Hangers
The GU hangers are high-capacity girder hangers designed for situations where the header and joist are flush at the top. These products can be used for retrofit on the framing members after they are temporarily placed in position. Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive screws (SDS) make installation fast and easy, with no pre-drilling required. MATERIAL: See table FINISH: Galvanized, HHGUSimpson Strong-Tie gray paint. Available in hot-dip galvanized, order as X version and specify HDG. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. 1 Install with Simpson Strong-Tie SDS 14"x2 2" screws, which are provided with the GUs. (Note: lag screws will not achieve the same loads.) All multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit. Multiple member headers may require additional fasteners at the hanger locations. The quantity and location of the additional fasteners must be determined by the Designer. For installation to concrete or masonry walls, see LGUM and HGUM hangers page 162. OPTIONS: Other seat widths available. Order as X version, specify width. See Hanger Options, pages 216-217, for one flange concealed 11 option. MGU with W 4" or less and HGU with W 4 16" or less cannot be concealed. LGU, MGU and HGU hangers may be skewed up to 45. See page 224. CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

TOP FLANGE HANGERS HHB/GB/HGB
Beam & Purlin Hangers

Factory Weld
See table on page 95. See Hanger Options on pages 216-217 for hanger modifications, which may result in reduced loads. This series of beam and purlin hangers may be used for wood to wood or wood to steel applications. Precision forming provides dimensional accuracy and helps ensure proper bearing area and connection. MATERIAL: See table on page 95 FINISH: HHB, GB, HGB, all saddle hangers and all welded sloped and special hangers Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint. May be ordered hot-dip galvanized; specify HDG. INSTALLATION: Use specified fasteners. See General Notes. HHB, GB and HGB may be used for weld-on applications. The minimum required weld to the top flanges is 316" x 2" fillet weld to each side of each top flange tab. Distribute the weld equally on both top flanges. Welding cancels the top and face nailing requirements. Consult the code for special considerations when welding galvanized steel. The area should be well-ventilated. See page 17 for weld information. Weld on applications produce the maximum allowable load listed. Uplift loads do not apply to welded applications. Ledgers must be evaluated for each application separately. Check TF dimension, nail length and nail location on ledger. 1 OPTIONS: HHBother widths are available; specify W dimension (the minimum W dimension is 2 2"). Saddle hangers are made to order; add D to model (e.g. HHBD3); specify S (for saddle) dimension. They may be used for most conditions except at end wall locations, and are preferred for nailer applications. The coating on special B hangers will depend on the manufacturing process used. Check with your Simpson Strong-Tie representative for details. Hot-dip galvanized available: specify HDG. B dimensions may be increased on some models. See Hanger Options, pages 215-224.
Typical HHB, GB and HGB Saddle Installation
HHB, GB and HGB are acceptable for weld-on applications. See Installation Information.
TOP FLANGE HANGERS WM/WMU/WP/WPU/HW/HWU

The WPU, HWU and HW series purlin hangers offer the greatest design flexibility and versatility. MATERIAL: WP/WPU7 ga. top flange, 12 ga. stirrup; HW3 ga. top flange, 11 ga. stirrup; HWU3 ga. top flange, 10 ga. stirrup FINISH: Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint; hot-dip galvanized available: specify HDG. INSTALLATION: Hangers may be welded to steel headers with 316" for WPU/WP, and 14" for 1 HW/HWU, by 1 2" fillet welds located at each end of the top flange. Weld-on applications produce maximum allowable load listed. See page 17 for weld information. For uplift loads refer to technical bulletin T-WELDUPLFT (see page 232 for details). Hangers can support multi-ply carried members; the individual members must be secured together to work as a single unit before installation into the hanger. MID-WALL INSTALLATION: Installed between blocks with duplex nails cast into grout with a minimum of one grouted course above and below the top flange and one #5 vertical rebar minimum 24" long in each adjacent cell. TOP OF WALL INSTALLATION: Install on top of wall to a grouted beam with masonry screws. OPTIONS: See Hanger Options, pages 216-217, for hanger modifications and associated load reductions. CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

1. Roof loads are 125% of floor loads unless limited by other criteria. 1 2". 2. Allowable loads assume a carrying member width of 5 3. Specify H dimension.
4. Triangle Theory: Some code jurisdictions allow only half of the top flange bearing area to be considered when performing a top flange hanger calculation as there is non-uniform stress under the top flange (presumed to be a triangular shaped distribution). Therefore, loads are published above using the calculated Triangle Theory. Loads are also published in the No Triangle Theory columns which are based on calculations assuming full bearing on the top flange which do not exceed the tested value with a reduction factor of 3.

TOP FLANGE HANGERS
Flush Framing Top flange configuration and thickness of top flange need to be considered for flush frame conditions.
Hanger Over-Spread If the hanger is overspread, it can raise the I-joist above the header and may cause uneven surfaces and squeaky floors.
Hanger Not Plumb A hanger kickedout from the header can cause uneven surfaces and squeaky floors.
PREVENT ROTATION
Hangers provide some joist rotation resistance; however, additional lateral restraint may be required for deep joists.
No Rotation Resistance Lack of web stiffeners combined with short hanger allows unwanted rotation.
Rotation Prevented by Web Stiffeners Hanger height should be at least 60% of joist height.
Rotation Prevented by Web Stiffeners If hanger height is less than 60% of the joist height, add clips or blocking near the top.
Rotation Prevented by Lateral Flange Support Side of hanger laterally support the top flange of the I-joist. No web stiffeners required!
WOOD NAILERS
Correct Attachment
Nailer Too Wide The loading may cause cross-grain bending. As a general rule, the maximum allowable overhang is 14", depending on nailer thickness.
Nailer Too Narrow Nailer should be full width.
Nailer Too Thin or the wrong hanger for the application.
TOE-NAILING
POSITIVE ANGLE NAILING

SLOPED JOISTS For sloped joists up to 14:12 there is no reduction. For slopes greater than 1 4:12 see individual product pages or refer to technical bulletin T-SLOPEJST (see page 232 for details). MULTIPLE JOISTS Multiple joists should be adequately connected together to act as one unit. FASTENERS Use the correct nails. Wood may split if the nails are too large. Hanger nails into flanges should not exceed 10d common 1 (0.148 dia.), no longer than 1 2". Nails into web stiffeners should not exceed 16d commons (0.162 dia.). ECCENTRICALLY-LOADED I-JOISTS Supporting a top flange hanger may require bottom flange restraining straps, blocking or directly-applied ceiling systems to prevent rotation at the hanger location. SKEWED JOISTS 1 2 Joists may be skewed up to 2 degrees in a non-skewed hanger without any load reduction. Refer to individual hanger descriptions for information allowing any further skew applications. I-JOIST AS A HEADER INSTALLATIONS
When face mount hangers are attached to I-joist headers, backer blocks must be installed to provide a nailing surface for the hanger nails. The backer blocks should be installed on both sides of the web and attached together with a minimum of 10-10d nails. The hanger nails should extend through the web. Contact the I-Joist manufacturer for additional design considerations. Face Mount Hanger
When top flange hangers are attached to I-joist headers, a backer block must be installed to prevent the top flange from rotating under load. The backer blocks should be installed with a minimum of 10-10d nails clinched. Check with the joist manufacturer for additional design considerations.

Allowable loads are the lesser of the values in the Hanger tables on pages 102-106 or the weld capacity refer to technical bulletin T-HUHUC-W (see page 231 for details). OPTIONS: HU hangers available with the 5 header flanges turned in for 2 16" and larger widths, with no load reductionorder HUC hanger. Model configurations may See Hanger Options on pages differ from those shown. 216-217 for sloped and/or Some HU models do not skewed U/HU models, and HUC have triangle holes. Contact (concealed flange) models. Simpson Strong-Tie for details. See also HUS series. HUCQ cannot be modified.

FACE MOUNTHANGERS HUS/HHUS/HGUS Double Shear SCL Hangers

See Hanger tables on pages 105-106. See Hanger Options on pages 215-224 for hanger modifications, which may result in reduced loads. These hangers are designed for applications where higher loads are needed (also see HUC and HUCQ). All hangers in this series have double shear nailing. This patented innovation distributes the load through two points on each joist nail for greater strength. It also allows the use of fewer nails, faster installation, and the use of common nails for all connections. (Do not bend or remove tabs) MATERIAL: See tables, pages 105-106. FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in stainless steel or ZMAX; see Corrosion Information, page 14-15. INSTALLATION Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Do not use double shear hangers with I-joists. Nails must be driven at an angle through the joist or truss into the header to achieve the table loads. Not designed for welded or nailer applications. 1 4" long) may be used where 16d sinkers (0.148" dia. x 3 10d commons are specified with no reduction in load. Where 16d commons are specified, 10d commons or 16d sinkers (0.148" dia. x 314" long) may be used at 0.85 of the table load. 1 With 3x carrying members, use 16dx2 2" (Simpson Strong-Tie N16) nails into the header and 16d commons into the joist with no load 1 2" nails into the reduction. With 2x carrying members, use 10dx1 header and 10d commons into the joist, and reduce the load to 0.64 of the table value. OPTIONS: HUS hangers available with the header flanges turned in for 1 2" wide joist only, with no load reduction. See HUSC Concealed 3 Flange illustration. Concealed flanges are not available for HGUS, HUS1.81/10 and HHUS. See Hanger Options, pages 215-224, for sloped and/or skewed HHUS and HGUS models.

1. Uplift loads based on DF/SP lumber and have been increased for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed. Reduce where other loads govern. For SPF/HF, use 0.86 x DF/SP Uplift Load for products requiring nails and 0.72 x DF/SP Uplift Load for products requiring screws. 2. 10d commons or 16d sinkers may be used instead of the specified 16d at 0.84 of the table load value. 3. 16d sinkers may be used instead of the specified 10d commons with no load reduction.
4. MIN nailing quantity and load valuesfill all round holes; MAX nailing quantity and load valuesfill all round and triangle holes. 5. Hangers sorted in order of recommended selection for best overall performance and installation value. 6. Allowable downloads are based on a joist bearing capacity of 750 psi. 1 2" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 7. Nails: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3 1 1 2 = 0.148" dia. x 1 2" long.

THAI
Designed for I-joists, the THAI has extra long straps and can be field-formed to give height adjustability and top flange hanger convenience. Positive angle nailing helps eliminate splitting of the I-joists bottom flange. MATERIAL: THAI-214 gauge; all others18 gauge FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Factory-order the THAI-2 for hanger width needed. See table for allowable widths. Use all specified fasteners. Verify that the header can take the fasteners specified in the table. Web stiffeners are required for all I-joists used with these hangers. When a total of 20 face nails are used in THAI straps, or 30 face nails are used in THAI-2 straps, the maximum load-carrying capacity is achieved. Reduce load given by allowable nail shear capacity for each nail less than maximum. A minimum nailing configuration is shown for top nailing installations. The strap must be 1 2". field-formed over the top of the header by a minimum of 2 UpliftLowest face nails must be filled to achieve uplift loads. CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

A dedicated range of Top Flange I-joist hangers meeting the unique needs of I-joists while offering superior performance and ease of installation. ITS The innovative ITS sets a new standard for engineered wood top flange hangers. The ITS installs faster and uses fewer nails than any other EWP top flange hanger. The new Strong-Grip seat and Funnel Flange features allow standard joist installation without requiring joist nails resulting in the lowest installed cost. The Strong-Grip seat firmly 1 1 secures I-joists with flange thicknesses from 1 8" to 1 2". MIT/HIT - Patented Positive Angle Nailing (PAN) PAN is specifically designed for I-joists when used with the MIT or HIT. With PAN, the nail hole material is not removed, but is formed to channel and confine the path of the nail at approximately 45. PAN minimizes splitting of the flanges while permitting time-saving nailing from a better angle. See Top Flange tables on pages 114-122. Refer to Joist Manufacturers literature or appropriate Simpson Strong-Tie Connector Selection Guide for actual joist sizes. MATERIAL: ITS18 gauge; MIT, HIT16 gauge FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table. See product specific installation drawings pages 108-109. ITSno joist nailing required for standard I-joist installation without web stiffeners. When supporting I-joists with web 1 stiffeners or rectangular SCL member 2-10dx1 2" must be installed into optional triangle joist nail holes for standard installation values. ITSoptional triangle nail holes may be used for additional load. See allowable load tables. Refer to technical bulletin T-OPTUPLIFT for additional options (see page 231 for details). MIToptional triangle nail holes may be used for increased uplift capacity. See Optional Nailing For Increased Uplift table. HITclosed PAN nail holes may be used for increased uplift capacity. See Optional Nailing For Increased Uplift table. For sloped joists up to 14:12 there is no reduction, between 1 4:12 and up to 12:12, tests show a 10% reduction in ultimate hanger strength. Local crushing of the bottom flange or excessive deflection may be limiting; check with joist manufacturer for specific limitations on bearing of this type. ALLOWABLE LOADS: The ITS, MIT and HIT hangers have locations for optional nails if additional uplift is needed. Optional uplift nailing requires the addition of properly-secured web stiffeners. See the load tables for minimum required fasteners and allowable uplift loads. OPTIONS: Because these hangers are fully die-formed, they cannot be modified.

TOP FLANGE HANGERS LBV/BA/B/HB I-Joist & Structural Composite Lumber Hangers
The BA hanger is a cost effective hanger targeted at high capacity I-joists and common Structural Composite Lumber applications. A min/max joist nail option gives dual use of this hanger. Minimum values featuring positive angle nailing are targeted at I-joist without web stiffeners requirement and the maximum nailing generates higher loads to support structural composite lumber. The unique two level embossment provides added stiffness to the top flange. The newly improved LBV, B and HB hangers offer wide versatility for I-joists and structural composite lumber. The enhanced load capacity widens the range of applications for these hangers. The LBVstill features positive angle nailing and does not require the use of web stiffeners for standard non modified I-joist installations. See Top Flange tables on pages 114-122. See Hanger Options on pages 216-217 for hanger modifications, which may result in reduced loads. MATERIAL: See tables, pages 114-122. FINISH: LBV, B, BA and HBGalvanized; all saddle hangers and all welded sloped and special hangersSimpson Strong-Tie gray paint. LBV, B, BA and HB may be ordered hot-dip galvanized; specify HDG. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes and nailer table. LBV, B, BA and HB may be used for weld-on applications. Weld size to match material thickness (approximate thickness shown). The minimum required weld to the top flanges is 18" x 2" fillet weld to each side of each top flange tab for 14 and 12 gauge and 316" x 2" fillet weld to each side of each top flange tab for 7 gauge and 10 gauge. Distribute the weld equally on both top flanges. Welding cancels the top and face nailing requirements. Consult the code for special considerations when welding galvanized steel. The area should be well-ventilated, see page 17 for weld information. Weld on applications produce the maximum allowable down load listed. For uplift loads refer to technical bulletin T-WELDUPLFT. LBV hangers do not require the use of web stiffeners for non-sloped or non-skewed applications. B and HB hangers require the use of web stiffeners. BA MIN nailing does not require web stiffeners. BA MAX nailing requires the use of web stiffeners. Ledgers must be evaluated for each application separately. Check TF dimension, nail length and nail location on ledger. Refer to technical bulletin T-SLOPEJST (see page 232 for details) for information regarding load reductions on selected hangers which can be used without modification to support joists which have shallow slopes ( 34:12). OPTIONS: LBV, B and HB 9 Other widths are available; specify W dimension (the minimum W dimension is 1 16"). The coating on special B hangers will depend on the manufacturing process used. Check with your Simpson Strong-Tie representative for details. Hot-dip galvanized available: specify HDG. Refer to technical bulletin T-BSERIES (see page 230 for details) for the complete line of LBV, BA, B and HB hangers, including models not shown here, their available modification combinations and their associated reduction factors. Modified hangers have reduced loads, see Hanger Options, pages 215-224. CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

TOP FLANGE HANGERS W/WP/WPU/WM/WMU/HW/HWU

The W, WP, WPU, HWU and HW series are designed to hang joists, purlins or beams. WM and WMU hangers are designed for use on standard 8" grouted masonry block wall construction. Some models have an I in the model number which indicates a size specific for an I-Joist and have the same properties and modifications as the standard series. MATERIAL: See tables on pages 114-122. FINISH: Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint; HDG available. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. WMtwo 16d duplex nails must be installed into the top flange and embedded into the grouted wall. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table. Hangers may be welded to steel headers with 18" for W, 316" for WP, WPU, and 1 1 4" for HW, HWU by 1 2" fillet welds located at each end of the top flange, see page 17 for weld information. Weld-on applications produce maximum allowable load listed. For uplift loads refer to technical bulletin T-WELDUPLFT (WPU and HWU hangers only). Hangers can support multi-ply carried members; the individual members must be secured together to work as a single unit before installation into the hanger. Hangers can support joists sloped up to 14:12 using table loads. For joists sloping between 14:12 and 34:12 use 85% of the table loads. Web stiffeners are required for standard joist nailing configuration with these hangers. WM/WMU MID-WALL INSTALLATION: Installed between blocks with duplex nails cast into grout with a minimum of one grouted course above and below the top flange grouted and one #5 vertical rebar minimum 24" long in each adjacent cell. WM/WMU TOP-OF-WALL INSTALLATION: Install on top of wall to a grouted beam with masonry screws. OPTIONS: See Hanger Options, pages 216-217 for hanger modifications and associated load reductions.

SUR/SUL/HSUR/HSUL Skewed 45 Hangers for I-Joist and SCL

The SUR/L1.81, 2.06, 2.1, 2.37, 2.56 and HSUR/L series are 45 skewed hangers designed specifically to ease the installation of single and double I-joists. In addition to Positive Angle Nailing these hangers encapsulate the top flange of the I-joist, so no web stiffeners are required for standard installation. The full range of 45 skewed hangers feature obround nail holes on the acute side allowing nails to be easily installed parallel to the joist. Installation is further simplified with no required bevel cuts. MATERIAL: See table on page 124. FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in ZMAX coating; see Corrosion Information, page 14-15. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Illustrations show left and right skews SUR/L (SUR = skewed right; SUL = skewed left). The joist end may be square cut or bevel cut. Fill all round and obround nail holes with specified fasteners to achieve table loads. Where noted, triangle holes in the joist flange may be filled for additional uplift capacity (see footnote on page 124). 5 16", web stiffeners are required for all For I-joists with flanges less than 1 double joist hangers when using hangers that are 14 gauge and lighter. For installations to masonry or concrete, see page 161. OPTIONS: These hangers will accommodate a 40 to 50 skew. Typical SUR Available with the A2 flange turned in on 2-2x and 4x models only Installation with (see illustration). For example, specify HSURC410, HSULC410, Square Cut Joist SURC210-2, or SULC210-2.

SDW
Strong-Drive Structural Wood Screws
The Strong-Drive SDW screw is a 0.22" diameter, high-strength structural wood screw specifically designed for fastening multi-ply wood members such as plated trusses, engineeredlumber products and solid-sawn lumber. The SDW installs easily with no pre-drilling and is 3 available in optimized lengths for fastening 2, 3 and 4-ply trusses or 1 4" engineered lumber W 22 such as structural composite lumber (SCL). The SDW enables single-side fastening, while still allowing concurrent loading on both sides of the assembly to the full allowable head or tip-side load of the fastener. X.X X Low-profile head for reduced interference during handling or installation of hardware on the assembly 34" High shear values enable wider screw spacing Bold thread design firmly cinches plies together to close gaps in multi-ply assemblies Optimal screw lengths provide maximum penetration 0.22" MATERIAL: Heat-treated carbon steel FINISH: Black E-coat L Warning: Industry studies show that hardened fasteners can experience performance SDW problems in wet or corrosive environments. Accordingly, the SDW wood screws should U.S. Patents only be used in dry, interior and non-corrosive environments. 5,897,280 INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. 7,101,133, T-40 SDW screws install best with a low-speed 12" drill and a T-40 6-lobe bit. The matched and Driver Bit bit included with the screws is recommended for best results. patent pending (included) TL Pre-drilling is typically not required. SDW screws may be installed through metal truss BIT40-R1 plates as approved by the Truss Designer, provided the requirements of ANSI/TPI 1-2007 Section 8.9.2 are met (pre-drilling required through the plate using a maximum of 532" bit). Screw heads that are countersunk flush to the wood surface are acceptable if the screw has not spun out. Individual screw locations may be adjusted up to 3" to avoid conflicts with other hardware or to avoid lumber defects. Notes to the Designer: 1. Single-fastener shear loads for Tables 1-4, and withdrawal loads in this section, are based on testing per ICC-ES AC233. Allowable withdrawal load for DF/SP/SCL is 200 pounds per inch (lbs./in.) and for SPF/HF withdrawal is 150 lbs/in. Total allowable withdrawal load is based on actual thread penetration into the main member. 2. Allowable loads in tables are shown at the load duration factor of CD = 1.00 and shall be multiplied by all applicable adjustment factors per the NDS. Loads may be increased for load duration per the building code up to a CD of 1.6. 7 16" edge distance, 58" between staggered rows of fasteners, 3. Minimum fastener spacing requirements: 6" end distance, 1 4" between non-staggered rows of fasteners and 6" between fasteners in a row. Note exceptions in Table 5. 4. Maximum fastener spacing is recommended to not exceed 24" on-center except as approved by a qualified Designer. 5. For structural composite lumber (SCL = LVL, PSL or LSL) loads, assume an equivalent Specific Gravity of 0.50 or higher. 6. Tabular loads in this document are based on the capacity of the Simpson Strong-Tie SDW22 fasteners. The capacity of the multi-ply assembly must be checked by a qualified Designer. 7. For top loaded solid sawn 2x built-up assemblies that are evenly loaded across the entire assembly width, the recommended fastener 3 spacing is two rows at 32" o.c.. For top-loaded SCL 1 4" built up assemblies that are evenly loaded across the entire assembly width, the recommended fastener spacing is two rows at 24" o.c. for up to 18" deep members, and 3 rows at 24" o.c. for members deeper than 18".

Lumber Fastening in Dry Climates

The highlighted regions on this map may experience drier conditions which can result in reduced lumber thickness (scant lumber) due to wood shrinkage. To help ensure optimum thread penetration into the main (last) member without excessive protrusion, Simpson Strong-Tie offers 3 the 4 8" and 6" lengths of the SDW screw, which are sized for the thinner members common in these desert climates (see table above). It is the responsibility of the Truss Manufacturer or contractor/installer to determine the appropriate fastener length for any given application. (See tables and footnotes for minimum required penetration.)

The THA series have extra long straps that can be fieldformed to give height adjustability and top flange hanger convenience. THA hangers can be installed as top flange or face mount hangers. THA4x and THA2x-2 models feature a dense nail pattern in the straps, which provides more installation options and allows for easy top flange installation. MATERIAL: See table FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in ZMAX coating; see Corrosion Information, page 14-15. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. The following installation methods may be used: Top Flange InstallationThe straps must be field formed over the header see table for minimum top flange requirements. Install top and face nails according to the table. Top nails shall THA418 THAC422 not be within 14" from the edge of the top flange members. For the THA29, nails used for joist attachment must be driven at an angle so that they penetrate through the corner of the joist and into the header. For all other top flange installations, straighten the double shear nailing tabs and install the nails straight into the joist. Face Mount InstallationInstall all face nails according to the table. Not all nail holes will be filled on all models. On models Refer to where there are more nail holes than required, the lowest 4 face footnote 6 holes must be filled. Nails used for the joist attachment must be driven at an angle so that they penetrate through the corner of the joist into the header.

1. Uplift has been increased 60% for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern. 2. Wind (160) is a download rating. 3. For single 4x2 top chord carrying members or single 2x nailers, the 1 following THA hangers can be installed using 10dx1 2" top nails and 2-16d face nails with reduced allowable loads as noted: THA418/THA422: 1415 lbs. for DF/SP, 1215 lbs. for SPF; THA426: 2245 lbs. for DF/SP, 1930 lbs. for SPF; THA422-2/THA426-2: 2345 lbs. for DF/SP, 2015 lbs. for SPF. Loads are based on hanger installations at panel points. 4. Face mount installation loads are based on minimum of 2-ply 2x
1 carrying member. For single 2x carrying members, use 10dx1 2" nails into the carrying member and tabulated fasteners into the carried member, and use 0.80 of the table value for 18 gauge, and 0.68 of the table value for 16 gauge and 14 gauge. 5. Min. Top Flange refers to the minimum length of strap that must be field formed over the header. 6. For the THA 2x models, one strap may be installed vertically according to the face mount nailing requirements and the other strap wrapped over the truss chord according to the top flange nailing requirements (see drawing above) and achieve full tabulated top flange installation loads. 1 7.

THASR/L Adjustable/Skewable Truss Hangers

The THASR/L hangers combine the height adjustability of THA hangers with field skewability, offering maximum flexibility for the installer, and eliminating the need for special orders. 1 1 Shipped at 22 2 right or left, the THASR/L hangers can be field skewed from 22 2 to 75. The new THASR/L29, 29-2 and 422 are replacing the former 218, 218-2 and 418 versions. FEATURES: The THASR/L single and two-ply versions have straps 9" tall. The 4x version has 22" straps to fit more parallel-chord truss applications. The new versions have only one acute side bend line to ease design and installation. 1 Joist fasteners are only required from one side for skews greater than 22 2. Rated for installation with either nails or Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SD screws. MATERIAL: 16 gauge FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. 1 1 Product is factory skewed to 22 2 and may be field skewed from 22 2 to 75. 1 See Installation Sequence below for skews greater than 22 2. 1 For 22 2 skew installations, fill all triangle holes. Triangle holes do not need to be 1 filled for skews greater than 22 2. For all installations, fill the fastener hole(s) in the bottom of the hanger seat (THASR/L29 has one and all other models have two). For top flange installations, the straps must be field-formed over the header a minimum of 2". THASR/L29 and THASR/L29-2For installations where either strap cannot be field-formed over the header, install the strap(s) vertical and fill all holes. Loads must be reduced as noted in the table footnotes. THASR/L422For face-mount installations, install the carrying member fasteners into the lowest holes.

W/WP/WM Plated Truss Top Flange Hangers

The W and WP hangers offer design flexibility and versatility supporting trusses off of wood or steel. WM hangers are designed for use on standard 8" grouted masonry block wall construction. MATERIAL: W, WM12 gauge top flange and stirrup, WP7 gauge top flange and 12 gauge stirrup FINISH: Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint; hot-dip galvanized available: specify HDG. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. Hangers may be welded to steel headers with 18" for W, and 316" 1 for WP, by 1 2" fillet welds located at each end of the top flange. Weld-on applications produce maximum allowable load listed. Uplift loads do not apply to this application. Hangers can support multi-ply carried members; the individual members must be secured together to work as a single unit before installation into the hanger. MID-WALL INSTALLATION: Installed between blocks with duplex nails cast into grout with a minimum of one grouted course above and below the top flange and one #5 vertical rebar minimum 24" long in each adjacent cell. TOP OF WALL INSTALLATION: Install on top of wall to a grouted beam with masonry screws. OPTIONS: For 4x2 trusses, specify alternate nail pattern (ANP) which relocates the nails to the bottom of the joist. See Hanger Options, pages 216-217 for hanger modifications. CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

Double Shear Joist Hangers

1" for 2xs 1116" for 4xs
All hangers in this series have double shear nailing an innovation that distributes the load through two points on each joist nail for greater strength. This allows for fewer nails, faster installation, and the use of all common nails for the same connection. Double shear hangers range from the light capacity LUS hangers to the highest capacity HGUS hangers. For medium load truss applications, the MUS offers a lower cost alternative and easier installation than the HUS or THA hangers, while providing greater load capacity and bearing than the LUS. MATERIAL: See tables below and on page 135. FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in stainless steel or ZMAX coating; see Corrosion Information, page 14-15. INSTALLATION Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Nails must be driven at an angle through the joist or truss into the header to achieve the table loads. Not designed for welded or nailer applications. OPTIONS: LUS and MUS hangers cannot be modified. HUS hangers available with the header flanges turned in for 1 2-2x (3 8") and 4x only, with no load reduction. See HUSC Concealed Flange illustration. Concealed flanges are not available for HGUS and HHUS. See Hanger Options, page 216, for sloped and/or skewed HHUS models. Other sizes available; consult your Simpson Strong-Tie representative. CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

1. Uplift loads have been increased 60% for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed. For normal loading applications such as cantilever construction refer to Simpson Strong-Tie Connector Selector software or conservatively divide the uplift load by 1.6. 2. Wind (160) is a download rating. 3. Minimum heel height shown is required to achieve full table loads. For less than minimum heel height, see technical bulletin T-REDHEEL (see page 232 for details). 4. Truss chord cross-grain tension may limit allowable loads in accordance with
ANSI/TPI 1-2007. Simpson Strong-Tie Connector Selector Software includes the evaluation of cross-grain tension in its hanger allowable loads. For additional information, contact Simpson Strong-Tie. 5. Loads shown are based on minimum of 2-ply 2x carrying member. With 3x carrying 1 members, use 16dx2 2" nails into the header and 16d commons into the joist with no 1 2" nails into the header load reduction. With single 2x carrying members, use 10dx1 and 10d commons into the joist, and reduce the load to 0.64 of the table value. 1 2" long. See page 22-23 for other nail sizes and information. 6.

HTU
Face Mount Truss Hangers
The HTU face mount truss hangers have nail patterns designed specifically for shallow heel heights, so that full allowable loads (with minimum nailing) 7 apply to heel heights as low as 3 8". Minimum and maximum nailing options provide solutions for varying heel heights and end conditions. Alternate allowable loads are provided for gaps between the end of the truss and the carrying member up to 12" max. to allow for greater construction tolerances (maximum gap for standard allowable loads is 18" per ASTM D1761 and D7147). MATERIAL: 16 gauge FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Can be installed filling round holes only, or filling round and triangle holes for maximum values. See alternate installation for applications using the HTU26 on a 2x4 carrying member or HTU28 or HTU210 on a 2x6 carrying member for additional uplift capacity. OPTIONS: See Hanger Options on pages 216-217 for skew options. CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

1. The maximum hanger gap is measured between the joist (or truss) end and the carrying member. 2. Minimum heel heights required for full table loads are based on a minimum 2/12 pitch. 3. Uplift has been increased for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern. 4. Wind (160) is a download rating. 5. For hanger gaps between 18" and 12" use the Alternate Allowable Loads. 6. Truss chord cross-grain tension may limit allowable loads in accordance with
ANSI/TPI 1-2007. Simpson Strong-Tie Connector Selector Software includes the evaluation of cross-grain tension in its hanger allowable loads. For additional information, contact Simpson Strong-Tie. 7. Loads shown are based on a minimum 2-ply 2x carrying member. For single 1 2x carrying members, use N10 (10dx1 2") nails into the header and reduce the allowable download to 0.70 of the table value. The allowable uplift is 100% of the table load. 1 1 2" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 2 = 8. Nails: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3 0.148" dia. x 112" long.

HGUQ Multi-Ply Girder Truss Hangers

HGUQ hangers provide similar capacities as HGUS double shear hangers, but they use Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS screws instead of nails for faster and easier installation. In addition, the SDS screws help transfer the load between the plies of the supporting girder when they penetrate all plies. MATERIAL: 12 gauge FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS screws supplied. Not designed for welded or nailer applications. The thickness of the supporting girder must be equal to or greater than the screw length. For applications where the length of the supplied screws exceeds the thickness of the 1 supporting girder, 3" or 4 2" screws may be substituted for the longer length screws with no load reduction, or a shim block may used as approved by the Designer. OPTIONS: These hangers cannot be modified. CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

1. Uplift loads have been increased for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed. Reduce where other loads govern. 2. Wind (160) is a download rating. 3. Truss chord cross-grain tension may limit allowable loads in accordance with ANSI/TPI 1-2007. Simpson Strong-Tie Connector Selector Software includes the evaluation of cross-grain tension in its hanger allowable loads. For additional information, contact Simpson Strong-Tie. 4. Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive screws are permitted to be installed through metal truss plates as approved by the Truss Designer, provided the requirements of ANSI/TPI 1-2007 Sections 7.5.3.4 and 8.9.2 are met (pre-drilling required through the plate using a maximum of 532" bit).
5. SDS screws that penetrate all plies of the supporting girder (screws must penetrate a minimum of 1" into the last truss ply) may also be used to transfer the load through all the plies of the supporting girder. When SDS screws do not penetrate all plies of the supporting girder truss, supplemental SDS screws at the hanger locations may be required to transfer the load to the truss plies not penetrated by the face fasteners, as determined by the Designer. 6. The supporting girder truss must have adequate thickness to accommodate the screw length, 1 so that the screw does not protrude out the back of the girder. 3" or 4 2" long SDS screws may be substituted for the longer SDS screws with no load reduction. 7. For installations to LSL, use the DF/SP table loads.

1. Allowable Uplift loads have been increased for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern. 2. SDS screws that penetrate all plies of the supporting girder (screws must penetrate a minimum of 1" into the last truss ply) may also be used to transfer the load through all the plies of the supporting girder. When SDS screws do not penetrate all plies of the supporting girder truss, supplemental SDS screws at the hanger locations may be required to transfer the load to the truss plies not penetrated by the face fasteners, as determined by the Designer. 3" long SDS screws into face may be replaced with 1 2" or 6" long SDS screws with no load reduction. 4 3. Loads shown are based on a minimum 2-ply 2x8 carrying member. For single 2x 1 2" long SDS screws carrying members, replace 3" long SDS face fasteners with 1 and reduce the allowable download to 2630 lbs. for DF/SP and 1895 lbs. for SPF/HF. The tabulated allowable uplift load is not reduced.
4. Girders must be adequately laterally braced to prevent excessive displacement due to secondary torsional stresses (Ref ANSI/TPI 1-2007 Section 7.5.3.5). 5. Truss chord cross-grain tension may limit allowable loads. Designer to refer to ANSI/TPI Section 7.5.3.2 for connection details, limitations, and reductions. 6. Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive screws are permitted to be installed through metal truss plates as approved by the Truss Designer, provided the requirements of ANSI/TPI 1-2007 Sections 7.5.3.4 and 8.9.2 are met (pre-drilling required through the plate using a maximum of 532" bit). 7. For installations into LSL or PSL, use DF/SP table loads.

TJC37
Jack Truss Connector
TJC37 is a versatile connector for jack trusses. Adjustable from 0 to 67.5 degree (shipped with 67.5 degree bend). Nail hole locations allow for easy installation. Minimum nailing option provides faster installation and lower installed cost. MATERIAL: 16 gauge FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes. Can be installed filling round holes only, or filling round and triangle holes for maximum values. To reduce the potential for splitting, install the TJC37 with a minimum 316" edge distance on the chord members (must be centered on 2x4 chords). Position the jack truss on the inside of the bend line with the end of the jack truss flush with the bend line. Bend the TJC37 to the desired position (one bend cycle only). No bevel cut required. Applications involving attachment of TJC37 to the carried truss top chord requires minimum 2x6 carrying member for jack truss pitches up to 7/12, and 2x8 or larger for pitches greater than 7/12. 2x4 carried truss top chord allows for pitches from 0/12 to 3/12.

THJM
Multiple Truss Hip Jack Hanger
The new THJM is a non-welded hanger designed to carry radial-end jack framing and provide optimal efficiency for those multi-plane, angled bay roofs over breakfast, study and library alcoves. The unique patent pending design of the THJM accommodates 2x4 girder bottom chords and uses our Strong-Drive SDS screws for easy installation with minimal fasteners. FEATURES: The THJM hangers are designed for installation with SDS 14"x3" screws that are included with the parts. The THJM2-4-SDS3 is designed for four incoming jack 1 trusses with the outer jacks being 22 2 from the face of the girder and the inner jacks being 45 from each other and the outer jacks. The THJM2-5-SDS3 is designed for five jacks coming into the hanger at 30 from the girder and each other. Tabs on the seats of the THJM assist in the placement of the jacks and also include obround holes for optional 1 slant nails (10dx1 2") when increased uplift is required. MATERIAL: 12 gauge FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Each carried jack truss requires one SDS 14"x3" screw installed into the bottom chord through the bottom of the hanger seat. For installation on girders with 2x6 or 2x8 bottom chords, install one additional SDS 14"x3" screw in the triangular hole on each vertical strap. 1 Install two (2) 10dx1 2" slant nails in the obround holes on each of the seat tabs to achieve the additional uplift load noted in the footnote.

THGQ/THGQH/HTHGQ
SCL-to-Truss Girder Hangers
A lower cost alternative to bolted hangers, the THGQ and THGQH hangers for multi-ply girder trusses use Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS screws to provide high load capacities and easier installation compared to bolts. The SDS screws help transfer the load between the plies of the supporting girder when they penetrate all plies. THGQ and THGQH models offer minimum and optional maximum fastener quantities to accommodate varying design needs. Allowable loads for various girder web member sizes provide additional installation options. The HTHGQ is a high-load version designed to carry multi-ply trusses or composite lumber up to 5-ply girder trusses. For high-load capacities and easier installation compared to bolts, the HTHGQ is designed for use with Simpson Strong-Tie SDS screws. MATERIAL: THGQ7 gauge, THGQH/HTHGQ3 gauge FINISH: THGQGalvanized, THGQH/HTHGQSimpson Strong-Tie gray paint INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Can be installed filling round holes only, or filling round and triangle holes for maximum values. SDS screws supplied for all round and triangle holes. Installation may not require use of all SDS screws. All multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit. The thickness of the supporting girder must be equal to or greater than the screw length. For applications where the length of the supplied screws exceeds the thickness of the 1 2" screws may be substituted for supporting girder, 3" or 4 the longer length screws with no load reduction, or a shim block may be used as approved by the Designer. Girders must be adequately laterally braced to prevent excessive displacement due to secondary torsional stresses (Ref ANSI/TPI 1-2007 Section 7.5.3.5). OPTIONS: THGQH hangers for multi-ply truss girders may be skewed 45 degrees. THGQH for structural composite lumber (SCL) cannot be skewed. See Hanger Options on pages 215-224. CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

1. Allowable uplift loads have been increased for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern. 2. Connector must be installed centered on girder vertical webs. 3. Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive screws are permitted to be installed through metal truss plates as approved by the Truss Designer, provided the requirements of ANSI/TPI 1-2007 Section 7.5.3.4 and 8.9.2 are met (pre-drilling required through the plate using a maximum of 532" bit). 4. SDS screws that penetrate all plies of the supporting girder (screws must penetrate a minimum of 1" into the last truss ply) may also be used to
transfer the load through all the plies of the supporting girder. When SDS screws do not penetrate all plies of the supporting girder truss, supplemental SDS screws at the hanger locations may be required to transfer the load to the truss plies not penetrated by the face fasteners, as determined by the Designer. 5. The supporting girder truss must have adequate thickness to accommodate the screw length, 1 2" long SDS screws so that the screw does not protrude out the back of the girder. 3" or 4 may be substituted for the longer SDS screws with no load reduction. 1 6. For installations to LSL, use SDS 4"x3" and use the DF/SP table loads. 7. Wind (160) is a download rating.

THGBV/THGBHV/THGWV
An extension of the THGB/THGBH/THGW series, these high-capacity hangers are designed for attaching 2-ply, 3-ply or 4-ply sized structural composite lumber (SCL) to a girder truss. The THGBV offers optional installation with Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS screws, while the bolted THGBHV and THGWV offer higher load capacities. Two bucket heights are available for each width to accommodate a range of SCL sizes. Options for skewing or dropping the buckets for conditions where the SCL joist is lower than the girder bottom chord provide additional design flexibility for a variety of SCL-to-truss connections. MATERIAL: 3 gauge FINISH: Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. All multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit. 7 Maximum 11 8" bottom chord in the carrying member to allow for the minimum bolt end distance. Bolts must be installed symmetrically when using less than 8 bolts on the 8-bolt backplate. Girders must be adequately laterally braced to prevent excessive displacement due to secondary torsional stresses (Ref. ANSI/TPI 1-2007 Section 7.5.3.5). Shall be attached to a 2-ply girder truss to allow for required minimum screw penetration. See footnote 4. OPTIONS: See Hanger Options pages 215-224 for hanger modifications and associated load reductions. CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

AHEP
Adjustable Hip-End Purlin

Tongue Side-ange fasteners two (2) #10x 3 4" each side
5 6 7
For wood and cold-formed steel trusses, the Simpson Strong-Tie AHEP is a structural purlin that also serves as an installation lateral restraint and spacer during the truss erection process. The AHEP attaches to the leading edge of stepdown hip trusses, eliminating the need for drop-top chords, 2x lumber or gable end fillers. The interlocking design of the AHEP allows them to install linearly, aligned with the end jacks, to maintain framing spacing from eave to hip or peak. Roof sheathing/decking attaches directly to the purlin with knurled pneumatic fasteners or low-profile head, self-drilling screws. Adjustable in length, the AHEP is designed to accommodate a pitch range of 3/12 to 9/12 as a structural purlin and up to 12/12 as an installation lateral restraint and spacer. FEATURES: A structural purlin to which sheathing can be directly attached no need to remove temporary bracing Accurately spaces the installed trusses and helps meet the temporary top-chord lateral restraint recommendations of WTCA/TPI BCSI on step-down hip ends Adjustable in length to accommodate a wide pitch range MATERIAL: 20 gauge (33 mil) FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes. Prior to installation, the AHEP must be set to the proper length and the two tubes fastened together with four #10 x 34" self-drilling screws through the round holes in the side flanges for pitches between 3/12 and 9/12; and in the triangular and upper round hole when the AHEP will be used as an installation restraint and spacer at pitches 9/12 up to 12/12. For trusses spaced 24" o.c., the pitch markings on the inner tube may be used to line up the tubes to the correct length for a given pitch. For other spacings, the length of the AHEP must be set to the calculated sloping length (from leading edge to leading edge of the framing members). To install the AHEPs on wood trusses, use four 10d (.148"x3") nails. The two nails at the bottom of the part (the yoke end) must be clinched. Sheathing is attached to the AHEP with knurled pneumatic fasteners or low-profile-head, self-drilling screws. For efficiency, the AHEPs should be installed in line with the end jacks so that framing alignment can be maintained from eave to hip/ridge. CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

TSBR Truss Spacer-Restraint

The Simpson Strong-Tie TSBR truss spacer-restraint is a time-saving lateral-restraint product for wood and CFS framing that improves quality and safety while helping to meet the prescriptive recommendations of the WTCA/TPI. Easier to install than wood bracing, the TSBR firmly grips the trusses, capturing on-center spacing and keeping them vertical and plumb after placement, resulting in a better truss installation. The unique design eliminates additional time spent measuring truss spacing and laying out temporary lateral bracing. And once installed, the TSBR can remain in place to be sheathed over, thereby eliminating the need to remove temporary bracing and creating a safer, more stable work platform. FEATURES: Enables the quick and accurate spacing of trusses without measuring or adjusting Helps meet prescriptive temporary bracing recommendations of the BCSI Easily grabs onto the truss may be put in place with one hand Stays in place during sheathing, saving time and making the roof more stable for workers Installs in less time and requires less total bracing material than prescriptive wood bracing methods reducing labor costs The TSBR is a direct replacement for the TSB Truss Spacer Bracer. MATERIAL: 22 gauge FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes. TSBR lateral restraint locations are as recommended in Table B2-1 of WTCA/TPI BCSI or the BCSI B2 Summary Sheet. For more information see the Simpson Strong-Tie Wood Truss Bracing and Restraint Guide (F-TSBRTBD22). CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

TBD22 Diagonal Brace

The TBD22 diagonal truss brace offers a time-saving subsitute for 2x4 diagonal bracing that helps meet the recommendations of WTCA/TPI BCSI. The TBD travels in a box like a flat strap, and is formed into an A-shape as it is pulled from the carton to provide rigidity and prevent sagging between trusses during installation. As it is fastened to the trusses the brace flattens, allowing sheathing to be installed right over it and saving the time typically needed to remove 2x4 bracing. When installed on the top and bottom chords as well as the web planes, the TBD captures the lateral construction and wind forces delivered by the TSBR truss spacer restraints and transfers it diagonally in tension to the edge of the braced-truss system. When used in conjunction with the TSBR, the TBD22 meets or exceeds the the recommendations set forth by the WTCA/TPI BCSI. FEATURES: Helps meet prescriptive temporary bracing recommendations of the WTCA/TPI BCSI. Rigid A-shape design virtually eliminates sagging between trusses spaced 16"-24" on center. Can be sheathed over after installation, no need to remove bracing. Dimpled nailing grid allows installation with standard pneumatic fasteners. 160' of bracing in an easy-to-handle carton. MATERIAL: 22 gauge FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes. Strap does not have holes for fasteners. Nails shall be installed in the dimpled areas and placed to maintain a minimum of 14" strap edge distance and a minimum of 12" center to center distance. Nails should be installed in the center of the lumber narrow face and with a minimum edge distance of 1" on the lumber wide face. TBD22 straps span diagonally at approximately 45. Strap shall not be slack, but tight and ready to engage in tension. To resist construction forces, diagonal X-bracing is required at each end and every 10 truss spaces (20' max). Refer to WTCA/TPI BCSI for additional information. At the end of the TBD braces trusses shall be laterally braced to resist out of plane forces. Bracing locations shown in the drawing are recommendations for temporary bracing only. Installation of TBD braces for permanent lateral bracing shall be per the Building Designer.

TBE
Truss Bearing Enhancers
The TBE transfers load from the truss or girder to plates for bearing-limited conditions and provides exceptional uplift capacity. Replaces nail-on scabs that provide lower load transfer, or in some cases, an additional ply when needed for bearing. One size works with any number of girder plies. The table lists allowable loads for TBE4 used on 2x4 and TBE6 used on 2x6 top plates. The table gives the different loads calculated for TBE with and without wood bearing. See Fastener Schedule below and page 154 for Alternate Installation. MATERIAL: 18 gauge FINISH: Galvanized. See Corrosion Information, page 14-15. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. TBE must be installed in pairs. Top plate size is 2x4 for TBE4, 2x6 for TBE6. Use alternate installation for TBE4 and TBE6 on larger plates or pre-sheathed walls. See page 154.

Example: Gable Brace Cut Diagram
Step 1 Double angle cut the gable brace to sit flat on the wall double top plate and flush against the gable end truss for 2x4 top plate. The double angle cuts should form a 90 angle on the end of the gable brace.
Step 2 Set each GBC on top of the double top plate so that the bend line slots are flush with the inside edge of the double top plate. Install fasteners into the top of the double top plate.
Step 3 Bend GBC legs (one time only)over the inside of the double top plate and install fasteners.
Step 4 Install fasteners into the gable brace. Note: Attach the other end of the gable brace to blocking at the roof diaphragm as directed by the Designer.

HU and HUC products are heavy duty face mount joist hangers made from 14 gauge galvanized steel. The HUC is a concealed flange version of the HU. Concealed flange hangers have the header flanges turned in. 5 16" or HU is available with header flanges concealed, provided the W dimension is 2 greater, at 100% of the table load. Specify HUC. HU is available with one header flange concealed when the W dimension is less than 5 16" at 100% of the table load. 2 For allowable loads on HUproducts not listed in the table request technical bulletin T-HUHUCTTN (see page 231 for details). MATERIAL: 14 gauge FINISH: Galvanized, ZMAX and stainless steel available Installation: These hangers are attached to grouted CMU walls using 14" x234" hex head Simpson Strong-Tie Titen screws or for concrete walls using 14" x134" hex head Titen screws. Titen screws are not provided. Drill the 316" diameter hole to the specified embedment depth plus 12". Alternatively, drill the 316" diameter hole to the specified embedment depth and blow it clean using compressed air. Caution: Oversized holes in the base material will reduce or eliminate the mechanical interlock of the threads with the base material and will reduce the anchors load capacity. The hangers should be installed such that a minimum end and edge distance of 1 2" is maintained. 1 Provide moisture barrier between beam and wall per jurisdictional requirements.

MBHU Masonry Beam Hangers

The new MBHU beam hanger provides a face-mounted solution for connecting beams to masonry or concrete walls. A non-welded, one-piece connector, the MBHU is suitable for solid sawn and engineered wood beams as well as trusses. Installation is simplified because the Titen HD screw anchor and Strong-Drive SDS screws are included with the hanger. Since the Titen HD anchor is installed after the wall is built, locating the anchor in the right spot is easier than with cast-in-place bolts. Material: 10 gauge Finish: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners (included). Attach hanger to a concrete or grouted CMU wall using Titen HD anchors. Note the following: - Drill holes using drill bits equal in diameter to the specified Titen HD anchor. - Holes shall be drilled 12" deeper than the specified 1 Titen HD length (i.e. 5 2" for a 5" long Titen HD anchor) - Caution: Oversized holes in the base material will reduce or eliminate the mechanical interlock of the threads with the base material and will reduce the anchors load capacity. Titen HD is not recommended for exposed exterior applications. Provide moisture barrier between beam 1 and wall per jurisdictional requirements.

Embedded Truss Anchors and Truss Seat Snap-In
Masonry Connectors
The embedded truss anchor series provides an engineered method to properly attach roof trusses to concrete and masonry walls. The products are designed with staggered nail patterns for greater uplift resistance. Information regarding the use of two anchors on single- and multi-ply trusses is included. The TSS, a companion product of the META, provides a moisture barrier between the concrete and truss. The 131/4" preassembled unit is riveted with no height adjustment. The DETAL20 is a high capacity embedded truss anchor for attachment of single-ply trusses to concrete and masonry walls. It combines dual embedded anchors with a structural moisture-barrier seat that is partially embedded in the concrete or grout. This seat serves to protect the truss and also provides additional lateral and uplift capacity. The embedded anchors are pre-attached to the moisture barrier through slots that allow for a slight amount of adjustability, providing flexibility during 5 Em 41/2" 7 /8" 4" ent installation to avoid rebar. The moisture-barrier seat bed me edm nt b includes tabs at each end for optional attachment to the Em form board in concrete tie-beam applications.

The two embedded anchors shall be installed vertically into grout or concrete. See note 9 The TSS moisture barrier may be preattached to for edge distance the truss using 6d commons. For mislocated truss anchors which are greater 1 than 18" but less than 1 2" from the face of the truss, a shim must be provided. Shim design by Truss 1 Engineer. When gap is greater than 1 2", install new anchors. In double embedded anchor installations, do not install fasteners where the straps overlap when wrapped over the truss heel. 6" Typical HETA20 M CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart. in.

Packaged in lightweight (about 40 pounds) cartons. FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in ZMAX coating; see Corrosion Information, page 14-15. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Wood shrinkage after strap installation across horizontal wood members may cause strap to buckle outward. Refer to the applicable code for minimum nail penetration and minimum wood edge and end distances. The table shows the maximum allowable loads and the nails required to obtain them. Fewer nails may be used; reduce the allowable load as shown in footnote #3. The cut length of the strap shall be equal to twice the End Length noted in the table plus the clear span dimension. CMST onlyUse every other round hole if the wood tends to split. Use round and triangle holes for comparable MST loads, providing wood does not tend to split. For lap slice and alternate nailing information, refer to technical bulletin T-CMST (see page 230 for details). CS straps are available in 25' lengths, order CS14-R, CS16-R, CS18-R, CS20-R or CS22-R.

SDWF
Structural Wood Screw
The Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDWF structural wood screw is designed to simplify the floor-to-floor, wind-uplift restraint connection while providing superior performance over the life of the structure. The unique design of the SDWF enables it to attach upper and lower walls together from the top, spanning the floor system and providing an easy-to-install connection within the continuous uplift load path of the structure. The innovative TUW take-up washer plays a key role in the longterm performance of the SDWF when installed between the screw and the sole plate of the upper floor. As the structure settles because of shrinkage and construction loading, the threaded portion under the head of the screw ratchets up through the tabs of the TUW, which is fastened with Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SD screws. The interlock between the tabs of the take-up washer and the threads under the head of the SDWF prevent the screw from sliding back under load, providing a simple yet reliable means of shrinkage compensation up to " per story. MATERIAL: SDWF carbon steel, TUW 10 gauge FINISH: SDWFE-Coat; TUWGalvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Refer to flier F-SDWFTUW12 or visit www.strongtie.com.

MATERIAL: See table. FINISH: Galvanized. H7Z and H11ZZMAX coating. Some models available in stainless steel or ZMAX; see Corrosion Information, page 14-15 or visit www.strongtie.com. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. H1 can be installed with flanges facing inward (reverse of H1 installation drawing; number 1). H2.5T, H3, H4, H5 and H6 ties are shipped in equal quantities of right and left versions (right versions shown). Hurricane ties do not replace solid blocking. When installing ties on plated trusses (on the side opposite the truss plate) do not fasten through the truss plate from behind. This can force the truss plate off of the truss and compromise truss performance. H10A optional nailing to connect shear blocking, use 8d nails. Slots allow maximum field bending up to a pitch of 6:12, use H10A sloped loads for field bent installation. CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

1. Loads have been increased for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed: reduce where other loads govern. 1 2" 2. Allowable loads are for one anchor. A minimum rafter thickness of 2 must be used when framing anchors are used on each side of the joist and on the same side of the plate (exeption: connectors installed such that nails on opposite side dont interfere). 3. Allowable DF/SP uplift load for stud to bottom plate installation (see detail 15) is 390 lbs. (H2.5A); 265 lbs. (H2.5ASS); 360 lbs. (H4) and 310 lbs. (H8). For SPF/HF values multiply these values by 0.86. 4. Allowable loads in the F1 direction are not intended to replace diaphragm boundry members or cross grain bending of the truss or rafter members. 5. When cross-grain bending or cross-grain tension cannot be avoided in the members, mechanical reinforcement to resist such forces may be considered. 6. Hurricane Ties are shown on the outside of the wall for clarity and assume 1 2". Installation on the inside of the wall is a minimum overhang of 3 acceptable (see General Instructions for the Installer notes u on page 17).
For uplift Continuous Load Path, connections in the same area (i.e. truss to plate connector and plate to stud connector) must be on the same side of the wall. 7. Southern Pine allowable uplift loads for H10A = 1340 lbs. and for the H14 = 1465 lbs. 8. Refer to Simpson Strong-Tie technical bulletin T-HTIEBEARING for allowable bearing enhancement loads. 9. H10S can have the stud offset a maximum of 1" from rafter (center to center) for a reduced uplift of 890 lbs. (DF/SP) and 765 lbs. (SPF). 10. H10S nails to plates are optional for uplift but required for lateral loads. 11. Some load values for the stainless-steel connectors shown here are lower than those for the carbon-steel versions. Ongoing test programs have shown this to also be the case with other stainless-steel connectors in the product line that are installed with nails.

Considerations for Hurricane Tie Selection

What is the uplift load? What is the parallel-to-plate load? What is the perpendicular-to-plate load? What is the species of wood used for the rafter and the top plates? (Select the load table based on the lowest performing species of wood.) 5. Will the hurricane tie be nailed into both top plates or the upper top plate only? 6. What load or loads will the hurricane tie be taking?
When a connector is loaded simultaneously in more than one direction, the allowable load must be evaluated as shown here. For all connectors use the following equation: Design Uplift/Allowable Uplift + Design Lateral Parallel to Plate / Allowable Lateral Parallel to Plate + Design Lateral Perpendicular to Plate / Allowable Lateral Perpendicular to Plate < 1.0. The three terms in the unity equation are due to the possible directions that exist to generate force on a connector. The number of terms that must be considered for simultaneous loading is at the sole discretion of the Designer and is dependent on their method of calculating wind forces and the utilization of the connector within the structural system. As an alternate, certain roof to wall connectors (embedded truss anchors, pages 166 and 167, seismic and hurricane ties, pages 181-183, and twist straps, page 187 can be evaluated using the following: The design load in each direction shall not exceed the published allowable load in that direction multiplied by 0.75.

SDWC Structural Wood Screws

The new Strong-Drive SDWC structural wood screw provides a stud-to-bottom plate or stud-to-top plate connection as well as fastening trusses and rafters to top plates. The fully threaded shank engages the entire length of the fastener providing that secure connection. The SDWC is tested in accordance with ICC-ES AC233 (screw) and AC13 (wall assembly) for uplift and lateral loads between wall plates and vertical wall framing. MATERIAL: Carbon steel FINISH: SDWC15450E-Coat; SDWC15600Clear Zinc INSTALLATION: See General Notes. See F-SDWC12, F-SDWCST2PL12 or visit www.strongtie.com. Allowable loads in the F1 direction are not intended to replace diaphragm boundry members or cross grain bending of the truss or rafter members. When cross-grain bending or cross-grain tension cannot be avoided in the members, mechanical reinforcement to resist such forces may be considered. CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

DTT2Z Deck Post Connectors

The DTT2Z is a safe, cost-effective way to attach deck-railing posts to the deck framing. Because the post is tied back into the deck joists, rather than to the rim joist alone, the connection is stronger than typical through-bolt installations and complies with IRC and IBC code requirements regarding handrail and guardrail post connections for decks. The DTT2Z also complies with the new IRC requirements for laterally tying the deck to the house. Additionally, the versatile DTT2Z is load rated as a holdown for light-duty shearwalls and braced wall panel applications. The DTT2Z fastens easily to a single 2x joist or stud using Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS screws (included) and accepts a 12" machine bolt or anchor bolt. The new DTT2SS is made from stainless steel for applications in higherexposure environments. Whether its a deck guardrail post application or the lateral-load connection from the deck to the adjacent structure, the new stainless-steel DTT2SS is the best choice for seaside applications or those calling for more corrosive preservative-treated lumber formulations. It fastens to the framing members with stainless-steel Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS wood screws (included). 1 The new DTT2Z-SDS2.5 is our standard DTT2Z packaged with 2 2" Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS wood screws instead of the standard 1 1 2" fasteners. These longer screws allow the DTT2Z to achieve a load capacity in excess of 2100 lbs. when used as a holdown on double studs in a shearwall application. The DTT2Z-SDS2.5 is also suitable in deck applications when double 2x members are used for deck joists or blocking. MATERIAL: DTT2Z/DTT2SS14 gauge FINISH: DTT2ZZMAX coating; DTT2SSStainless steel; see Corrosion Information, page 14-15. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. A standard cut washer (refer to General Notes) must be installed between the nut and the seat. Simpson Strong-Tie SDS screws install best with a low speed high torque drill with a 38" hex head driver. CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.

Simpson Strong-Tie has expanded the Strong-Drive SDW wood screw product line with two new screws designed to provide an easy-to-install, high-strength alternative to through-bolting and traditional lag screws. The new SDWS and SDWH structural wood screws are ideal for the contractor and do-it-yourselfer alike. Material: Heat-treated carbon steel Finish: Double-barrier coating Installation: See General Notes. SDWS screws install best with a low-speed 12" drill and a T-40 6-lobe bit. The matched bit included with the screws is recommended for best results. SDWH screws install best with a low-speed 12" drill and a 516" hex driver bit. The matched bit included with the screws is recommended for best results. Pre-drilling is typically not required. Where pre-drilling is necessary, use a 532" drill bit for SDWS and a 18" drill bit for SDWH. Screw heads that are countersunk flush to the wood surface are acceptable if the screw has not spun out.

LSC Adjustable Stringer Connector

The LSC adjustable stair-stringer connector offers a versatile, concealed connection between the stair stringer and the carrying header or rim joist while replacing costly framing. Field slopeable to all common stair stringer pitches, the LSC connector is suitable for either solid or notched stringers. Features: Replaces additional framing and toe-nailing Suitable for most installations on 2x10 or 2x12 header/rim joist May be installed flush with the top of the carrying member or lower on the face Interchangeable for left or right applications LSCZ features a ZMAX coating for additional corrosion protection. Suitable for interior and some exterior applications. LSCSS is made from stainless steel for higher exposure environment. See www.strongtie.com/info for more information Material: 18 gauge Finish: LSCZZMAX coating; LSCSSStainless steel Installation: Use all specified fasteners, see table. Before fastening, position the stair stringer with the LSC on the carrying member to verify where the bend should be located. Tabs on the LSC must be positioned to the inside of the stairs. The fastener that is installed into the bottom edge of the stringer must go into the second-to-last hole. 5 1 When installed on 1 16" LVL or a 1 4" LSL stringer, additional items that will not affect the structural performance of the LSC, but should be considered, include the following: - LSC stringer flange will protrude 14" from face of stringer. As such, it is recommended the LSC be installed with the tabs positioned to the outside of the stringer. 1 1 - 1 2" fasteners installed into 1 4" LSL stringer will protrude from the opposite side.

Bridging
Space bridging to avoid contact noises.
NCANailless installation eliminates callbacks for nail squeaks. Designed for secure grip before the drive-home blow, and deeper prong penetration. Precision-formed into a rigid V section. TBTension-type bridging with maximum nailing flexibility. Use just two of the seven nail holes at each end. LTBStaggered nail pattern accommodates 2x8 and 2x10 joists. Use just two of the six nail holes at each end. LTB40 has rigid prongs that install easily into the joist, and embossments that allow crisp bends. MATERIAL: LTB22 gauge; NCA and TB20 gauge (except NCA2x12-1618 gauge). FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Support floor joists with a depth-to-thickness ratio of six or more with bridging at intervals not exceeding 8'. If span is greater than 8', install on 2x8 or larger joists. If span is greater than 16', use more than one pair. Tension bridging works only in tension, so must be used in cross pairs. Install bridging tightly; loose installation may allow floor movement. NCA may be installed before or after sheathing, from the top or bottom. Simply locate the bend line approximately 1" from the joist edge. NCA has nail holes in one end for use if a prong is bent during installation. Fully seat nails if they are used; otherwise, they may lead to squeaks. 1 TB requires two 10dx1 2 fasteners per end. LTB requires two 6d commons per end.

ICFVL Ledger Connector System

The ICFVL Ledger Connector System is engineered to solve the challenges of mounting wood or steel ledgers to insulated concrete form (ICF) walls. The ICFVL is designed to provide both vertical and lateral, in-plane performance. There are many benefits over traditional anchor bolting, including better on center spacing in most cases, faster installation and no protrusions. The embedded legs of the ICFVL are embossed for additional stiffness and the hole allows for concrete to flow through and around the connector. The exposed flange on the face of the ICF provides a structural surface for mounting either a wood or steel ledger. MATERIAL: ICFVL14 gauge; ICFVL-CW and ICFVL-W16 gauge FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: ICFVL in ICF WARNING: For use with a minimum 4" thick core. Industry studies show Snap a chalk line for the bottom of the ledger. that hardened Mark required on center spacing. fasteners can experience Use ICFVL to mark kerfs locations. performance problems in wet environments.

Wood Ledger Attachment ICFVL-W or -CW Slip appropriate ledger connector underneath the ledger. Install the eight ICF-D3.62 screws partially into the ledger. Position the ledger level to the chalk line and drive the screws through the wood and into the ICFVL. Steel Ledger Attachment Position the ledger level to the chalk line and against the ICFVL. Attach with four 14 -14x 3 4", #3 drill point screws (not provided). All screws should be located at least " from the edge of the ICFVL. Space screws evenly.

The PBV is a hidden standoff post base. Two different sizes fit a variety of posts shapes. MATERIAL: 14 gauge galvanized steel FINISH: Textured powder-coated flat black paint or galvanized ORDER: For powder-coated flat black, order PBV6PC or PBV10PC. For galvanized coating, order PBV6 or PBV10. For kit containing Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive screws (SDS), RFB bolt, SET 1.7 adhesive, and powder-coated PBV, order PBV6KT or PBV10KT. The CPS is a Composite Plastic Standoff designed for increased concrete surface area. MATERIAL: Engineered composite plastic INSTALLATION: PBV and CPS Post: Drill a 34" diameter hole, 10" into the center of the post. Clean out dust. Fill hole halfway with Simpson Strong-Tie SET Epoxy-Tie adhesive. Insert all-thread rod and allow epoxy to set and cure. Secure standoff to post using four 10d nails except PBV which uses four Simpson Strong-Tie SDS screws. Concrete: Drill a 34" diameter hole per anchor design (see footnote 2 below). Clean out dust. Fill hole halfway with Simpson Strong-Tie SET Epoxy-Tie adhesive. Insert post subassembly into hole and allow epoxy to set and cure. Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports).

Hanger Options
HANGER OPTIONS GENERAL NOTES

Hanger Modification Options and Applications
The Hanger Options Matrix for Face Mount and Top Flange Hangers on pages 216-217 shows hanger modifications and special applications (uplift, nailers and weldability) that are available for each model series. Modifications may not be available for all models in the series, and some combinations of hanger options are not available. Many hanger modifications result in load reductions. For all modifications, refer to the listed hanger option pages for additional information regarding the availability of each modification, associated load reductions, and installation requirements. For more information regarding the applications, refer to the individual product pages throughout the catalog.
Hanger OPTIONS GENERAL NOTES

This information applies only to the hangers manufactured by Simpson Strong-Tie and installed per our instructions. Some combinations of these options on a single hanger have not been evaluated. In some cases, combinations of these options cannot be manufactured. A qualified Designer must always evaluate each connection, including header and joist limitations, before specifying the product. Testing is performed using a standardized hanger test method. The joist in the test setup may include the minimum amount of structural stability where appropriate. For example, the sloped down hanger tests are assembled with a joist cut on the lower end to lie flush with a wood member attached with three 8d common toenails. Header and other attached structural members are assumed fixed in actual installations. Horizontal loads induced by sloped joists must be resisted by other members in the structural system. MATERIAL: Gauge may vary from that specified depending on the manufacturing process used. U, HU, HUTF, W and B hangers normally have single-piece stirrups; occasionally, the seat may be welded. Hanger configurations, height and fastener schedules may vary from the tables depending on the joist size, skew and slope. FINISH: See specific hanger tables. Welded specials: Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint. Specials that are not galvanized before fabrication can be hot-dip galvanized after fabrication; specify HDG. CODES: Modified hangers, due to their numerous variations, are not on code reports. LOADS: For multiple modifications on the same connector, use the single multiplier factor that yields the lowest design loads. TO ORDER: Use the abbreviations below to order specials. The example shows a W410 hanger and illustrates most available options; most special hangers have only a few of these features. For assistance, contact Simpson Strong-Tie. INSTALLATION: Fastener quantities may be increased beyond the amount specified in the standard hanger table. Fill all holes with the table-specified fastener types. Some skewed hangers require bevel cut joists; refer to the specific notes provided for each product.

Height for Sloped Hangers

Height 1 (H1) is the joist height before the slope cut has been made. Net Height (Net H) is the joist height after the slope cut has been made. Provide H1 when ordering a connector. Connectors are made assuming dry lumber is being used in continuously dry conditions.

See also LSU/LSSU connectors. These options only apply to wood-to-wood connections. U/HU may be skewed to a maximum of 45 and 1 sloped to a maximum of 45. Hangers 5 2" or less 1 in width may be skewed to 67 2. Hangers skewed 1 51- 67 2 require a square cut. For all options, uplift loads are 0.75 of table loads. 9 16" and less in width, the For skewed hangers 3 allowable download is 100% of the table load. For 9 skewed hangers over 3 16" in width the allowable download is 80% of the table load. For slope only, the allowable download is 100% of the table load. For combined slopes and skews, the maximum allowable download is 0.80 of the table load. Skewed hangers may have joist nails only on one side. STRAIGHT OR CONCEALED FLANGE HU is available with the A flanges straight at 100% 1 of the table loads if W 3 2". If W < 3", use N10 nails at 0.64 of the table load. If W 3", use 10d nails at 0.84 of the table load. HU is available with A flanges concealed, provided 5 the W dimension is 2 16" or greater, at 100% of the table load. Specify HUC. HU is available with one flange concealed when the W 5 dimension is less than 2 16" at 100% of the table load. For skewed only HUC hangers, the flange on the acute side can be concealed at 100% of the table load. See table for skew limitations. For sloped only hangers, flanges can be concealed at 100% of the table load. For sloped and skewed hangers, the flange on the acute side can be concealed at 0.80 of the table load. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie for skew limitations. When nailing into the carrying members end grain, the allowable load is 0.67 of the table load.

See Hanger Options General Notes. MATERIAL: Gauge may vary from that specified depending on the manufacturing process used. Hanger configurations, height and fastener schedules may vary from the tables depending on the joist size, skew and slope. CODES: Modified hangers, due to their numerous variations, are not in code reports. LOADS: For multiple modifications on the same connector, use the single multiplier factor that yields the lowest design loads. INSTALLATION: Fastener quantities will typically increase beyond the amount specified in the standard hanger tables. Web stiffeners are required for I-joists. Fill all holes with the table-specified fastener types. Bevel cut the carried member for skewed applications.

For B and HB hangers with TF 3 8" in Down that are less than 5 width, minimum hanger height 1 is 11 4 inches. 5. These hangers may deflect an additional 132" at design load. 6. For HB hangers on nailers, 100% of allowable nailer uplift value may be used. (See nailer table) 7. For hangers with slope and skew less than 14" use 1150 lbs. for B hangers and 1430 lbs. for HB hangers. 8. In the table the term x refers to the angle of the modification. 9.

HANGER OPTIONS
W/WNP/WNPU/WP/WPU/HW/HWU
See Hanger Options General Notes. Models that have an I in the model number (e.g., HWI) have the same properties and modifications as the standard models without the I in the name (e.g., HW). INSTALLATION: Some models are available in Type A (Bevel Cut) and Type B (Square Cut) styles; all models are available in Type B style. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie when ordering. Bevel-cut the joist for skewed Type A hangers (see illustration). Butt-cut the joist for Type B hangers. Hangers with a skew greater than 15 may have all the joist nails on the outside angle. 1 Skewed HWs have face nails and require a minimum header depth of 3 2". HANGER HEIGHT Minimum height may increase significantly with modification. Check availability when ordering. For hanger heights exceeding the joist height by more than 12", the allowable load is 0.50 of the table load. SLOPED AND/OR SKEWED SEAT Non-skewed hangers can carry the design load when the seat slope is within 14 :12 of the joist slope. Designer must check that wood bearing is not limiting. W/WNP/WP/HW series may be skewed to a maximum of 84 and/or sloped to a maximum of 45. For slope only, skew only, or slope and skew combinations, the allowable load is 100% of the table load. Sloped seat hangers are assumed backed. For non-backed installations, specify non-backed, which adds more joist fasteners low on the joist flange. UPLIFT LOADS (WPU, WNPU, HWU only) Uplift loads not available on W, WNP, WP, HW hangers. See page 218 for WMU. Hangers can be sloped to 45 and/or skewed 45 at 100% of the uplift load. 9 Skew option is only on hangers with W 3 16" or less. Specify the slope up or down in degrees from the horizontal plane and/or the skew right or left in degrees from the perpendicular vertical plane. Specify whether low side, high side or center of joist will be flush with the top of the header (see illustration). Uplift loads are not available for open/closed TF, TF sloped, and offset options. SLOPED TOP FLANGE A top flange may be ordered sloped down left or down right to 35 with or without a sloped and/or skewed seat (see illustration). Reduce allowable table loads using straight-line interpolation Example: For a top flange sloped down 30, reduce load to [(90-30)/90] x table load. OFFSET TOP FLANGE The top flange may be offset left or right for placement at the end of a header (see illustration). The allowable load is 0.50 of the table load. For skewed and offset top flange hangers, the maximum allowable load is 0.50 of the table load or 2000 lbs., whichever is lower. For type B hangers skewed and top flange offset in the opposite direction, 1 hangers 3 2" and less wide have allowable load of 25% of the table load or 1 1335 lbs. whichever is lower, and for hangers wider than 3 2", the allowable load is 30% of the table load or 1620 lbs. whichever is lower. OPEN/CLOSED TOP FLANGE The top flange may be opened more or closed less than the standard 90 (see illustration) to a maximum of 30, except the HW which cannot 1 be closed. W and WI hangers must use 10dx1 2" nails for closed application. Reduce allowable loads using straight-line interpolation (see sloped top flange). SADDLE HANGER To order, add D to model and specify S dimension (see illustration). Saddle hangers achieve catalog load listed. Saddle hangers on stud walls do not achieve catalog loads. Recommended S dimension is 116" oversized for carrying members 1 1 2 2" wide and less or 18" oversized for greater than 2 2" wide. RIDGE HANGER (not available for uplift models) Top flange may be sloped to a maximum of 35 to accommodate a ridge (see illustration). Specify angle of the slope.

CONTINUOUS LOAD TRANSFER PATH

This drawing shows the connection points for a continuous load transfer path from the rafters to the foundation of a two-story house. Building with a continuous load path is an essential part of creating a structure better able to withstand the forces of mother nature. This drawing is for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered an engineered system. Refer to the page numbers for the full range of Simpson Strong-Tie connectors. Consult a qualified Designer to ensure that correct connector quantities and installation methods are used to achieve the full design load values.

1. The allowable (ASD) capacities are based on the 2012 National Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS) including the March 2012 Addendum, for lumber with a moisture content of 19% or less. 1 8" (due to the most common pre-cut stud lengths) 2. Compression parallel to grain loads are based on an effective post height, le, equal to the nominal height plus 1 1 1 2" for 4-inch wall and d = 5 2" for 6-inch wall. minus 412" (thickness of 3 - 2x plates). L/d ratio is based on d = 3 3. Shaded values are limited by the Perpendicular to Grain bearing allowable load, Pc , when posts bear on wood sill plates. Where posts and sill plates are different species, Designer shall limit allowable load to the lower of the post capacity or the perpendicular to grain capacity for each species used. 4. Perpendicular to grain allowable loads do not include the NDS Bearing Area Factor, Cb. For posts whose bearing area is not closer than 3" from the end of a sill plate, the Pc values may be multiplied by Cb. lb (in.) 1.5 2.5 3 3.5 4.5 5.5 Cb 1.25 1.15 1.13 1.11 1.08 1.07 6 1 lb = Bearing Length (post thickness) Cb = Bearing Area Factor per NDS 3.10.4
1 5. Allowable tension loads are based on net section assuming hole size equal to bolt diameter plus 116" with the hole drilled on the 3 2" face of post for a 4-inch wall and 1 2" face of post for a 6-inch wall. Tension loads have been increased for wind or seismic loading with no further increase allowed. Reduce where other loads govern. on the 5 6. Values do not consider combined axial and out-of-plane bending.
