The path to building safer structures.
Our customers play an important role in designing and building structures that are stronger and safer. Now, more than ever, theres a great need to create homes and buildings that are better able to resist high winds, hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters. Using Simpson products in a continuous load path system better equips structures to withstand the forces of Mother Nature. As weve seen, this path can make the difference in whether a home or building is still intact after a major storm or seismic event. Simpson Strong-Tie is proud to manufacture products that contribute to the strength and safety of structures, and equally proud to support our customers whose primary job is to make sure those structures are still standing after a natural disaster. We salute the work you do each day and pledge to continue providing the products and services youve come to expect. Together, were creating the path to building safer structures.

NEW PRODUCTS FOR 2007

SDS
Wood Screws The next generation of SDS Wood Screw is here, blending performance, ease of installation and versatility. The new patented 4CUT tip features a square core and serrated threads to bore through wood more efficiently, greatly reducing installation torque. In addition to easier driving, the new tip virtually eliminates wood splitting during installation. And performance doesnt stop at installation; a new double-barrier coating provides a level of corrosion resistance superior to hot-dip galvanization. So now one screw can handle many interior, exterior and pressure-treated wood applications. Page 20
BPS
Bearing Plate
The BPS is a 3"x3" bearing plate that offers increased flexibility while meeting the latest code requirement. The slotted hole provides adjustability to account for bolts that are not in the middle of the sill plate. Page 23
MASP
Mudsill Anchor
The MAS series provides a versatile means to connect the mudsill to the foundation. The MASP is configured for installation on panelized forms. Page 24-25
SSWBP
Bearing Plate
The Steel Strong-Wall has now been tested on raised wood floor systems and second story applications using the new SSWBP Bearing Plate. The SSWBP is designed to disperse compression forces and help prevent crushing when the wall is under load. Each kit includes two C\," thick bearing plates that match up with the Steel Strong-Wall model specified and eight SDS Z\v"x3" screws required for installation. Page 60
LUCZ
Concealed Flange Joist Hanger
Introducing Simpsons first concealed flange joist hanger for 2x lumber. The LUCZs concealed flange design provides cleaner lines for visible applications such as second story decks and patio covers. Its also narrower, allowing joists to be installed flush with the end of a ledger or header where typical face-mount hangers will not perform. Page 72
NEW PRODUCTS FOR 2007
ITS
Engineered Wood Products Hanger
The ITS installs faster than any other EWP top flange hanger. Once the hanger is installed on the header, just position the joist and snap it down into place. The new Strong-Grip seat securely holds the joist without any joist nails. Load values are equal to or better than the ITT hanger for Douglas Fir and structural composite lumber headers. Page 102-103
LGUM/HGUM
Girder Hanger
The LGUM and HGUM are high capacity face mount girder hangers for concrete and masonry that blend performance with ease of installation. The absence of a top flange allows the hanger to be installed in various locations. Anchorage into the wall is simple using Titen HD screw anchors, and SDS screws make fastening the girder quick and easy. Page 153
H10S
Hurricane Tie
The H10S provides a high capacity connection from rafter-to-top plate-to-stud. Ideal for applications where the stud falls underneath the rafter, the H10S eliminates the need for two connectors to tie rafters to wall studs. A flexible nailing pattern allows installation where the stud is offset from the rafter up to 1". Suitable for wood-to-wood and wood to CMU/concrete applications. Page 157 and 167-169
VGT
Variable Girder Tiedown
The Variable Girder Tiedown (VGT) is a higher capacity alternative to the HGT and MGT for girder trusses. It attaches to the side of the truss with SDS screws, allowing it to be used in new or retrofit applications. The VGT is suitable for trusses with 2x4 or 2x6 top chords and features a predeflected crescent washer that allows it to accommodate top chord pitches between 3:12 and 8:12. Page 159 and 172
TSP
Stud Plate Tie
The Twist Stud Plate (TSP) offers higher loads and fastens to the side of the stud to eliminate interference with drywall installation. Suitable for both top plate and sill plate applications. Page 173

Deflection: The distance a point moves when a load is applied. Allowable Design Loads: The maximum load that a connection is designed to provide. There may be multiple design loads acting in different directions (up, down, lateral, perpendicular, etc.) imposed on a connection. Uplift Lateral Down Code Ref: See page 12 for the Code Listing Key Chart, to determine which code reports include this product. Load Duration: Assumed duration factor used to determine the allowable load. Note: often multiple load durations are shown in the same column (i.e. 133/160) which means the tests limited the design and the loads are applicable for durations listed.
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. Some tests include only portions of a product such as purlin anchor tests only 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 " deflection, test ultimate/3 or calculation value. For detailed information regarding how Simpson tests specific products, contact Simpson.

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. In the last several years, pressure treated wood formulations have changed significantly. Many of the new formulations are more corrosive to steel connectors and fasteners than the traditionally used formulation of CCA-C. Simpson testing has shown that ACQ-C, ACQ-D (Carbonate), CBA-A and CA-B treated woods are approximately 2 times more corrosive than CCA-C, 10 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 (see page 199 for details). Due to the many different pressure treatment 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. 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 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 on page 11.) Because increased corrosion from some newer pressure-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.
CORROSION INFORMATION
CORROSION INFORMATION
General Simpson Recommendations
Outdoor environments are generally more corrosive to steel. If you choose to use ZMAX or HDG 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, 0.41 pcf for CBA-A, or 0.21 pcf for CA-B (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 ZMAX/HDG galvanized connectors, use fasteners galvanized per ASTM A153. Testing indicates wood installed dry 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 (see page 199 for details) . Due to the many variables involved, Simpson cannot provide estimates on service life of connectors, anchors or fasteners. We suggest that all users and specifiers 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 Simpsons recommendations are followed, Simpson stands behind its product performance and our standard warranty (page 15) applies.
Guidelines for Selecting the Proper Connector

1 Evaluate the Application. 2 Evaluate the Environment.
Consider the type of structure and how it will be used. 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 connector or fastener will be used is an important factor in selecting the most appropriate material and finish for use on the connectors and fasteners. To help in your decision making, consider the following general exposure information: Interior Dry Use: Includes wall and ceiling cavities, and raised floor applications of enclosed buildings that have been designed to ensure that condensation and other sources of moisture do not develop. Exterior Dry: Includes outdoor installations in low rainfall environments and no regular exposure to moisture. Exterior Wet: Includes outdoor installations in higher moisture and rainfall environments. Higher Exposure Use: Includes exposure to ocean salt air, fire retardants, large bodies of water, fumes, fertilizers, soil, some preservative treated woods, industrial zones, acid rain, and other corrosive elements.

Compare the treated wood suppliers recommendation
If these recommendations are different, Simpson recommends that the most conservative recommendation be followed.
Low = Use Simpson standard painted and G90 galvanized connectors as a minimum. Med = Use ZMAX/HDG galvanized connectors as a minimum. Use fasteners galvanized per ASTM A153 or SDS screws with double-barrier coating. High = Use Type 303, 304, 305 or 316 Stainless Steel connectors and fasteners.

If a pressure treated wood product is not identified on the chart, Simpson has not evaluated test results regarding such product and therefore cannot make any recommendation other than the use of Stainless Steel with that product. Manufacturers may independently provide test results or other product use information; Simpson expresses no opinion regarding any such information.
1. Woods with actual retention levels greater than 0.40 pcf for ACQ, 0.41 pcf for CBA-A, or 0.21 pcf for CA-B (Ground Contact level). 2. Borate treated woods are not appropriate for outdoor use. 3. Test results indicate that ZMAX /HDG and the SDS double-barrier coating will perform adequately, subject to regular maintenance and periodic inspection. However, the nationally-approved test method used, AWPA E12-94, is an accelerated test, so data over an extended period of time is not available. If uncertain, use Stainless Steel. 4. Some treated wood may have excess surface chemicals making it potentially more corrosive. If you suspect this or are uncertain, use Stainless Steel. 5. 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 coating recommendation of Low.

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 HTT tension ties may be raised off the sill when specified by the designer. They may also be raised as dictated by field conditions to accommodate a mislocated anchor bolt provided that: 1) the holdown is not raised more than 18" from the top of the concrete, 2) the anchor bolt is offset no more than 1Z\x" from the centerline of the holdown, and 3) the holdown is raised at least 3" for each Z\v" that the bolt is offset from the centerline of the holdown (anchor bolt slope shall be no greater than 1:12). Some products have increased deflection or load reductions when raised off of the sill (see table and footnotes on pages 35 to 40 for applicability) and if so the Designer should be contacted for approval. r. Strong-Drive Screws are permitted to be installed through metal truss plates as approved by the Truss Designer, provided the requirements of ANSI/TPI 10-2002 Section 8.10 are met (pre-drilling required). 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.
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. The allowable load is limited to the lowest of Z\," deflection, lowest test ultimate/3 or calculation value. e. Allowable simultaneous loads in more than one direction on a single connector must be evaluated as follows: 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. f. Loads are based on the 2001 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 (133 and 160) 133% and 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 strongly recommends the following addition to construction drawings and specifications: Simpson Strong-Tie connectors are specifi cally 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 Z\c to Z\x 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 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 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. Simpson recommends that 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, Simpsons products do not require special inspection.

STEEL STRESS INCREASE

Recent changes in building codes and standards have affected the way allowable loads on some connectors are determined when using Allowable Stress Design. Building codes and material standards have traditionally allowed designers and manufacturers to take a one-third stress increase on the calculated design capacities of some building materials and components when designing for forces generated from wind and seismic events. Specifically, the codes allowed Simpson Strong-Tie to take a one-third stress increase on the calculated tensile capacity of steel connectors. Newer codes and standards only allow a steel stress increase when using an alternate set of load combinations. For example, the International Building Code and Uniform Building Code do not allow a stress increase when designing with the Basic load combinations of Allowable Stress Design. However, these codes do allow the use of a stress increase when using the Alternate (or Alternative) basic load combinations, as long as the referenced material standard/section permits it. The ASCE7 Standards do not have Alternate basic load combinations, so stress increases are not permitted. Simpson Strong-Tie determines allowable loads in accordance with building codes and steel design standards (AISI and AISC). In the past, these steel standards have permitted the use of a one-third stress increase when designing for wind and seismic forces. However, the latest editions of these standards have discontinued that practice. Because of these changes, Simpson Strong-Tie re-evaluated its entire product line to determine which loads were governed by calculated steel strength and included an allowable stress increase on the steel. The majority of Simpson Strong-Ties products were not affected, since their allowable load is governed by a tested value, not a calculated value. Those products which were affected are shown with their revised capacities with no steel stress increase. Additionally, it must be clarified that the load duration factors for wood permitted by the National Design Specification for Wood Construction are separate and distinct from the one-third stress increase. Load duration factors for wood are permitted to be used in design calculations for all load combinations in the codes and standards covered by this catalog. For that reason there will be loads listed that include a load duration increase for wood or fasteners in wood, such as 1.33 or 1.6 for wind or seismic loading, with no further stress increase permitted. The table below summarizes when stress increases are permitted.

It installs with no predrilling and has been extensively tested in various applications. For 2007 the SDS is new and improved with a patented new easy driving tip and a corrosion resistant coating. Features: The patented 4CUT tip has a square core and serrated threads to reduce installation torque and make driving easier with no predrilling and minimal wood splitting. A new double-barrier coating finish provides corrosion resistance superior to hot-dip galvanization. Now one screw can handle interior, exterior and certain pressure-treated wood applications (see Corrosion Information on page 10-11 for more information) . C\," hex washer head is stamped with the No-Equal sign and fastener length for easy indentification after installation. MATERIAL: Heat-treated carbon steel FINISH: Double-barrier coating CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart. The SDS Strong-Driver has a deep socket and magnetic tip to help provide a positive installation for the SDS Screws. Fits a standard drill. WARNING: Industry studies show that hardened fasteners can experience performance problems in wet or corrosive environments. Accordingly, use this product in dry, interior, and noncorrosive environments only. (Titen and SD8 only)

All grout and concrete must have a minimum f'c 2000 psi. MASBFirst fill CMU cell with concrete grout. Place MASB into the grouted cell, and adjust into position. Attach mudsill to anchor after the concrete cures. MABWhen used in monolithic slab or concrete stemwall construction, prior to installation, spread the MAB legs to accommodate mudsill. Immediately after pouring and screeding, insert into the concrete or grout. Attach the mudsill to the anchor with 10dx1" nails after the concrete cures. When installed in grouted concrete block or solid pour for a center hole installation, drill a " hole through the mudsill and install straps through the hole. Wrap MAB straps around the mudsill and install 10dx1" nails. MASB and MAB tested in standard 8" CMU. Testing has shown that the MAS anchor can be used in high seismic zones in lieu of the code required bolt and washer. Refer to technical bulletin T-MASSW for additional information (see page 199 for details) . For MAS installations where concrete spalling has occurred, the MAS achieves full published capacity when the maximum height of spall is limited to 1" and the maximum depth is no deeper than ". Any exposed portion of the MAS must be protected against possible corrosion. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

Foundation Anchors
Concrete Connectors
FA and HFA Foundation Anchors eliminate vertical drilling by nailing into the top of the mudsill. They facilitate installation when vertical space is limited, and resist forces between the foundation and mudsill. The FAP Plate connects the mudsill to the foundation, and is designed to provide lateral load resistance. The FJA Foundation Joist Anchor nails or bolts directly into floor joists, providing a direct connection between the foundation and joist to resist uplift and lateral forces. FSA Foundation Stud Anchor nails or bolts to floor joists, or nails to the stud. Plywood sheathing may require notching with stud-to-foundation installation. MATERIAL: FAP7 gauge; all others12 gauge FINISH: Galvanized. May be ordered HDG, check with our factory. See Corrosion Information, page 10-11. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes. Refer to technical bulletin T-ANCHORSPEC for postinstalled anchorage solutions (see page 199 for details) .

Titen hd The Titen HD is a patented, high-strength screw anchor for concrete and masonry. The self-undercutting, non-expansion characteristics of the Titen HD makes it the ideal anchor for structural applications, even at minimum edge distances and under reduced spacing conditions. The proprietary cutting teeth enable the Titen HD to be installed in one eighth of the time when compared to traditional expansion anchors, and at significantly reduced installation torques. This heat-treated anchor undercuts the concrete to create a strong mechanical interlock over the entire length of the anchor. The anchor can be installed with a standard ANSI tolerance drill bit and is removeable. WARNING: Recommended for permanent dry, interior, non-corrosive environments or temporary outdoor applications. Contact Simpson for more information. CODES: ICC ESR-1056; City of L.A. RR 25560; FL 2304.2

The SSTB is designed for maximum performance as an anchor bolt for holdowns and Strong-Wall shearwalls. Extensive SSTB testing has been done to determine the design load capacity at a common application, the garage stem wall. Design loads are based on a series of five tests, with a three-times reduction factor. SSTB14 is a " diameter anchor bolt designed and tested specifically for shallow foundation installations. SPECIAL FEATURES: Rolled threads for higher tensile capacity. Offset angle reduces side-bursting, provides more concrete cover. Stamped embedment line aids installation. Configuration results in minimum rebar interference. MATERIAL: ASTM A36 FINISH: None. May be ordered HDG; check factory INSTALLATION: SSTB is used for monolithic and two-pour installations. Nuts and washers 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 (Simpson NUT B\, -OST, NUT M\, -OST, CNW B\, - B\, OST, CNW M\, - M\, OST). REINFORCED CONCRETE FOUNDATION Install SSTB before the concrete pour using AnchorMates (see page 22). Install the SSTB per plan view detail shown on page 34. Install one #4 rebar 3" to 5" (may be foundation rebar not post-tension cable) from the top of the foundation. The SSTB does not need to be tied to the rebar. Minimum concrete compression strength is 2500 psi. Unless noted otherwise, no special inspection is required for foundation concrete when the structural design is based on concrete no greater than 2500 psi (UBC Section 1701.5.1 and IBC Section 1704.4). Unless otherwise noted, 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. REINFORCED CONCRETE BLOCK Before concrete pour, install diagonally at approx. 45 in the cell per plan view detail shown on page 34. Horizontal #4 rebar (minimum 56" long centered about the anchor bolt)approximately one rebar 12" from the top and two rebars approximately 28" from the top. Vertical #4 rebar (minimum 24" long) install with maximum 24" o.c. spacing. Grout all cells with minimum 2000 psi concrete. Vibrate the grout per the 1997 Uniform Building Code, Section 2104.6.2, International Building Code, Section 2104.1. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

HDU
Holdown
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.
The HDU series of holdowns combine the advantages of low deflection and high capacity from the pre-deflected geometry with the ease of installation of Simpsons patented SDS screws. HDU SPECIAL FEATURES: Pre-deflected body virtually eliminates deflection due to material stretch. Uses SDS screws which install easily, reduces fastener slip, and provides a greater net section area of the post compared to bolts. SDS "x2" screws are supplied with the holdowns. (Lag screws will not achieve the same load.) This ensures the proper fasteners are used and is convenient for the installer. No stud bolts to countersink at openings. MATERIAL: See table. FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Place the HDU over the anchor bolt. No additional washer required. To tie double 2x members together, the Designer must determine the fasteners required to bind the members to act as one unit without splitting the wood. See page 20 for more information. See SSTB Anchor Bolts on page 33-34 for anchorage options. Refer to technical bulletin T-ANCHORSPEC for post-installed anchorage solutions (see page 199 for details) .

1. Allowable loads have been increased for earthquake or wind load durations with no further increase allowed; reduce where other load durations govern. 2. Loads are based on static tests on wood posts, limited by the lowest of 0.125" deflection, lowest test ultimate divided by 3 or the calculated values of the SDS "x2" screws. 3. The Designer must specify anchor bolt type, length and embedment. 4. When using structural composite lumber columns screws must be applied to the wide face of the column. 5. Post design shall be by Designer. 6. SDS screws install best with a low speed " right angle drill with a " hex head driver. 7. Deflection values are valid for holdowns flush and raised off of sill plate. Refer to note q, page 14 for installation instructions of raised holdowns.
8. Deflection at Highest Allowable Design Load: The deflection of a holdown measured between the anchor bolt and the strap portion of the holdown when loaded to the highest allowable load listed in the catalog table. This movement is strictly due to the holdown deformation under a static load test conducted on a wood jig. 9. Tabulated loads may be doubled when the HDU is installed on both sides of the wood member provided either the post is large enough or the holdowns are offset to eliminate screw interferences.
ATS Anchor Tiedown Systems

The Anchor Tiedown System (ATS) is a method for anchoring shearwalls in mid-rise wood frame construction to resist large uplift forces in stacked shearwall systems caused by earthquakes and high winds. The revolutionary ATS method restrains overturning forces through bearing plates and Simpson Strong-Rod providing a high capacity restraint system far exceeding the capacity of traditional holdowns. The patented ATS also offers Take-up Devices to compensate for wood shrinkage and settling common in mid-rise construction. For design information request C-ATS or visit www.strongtie.com.

PHD
Predeflected Holdown
/ HDQ8
Holdown
PHD holdowns are predeflected during the manufacturing process, virtually eliminating deflection under load due to material stretch. The unique seat design of the HDQ8 greatly minimizes deflection under load. Each holdown uses SDS screws, which install easily, reduce fastener slip, and provides a greater net section area of the post compared to bolts. SPECIAL FEATURES: Wood screws reduce slip due to overdrilled bolt holes. Smaller centerline reduces eccentricity in the stud. No stud bolts to countersink. Fits easily in a 2x4 stud wall. MATERIAL: See table. FINISH: Galvanized. PHD2 and PHD5 available in hot-dip galvanized (HDG SDS screws included). INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Place the PHD or HDQ8 over the anchor bolt. HDQ8: " of adjustability perpendicular to the wall. HDQ8: Use in vertical and horizontal applications. Install Simpsons SDS "x3" wood screws, which are provided with the holdown. (Lag screws will not achieve the same load.) For an improved connection, use a steel nylon locking nut or a thread adhesive on the anchor bolt. (No washer required.) See SSTB Anchor Bolts, page 33-34, for anchorage options. The Designer may specify any alternate anchorage calculated to resist the tension load for a specific job. Anchorage length should take the bearing plate/washer height into account, to ensure adequate length of threads to engage the nut. For 2-2x and 3x sill plates use SSTBL models. To tie double 2x members together, the Designer must determine the fasteners required to bind members to act as one unit without splitting the wood. See page 20 for SDS values.

1. Allowable loads have been increased for earthquake or wind load durations with no further increase allowed; reduce where other load durations govern. 2. HD15 requires a minimum 4x8 (in a 3" wide shearwall) or a 6x6 nominal post to ensure the tension load carrying capacity of the critical net section meets the holdown capacity. 3. Use a minimum 4x6 nominal post for the HD14A. Minimum post size is required to ensure the tension load carrying capacity of the critical net section meets the holdown capacity. 4. HB is the required minimum distance from the end of the stud to the center of the first stud bolt hole. End distance may be increased as necessary for installation. 5. The designer must specify anchor bolt type, length and embedment. See SSTB Anchor Bolts (page 33-34) and Additional Anchor Designs (page 34). 6. Refer to technical bulletin T-ANCHORSPEC for retrofit anchor solutions (see page 199 for details) . 7. Lag bolts will not develop the listed loads. 8. See page 13-15 for testing and other important information.
9. Deflection at Highest Allowable Design Load: The deflection of a holdown measured between the anchor bolt and the strap portion of the holdown when loaded to the highest allowable load listed in the catalog table. This movement is strictly due to the holdown deformation under a static load test conducted on a steel jig. All other sources of deflection shall be in addition. 10. When using structural composite lumber columns, bolts must be applied to the wide face of the column. 11. The Designer shall reduce the allowable loads shown per NDS requirements when bolt threads are in the shear plane. 12. HDA and HD allowable loads are based on the lower of the 2001 NDS fastener values or the ultimate load on a steel test jig divided by 2.5. 13. Post design shall be by Designer. 14. Holdowns may be raised off sill plate. Refer to table for increased deflection values (if applicable). Refer to note q, page 14 for installation instructions of raised holdowns.
SOURCES OFDEFLECTION ATSHEARWALL HOLDOWN CONNECTIONS

1. Bolt slip can occur at holdown stud bolts. 2. Increased bolt slip can occur if oversized holes are drilled through the stud for holdown stud bolts (oversized holes are when the hole diameter is greater than the bolt diameter plus " per 2001 NDS 11.1.2). 3. When a holdown is installed on only one side of the stud, an eccentricity exists during loading which can cause more movement in the shearwall system. 4. Unrestrained anchor bolt nuts can spin loose during cyclic loading; using steel nylon locking nuts or thread adhesive may prevent nut spin. 5. Movement can occur when nuts are not tightened enough. Retightening bolts before covering wall may prevent this. 6. Deflection can occur in the holdown under load caused by stresses due to earthquake or high wind. 7. Lateral displacement at the top of the wall rotates the stud around its base causing the holdown base plate to displace vertically. 8. Wood shrinkage can occur due to drying of the sill plate, rim joist, and/or top plate; nuts may require retightening. 9. Uplift forces on the bolts can cause localized wood crushing at bolt bearing locations. Using larger bearing plates may prevent this. 10. Wood at the end of the studs (sill plates, rim joists, etc.) may crush under normal dead and live loading; additional compressive forces due to overturning during earthquake and high wind loads add to the deflection. 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 BEARING PLATES STUD 10 SILL PLATE

LTT/MTT/HTT Tension Ties

Tension ties offer a solution for resisting tension loads that can be nailed to the stud. The HTT22 is a single-piece formed tension tieno rivets, and a 4-ply formed seat which wont unfold during loading. No washers required. The LTT19 Light Tension Tie is designed for 2x joists or purlins and the LTT20B is for nail- or bolt-on applications. The 3" nail spacing makes the LTT20B suitable for wood I-joists if 10dx1" nails are substituted for the specified 16ds with a reduced load. The LTTI31 is designed for wood chord open web truss attachments to concrete or masonry walls and may also be installed vertically on a minimum 2x6 stud. MATERIAL: See table FINISH: Galvanized. May be ordered HDG; check factory. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Use the specified number and type of nails to attach the strap portion to the top or side of purlin or beam (minimum 4x width (2-2x4 or 4x4), except LTT19). Bolt the base to the wall or foundation with a suitable anchor; see table for the required bolt diameter. Do not install LTT and MTT tension ties raised. The HTT22 can be substituted for the MTT28B. See adhesive solutions on page 30 for tested, load-rated adhesive anchors for anchor bolt options. To tie double 2x members together, the designer must determine the fasteners required to bind members to act as one unit without splitting the wood. Refer to technical bulletin T-ANCHORSPEC for post-installed anchorage solutions (see page 199 for details) . CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

Post design shall be by Designer. 11. Loads shown apply to post tension slabs when one #4 rebar (minimum) is installed as on page 43. 12. When using structural composite lumber columns, table load values represent installation into the wide face. 13. For concrete spalls between 1" and 4" the allowable loads is 0.90 of the table loads. 14. Table loads apply to stemwall applications provided there is a minimum end distance of le. See table on page 43 for loads when installed less than le. 15. Nails: 16d sinker = 0.148" dia. x 3" long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information.
The STHD is an embedded strap tie holdown with high load capacity and a staggered nail pattern to help minimize splitting. The latest version of the STHD strap tie holdown incorporates many new features that improve installation and function. When used in conjunction with the StrapMate you have a system that helps prevent both parallel and perpendicular movement during installation relative to the form. Allows for accurate location of the STHDs and reduces the possibility of spalling. FEATURES The strap nailing pattern allows for nailing to the edges of double 2xs. A slot below the embedment line allows for increased front to back concrete bond and reduced spalling. Strap nail slots are countersunk to provide a lower nail head profile. Rim joist models accommodate up to a 17" clear span without any loss of strap nailing. MATERIAL: LSTHD8, LSTHD8RJ14 ga, all others12 ga. FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. See Post Tension information on page 43. Install before concrete pour with a StrapMate, or other holding device. Nail strap from the bottom up. Strap may be bent one full cycle. 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. For larger spalls see table footnotes for load reduction. Any portion of the strap left exposed should be protected against corrosion. For two pour installations spalling is measured from the first pour. Where fewer fasteners are used in the structural wood member, reduce loads according to the code. Unless otherwise noted, 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. To get the full table load, the minimum center-to-center spacing is twice the embedment depth when resisting tension loads at the same time. There is an increase in the amount of deflection if the strap is installed on the outside of the shear panel instead of directly to the framing. Refer to technical bulletin T-PLYWOOD (see page 199 for details) . FOUNDATION CORNERS: Nail quantities may be reduced for less than le corner distance design loadsuse the code allowable loads for fasteners in shear. To tie double 2x members together, the Designer must determine the fasteners required to bind members to act as one unit without splitting the wood. 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. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

Strap Tie Holdowns
Wood-to-concrete connectors that satisfy engineering and code requirements. MATERIAL: HPA10 ga; all others12 ga FINISH: Galvanized, some models available in ZMAX or HDG. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Install before concrete pour with a StrapMate, or other holding device. Bending the strap 90 to aid wall placement 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. For spalls between 1" and 4" (see illustration on page 45), the allowable load is 0.90 of the table loads. For two pour installations spalling is measured from the first pour. Nail strap from bottom up. Strap may be bent one full cycle. Where fewer fasteners are used in the structural wood member, reduce loads according to the code. A wood splitting problem may occur when holdowns are nailed to lumber less than 3" wide. To lessen splitting of 3xs or double 2xs, either fill every nail hole with 10dx1" nails or fill every other nail hole with 16d commons. Reduce the allowable load based on the size and quantity of fasteners used. Unless otherwise noted, 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. To get the full table load, the minimum center-to-center spacing is twice the embedment depth when resisting tension loads at the same time. To tie double 2x members together, the Designer must determine the fasteners required to bind members to act as one unit without splitting the wood. Additional studs attached to the shearwall studs or post may be required by the Designer for wall sheathing nailing. FOUNDATION CORNERS: Nail and bolt quantities have been reduced when the load is limited by tested concrete pullout strength (fill holes from bottom up); additional nail holes need not be filled. Nail and bolt quantities may be reduced further for less than 8" corner distance design loadsuse code allowable loads for fasteners used in shear. TWO-POUR SYSTEMS: When a cold joint exists between slab and foundation, the holdown will be lower on the stud wall since the embedded portion of the holdown must be in the foundation (see table footnote 1 for exception). Fewer fasteners are used, reducing allowable loads. Loads are calculated using a 4" slab over 6" and 8" foundation walls. PAHD42, HPAHD22, HPAHD22-2P HOLDOWNS: Designed to be installed at the edge of concrete. Tests determined the pullout strength with one horizontal #4 rebar in the shear cone. Rebar should be a minimum length of 2x embedment depth + 12" (except corner installations, page 45). Install before pouring concrete by nailing to form. Installation holes allow nailing to the form, resulting in 1" deeper embedment; see illustration. OPTIONS: See also STHD Holdowns, LTT, MTT, HTT Tension Ties.

For full loads, minimum side cover required is 3" for CB, 2" for LCB. Install all models with bottom of base plate flush with concrete. 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). Contact engineered wood manufacturers for connections that are not through the wide face. OPTIONS: The LCB may be shipped unassembled; specify Disassembled. LCB and CB are available in rough size. Other sizes available for CB specify W1 and W2 dimensions. Consult Simpson for bolt sizes and allowable loads. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

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; see Corrosion Information, page 10-11. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. If " pilot holes are bolted, no additional load is achieved. BCS: install dome nails on beam; drive nails at an angle through the beam into the post below to achieve the table loads BC: install with 16d commons or 16dx2" 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).

1. Loads may not be increased for short-term loading. 2. Allowable loads are determined using the lowest of the bearing loads using Fc equal to 425 psi for SPF, 625 psi for DF and 700 for LVL/PSL, or the 8 lally column capacity. 3. Loads are for a continuous beam. 4. Spliced conditions 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 and the lally cap must be evenly loaded. 5. To achieve lateral loads, LCC pipe must be welded to the column with an " fillet weld around the entire pipe. 6. Nails: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3" long.

Spliced conditions must be detailed by the Designer to transfer tension loads between spliced members by means other than the column cap. 3. Uplift loads do not apply to splice conditions. 4. Post sides are assumed to lie in the same vertical plane as the beam sides. 5. Loads may not be increased for short-term loading. 6. Uplift loads have been increased for earthquake or wind load durations with no further increase allowed; reduce where other load durations govern. 7. ECCQ downloads assume a post of W1 x W2. 8. When using structural composite lumber columns, screws must be applied to the wide face of the column. 9. ECCQ uses 14-SDS screws into the beam and 14-SDS screws into the post. 10. Beam depth must be greater than 7". 11. For 5Z\v " engineered lumber, use CCQ6X models.

Column Caps
There are cost-effective alternatives for replacing column caps by using a combination of connectors. Here are some examples. Designer must specify the options required.
NOTE: The side stirrup will be welded flush with the top of the main cap.
W1
MATERIAL: CC3, CC44, CC46, CC48, CC64, CC66, CC68, CC6-77 gauge; all others3 gauge FINISH: Simpson gray paint; may be ordered HDG; CCOno finish. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Bolt holes shall be a minimum of " to a maximum of " larger than the bolt diameter (per 2001 NDS, section 11.1.2). Contact engineered wood manufacturers for connections that are not through the wide face. OPTIONS: Straps may be rotated 90 where W1 W2 (see illustration). For special, custom, or rough cut lumber sizes, provide dimensions. An optional W2 dimension may be specified with any column size given (note that the W2 dimension on straps rotated 90 is limited by the W1 dimension). Column caps with W1, L, H1, and hole schedules different from the table may be special ordered. Provide a drawing to ensure accuracy. CCOColumn cap only (no straps) may be ordered for field-welding to pipe or other columns. No loads apply. CCO dimensions are the same as CC. CCOBAny two CCOs may be specified for back-to-back welding to create a cross beam connector. Use the table loads; the load is no greater than the lesser element employed. CCC/CCTCross Column Cap/T Column Cap. 7 gauge stirrups may be welded to column cap sides. Uplift loads do not apply to side stirrups. Column cap only (no straps) may be ordered for field-welding to pipe or other columns. No loads apply. Specify CCOC/CCOT. The following criteria apply: 1.The side stirrup maximum allowable download cannot exceed 40% of the download in the table for the unmodified product, and cannot exceed 10,665 lbs. The sum of the loads cannot exceed the table load. The column width in the direction of the beam width must be the same as the beam width: W1. 2.Specify the stirrup height from the top of the cap. The minimum H2 /H3 for the stirrup is 6" (3" for 44s). 3.The L dimension may vary depending on W3 or W4. Ordering examples: A CCC66 with W3 = 5", H2 and H3 = 6" is a CC66 column cap with 5" beams on each side with all beam seats flush. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

STEEL STRONG-WALL
We have responded to the needs of builders, specifiers and contractors who asked for improvements in our Strong-Wall shearwall. The result is the newest addition to the Strong-Wall line, our Steel Strong-Wall! This composite shearwall boasts some of the highest allowable loads in the industry. Wood framing is preattached for interior and exterior finishes. Stronger Wall: Allowable loads are two to three times higher than the original Strong-Wall. Unique Design: Resists distortion of the center section and results in sustained vertical load capacity.
Maximum shim height between Steel Strong-Wall and top plates or header is " using SDS "x3" screws. For additional shim height, see ICC-ES ESR-1679 or FL5113.
Note: Walls may also be used in 2x6 wall framing. Install Steel Strong-Wall flush to one face of framing and add furring to opposite side.

CONVENTIONAL LIGHT FRAMED CONSTRUCTION WALLBRACING APPLICATIONS

ICC-ES has approved the use of Steel Strong-Wall Shearwalls for wall bracing applications including a unique 1 for 2 substitution at garage fronts. This approved application allows only one Steel Strong-Wall panel to be used to meet the wall bracing requirements instead of the two site-built braced walls required by Code. See ICC-ES ESR-1679 or Technical Bulletin T-BRACEDWALL or T-SSWBRACE for additional information (see page 199 for details).

INSTALLATIONS FOR WOOD FLOOR SYSTEMS
Steel Strong-Wall panels designed for use on concrete foundations can be used in wood floor systems by simply using additional bearing plates below the panel. These bearing plates distribute the compression load over a greater area of the wood below, reducing the amount of wood crushing that causes load limiting deflection.

STRONG-WALL SHEARWALL
CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.
The Strong-Wall Shearwall can be installed around window and door openings, on garage wing walls, interior walls or any other locations where increased lateral resistance is required. Strong-Wall Shearwalls can reduce the amount of wall space required for shearwalls, allowing for more windows and doors in house designs. Standard models are used for applications where the wall will bear directly on concrete. Simply fasten the bottom of the wall to the embedded bolts with the provided hardware. The top of the wall attaches with pre-installed SDS screws to double top plates or can fasten to various header materials. Drilling or cutting holes in Strong-Wall Shearwalls is not allowed except as shown in the Allowable Hole Chart attached to each wall. Note for Standard and Raised Floor Walls: Walls may also be used in 2x6 wall framing. Install sheathing side at exterior wall line and add furring to interior framing side.

PREFABRICATED - The high-strength frame comes with the sheathing and holdowns pre-attached. Additional installation hardware is included. EASY TO INSTALL - Reusable templates locate the required holdown and mudsill anchor bolts accurately in the foundation. The walls are then placed over the anchor bolts followed by a simple top and bottom plate attachment. Use 1" wrench for " nut. Use " wrench for " nut. INSTALLATION GUIDE - Attached to every wall. STATE-OF-THE-ART TESTING - Third-party documentation of our cyclic testing verifies the Strong-Wall Shearwalls high design loads. QUALITY ASSURANCE - No-Equal quality controlled manufacturing reduces inspection problems commonly faced with site built shearwalls. SUPPORT AND SERVICE - Simpson provides the best engineering technical support and experienced field representation available to assist you.
The Strong-Wall Selector can help you choose the right Strong-Wall for your project, and its FREE!
The Simpson Strong-Wall Selector software program helps specifiers choose a lateral force resisting system using Wood or Steel Strong-Wall Shearwalls. Optimized or Manual input provides the most cost effective solution or allows designers to choose and check whether any type and number of walls satisfy the shear load requirements.

1. For plywood shear panel, add P to model name (e.g. SW24x8P), and multiply the table loads by 0.88. 2. For two-pour applications, use the SSTB34. See the SSTB anchor bolts, pages 33-34, for allowable loads and installation. Alternate " diameter anchorage may be required depending on load. 3. Recommended minimum "x12" mudsill anchor. 4. Maximum shim height between Strong-Wall and top plates or header is ". Shims of greater thickness will result in load reductions. 5. See allowable vertical load table on page 68 for Strong-Wall maximum compression and tension capacities.
6. Standard walls may be installed with sheathing facing inside or outside. 7. Allowable shear capacities must be reduced as limited by anchor bolt capacities for installations on CMU. See page 33 for SSTB capacities in CMU.

RAISED FLOOR (-RF)
Raised Floor walls are designed and tested for installation on top of raised wood floor systems. All 2nd Floor Applications must use the Raised Floor Models. Raised Floor walls are compatible with both solid sawn lumber and I-joist floor systems. Simpson SDS screws pre-installed in both the top and bottom of the wall allow for fast installation to the top plate and floor framing elements.
STRONG-WALL SHEARWALL FOR 2nd FLOOR APPLICATIONS!
Raised Floor (-RF) walls are code listed for use on the second floor of two-story wood light-frame construction. Simpson Strong-Tie recommends the Simpson Takeup Device, (SW-TUD1KT), be used at the 2nd floor to compensate for wood shrinkage and settlement due to dead load.

HUSC Concealed Flange Face Mount Hanger

When framing conditions necessitate this application, only the HUSC46 may be used with the Strong-Wall Shearwall for light duty door and window headers. With face nailing closer to the center of the carrying member and the double shear nailing feature, an HUSC46 hanger will achieve the loads listed in the Face Mount Hanger tables. Application is limited to the HUSC46. See page 73 for details. NOTE: When nailing into the carrying members end grain, the allowable load is 0.67 of the table load.

These allowable vertical loads are intended to aid the user in correctly implementing the Strong-Wall Shearwall into the load path of the structure. Load combinations that tend to cause compression can be limited by perpendicular to grain interface issues, by buckling of the vertical members or by the bending and shear capacity of the combined top plates. Loads that result in net uplift in the boundary posts are limited by the value T1 shown in the table.

1. For RF Raised Floor walls, use the corresponding standard Strong-Wall Shearwall values.
C1 = Max. compressive force applied over end post. C2 = Max. compressive force applied over interior post. C3 = Max. compressive force applied to top plates between studs. C4 = Max. compressive force in end post due to load from above (C1) and overturning. C5 = Max. compressive force in interior post. T1 = Max. allowable tension force in holdown due to net uplift.

GARAGE PORTAL SYSTEMS
Garage Portal systems provide increased lateral resistance over site-built shearwalls in locations where space is at a premium. Portal walls shall be installed with a minimum 12" nominal deep header for adequate shear nailing. Because the portal walls and header are tested as a system, the resulting portal frame offers superior engineered performance over site-built walls. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart. Note for Garage Portal Walls: Cripple walls over the garage header shall be designed by Engineer of Record.

Double Shear Joist Hangers
See Hanger tables on pages 74 to 80. See Hanger Options on pages 193 for hanger modifications, which may result in reduced loads. 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 standard nails for all connections. (Do not bend or remove tabs.) MATERIAL: See tables, pages 74 to 80. FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in stainless steel or ZMAX; see Corrosion Information, page 10-11. 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. 16d sinkers (0.148" dia. x 3" long) may be used where 10d commons are specified with no reduction in load. Where 16d commons are specified, 10d commons or 16d sinkers (0.148" dia. x 3" long) may be used at 0.85 of the table load. With 3x carrying members, use 16dx2" nails into the header and 16d commons into the joist with no load reduction. With 2x carrying members, use 10dx1" nails into the header and 10d commons into the joist, reduce the load to 0.64 of the table value. Use stainless steel (SS) nails with SS hangers. OPTIONS: LUS hangers cannot be modified. HUS hangers available with the header flanges turned in for 2-2x (3") and 4x only, with no load reduction. See the HUSC Concealed Flange illustration.

1. 10d commons or 16d sinkers may be used instead of the specified 16d at 0.85 of the table load value. 2. 16d sinkers may be used instead of the specified 10d commons with no load reduction. (16d sinkers are not acceptable for HDG applications.) 3. Uplift loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed. Divide by 1.33 and 1.60 for normal loading such as in cantilever construction. 4. MIN nailing quantity and load valuesfill all round holes; MAX nailing quantity and load valuesfill all round and triangle holes.
5. DF/SP loads can be used for SCL that has fastener holding capacity of Doug Fir. 6. Truss chord cross-grain tension may limit allowable loads. Refer to Technical Bulletins T-ANSITPISPF, T-ANSITPISP and T-ANSITPIDF for allowable loads that consider ANSI/TPI 1-2002 wood member design criteria (see page 199 for details) . 7. Nails: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 = 0.148" dia. x 1" long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information. *Hangers do not have an Installed Cost Index.

1. 10d commons or 16d sinkers may be used instead of the specified 16d at 0.85 of the table load value. 2. 16d sinkers may be used instead of the specified 10d commons with no load reduction. (16d sinkers are not acceptable for HDG applications.) 3. Uplift loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed. Divide by 1.33 and 1.60 for normal loading such as in cantilever construction. 4. MIN nailing quantity and load valuesfill all round holes; MAX nailing quantity and load valuesfill all round and triangle holes.

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 where as 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 83 to 85. See Hanger Options on pages 193 and 197 for hanger modifications, which may result in reduced loads. MATERIAL: See tables, pages 83 to 85. FINISH: BA, JB, LB and BGalvanized; HHBall saddle hangers and all welded sloped and special hangersSimpson gray paint. 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 minimum required weld to the top flanges is " x 2" (" x 1" for LB) fillet weld to each side of each top flange tab for 14 and 12 gauge and " 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 14 for welding information). Weld on applications produce the maximum allowable down 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. OPTIONS: B and HHB Other widths are available; specify W dimension (the minimum W dimension is 1" for B and 3Zv" for HHB). B dimensions may be increased on some models. See Hanger Options, page 193. BA, JB and LB hangers cannot be modified. Use LBV as an alternative for the JB/LB. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart. Nailer Table This table also applies to sloped-seat hangers.

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 83 to 85; W12 ga. top flange and stirrup; WM, WMU12 ga. top flange and stirrup; WNP, WP, WPU7 ga. top flange, 12 ga. stirrup; HW3 ga. top flange, 11 ga. stirrup; HWU3 ga. top flange, 10 ga, stirrup. FINISH: Simpson gray paint; hot-dipped galvanized available: specify HDG, check factory. ALLOWABLE LOADS: For hanger heights exceeding the joist height, the allowable load is 0.50 of the table load. 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. Hangers may be welded to steel headers with weld size to match material thickness (approximate thickness shown) " for W, " for WNP/WPU and " for HW/HWU, by 1" fillet welds located at each end of the top flange (see page 14 for welding information). 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. H dimensions are sized to account for normal joist shrinkage. W dimensions are for dressed timber widths. 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. See Hanger Options, page 193 for hanger modifications and associated load reductions. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

Installation on Wood Nailer

1. 16d sinkers (0.148" dia. x 3" long) may be used where 10d commons are called out with no load reduction. 2. Code values are based on DF/SP header species. 3. WMU, WPU and HWU uplift loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading; no further increase allowed. Divide (133 &160) by 1.33 for normal loading like cantilever construction. 4. Nails: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 = 0.148" dia. x 1" long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information. 5. Mid-wall Installation requires minimum of one grouted course above and below the hanger.

THA/THAC
Adjustable Truss Hangers
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 can be formed to give top flange hanger convenience. PAN nailing helps eliminate splitting of 4x2 truss bottom chords. MATERIAL: See table. FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in ZMAX; see Corrosion Information, page 10-11. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Two different installation methods may be used: Maximum nailingInstall all face nails according to the table. 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.With single 2x carrying members, use 10dx1" nails into the carrying member, and 10d or 16d commons into the carried member, and use 0.81 of the table value for 18 gauge, and 0.68 of the table value for 16 gauge. Minimum nailingFor the THA29, the minimum nailing schedule requires the use of joist double shear nailing as detailed above, and that the strap be field-formed over the header a minimum of 2". A minimum of four top and four face nails must be used. For all models except the THA29, the minimum nailing schedule may be followed where double shear nailing is not possible, provided the strap is field-formed over the top of the header a minimum of 1" for the THA213 and THA413, and 2" for all others, and a minimum of four top and two face nails are used.

GENERAL CONNECTOR INSTALLATION

TOP FLANGE HANGERS PREVENT ROTATION
Hangers provide some joist rotation resistance; however, additional lateral restraint may be required for deep joists. Web Stiffener Required Hanger side flange should be at least 60% of joist depth or potential joist rotation must be addressed.
No Web Stiffener Installed Hanger side flange supports joist top flange. 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 over-spread, it can raise the I-joist above the header and may cause uneven surfaces and squeaky floors.
Hanger Not Plumb A hanger kicked-out from the header can cause uneven surfaces and squeaky floors.
Rotation Resistance If non-skewed hanger side flange is less than 60% of joist depth, attach staggered A34 framing anchors above the hanger. No Web Stiffener Results in Rotation Hanger side flange is below the joist top flange. No web stiffener results in rotation, unless restrained by other means.

SLOPED JOISTS For sloped joists up to :12 there is no reduction. For slopes greater than :12 see individual product pages or refer to technical bulletin T-SLOPEJST (see page 199 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 (0.148 dia.), no longer than 1". 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.

Toe nailing causes squeaks and improper hanger installations. Do not toe nail I-joists before installing top flange or face mount hangers.
STRONG-DRIVE SCREW INSTALLATION FORLVL

SDS screws are an easy to install method for joining multiple LVL members to make a beam. Installation: No pre-drilling required. See illustrations for SDS positioning on different assemblies. Install with high-torque, low-speed drill (5 amp+). Do not over-drive the SDS screws. Design: Allowable load values are derived from testing based on ASTM D-1761. The Designer shall apply adjustment factors per 2001 NDS. Loads shown are CD = 1.0. Increase as allowed per code to a maximum CD = 1.33. This document uses Douglas Fir-Larch values (G = 0.5), as per the LVL and PSL manufacturers instructions. Loads shown are at 100%. Increase as allowed by code. The designer shall specify the location of all screws (stagger screws on opposite faces). Minimum recommended spacingWide Face: end distance 4", edge distance 1", spacing parallel to grain 4", spacing perpendicular to grain 2". Uniform loads in the table below are based on the capacity of the fasteners to transfer loads between plies. The capacity of the LVL beam may be less and should be checked by a qualified Designer or with the manufacturers literature.

Some products available in stainless steel or ZMAX; see Corrosion Information, page 10-11. 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. 16d sinkers (0.148" dia. x 3" long) may be used where 10d commons are specified with no reduction in load. Where 16d commons are specified, 10d commons or 16d sinkers (0.148" dia. x 3" long) may be used at 0.85 of the table load. With 3x carrying members, use 16dx2" (Simpson N16) nails into the header and 16d commons into the joist with no load reduction. With 2x carrying members, use 10dx1" nails into the 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 3" wide joist only, with no load reduction. See HUSC Concealed Flange illustration. Concealed flanges are not available for HGUS, HUS1.81/10 and HHUS. See Hanger Options, page 193, for sloped and/or skewed HHUS and HGUS models. Other sizes available; contact Simpson for details.

1. 10d commons or 16d sinkers may be used instead of the specified 16d at 0.85 of the table load value. 2. 16d sinkers may be used instead of the specified 10d commons with no load reduction. 3. Uplift loads based on DF/SP lumber have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed. Divide (133) Loads by 1.33 for normal loading such as in cantilever construction. For SPF, use 0.86 x DF/SP Uplift Load.
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.

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 field-formed over the top of the header by a minimum of 2". CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

LGU/MGU/HGU/HHGU High Capacity Girder Hangers

The GU hangers are a high-capacity girder hangers designed for situations where the header and joist are flush at top. This part can be used for retrofit on the framing members after they are temporarily placed in position. It uses Simpson Strong-Drive screws (SDS) to make installation fast and easy, with no pre-drilling required. MATERIAL: See table. FINISH: Galvanized, HHGUSimpson gray paint. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Install with Simpsons SDS "x2" 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. OPTIONS: Hot-dipped galvanized available. Order as X version, specify HDG. Other seat widths available. Order as X version, specify width. See Hanger Options, page 193, for one flange concealed option. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

1. Uplift loads have been increased for earthquake and wind loading, with no further increase allowed. 2. Specify H dimension. The Designer should check the shear capacity of the carried member to make sure it matches the hangers capacity. Maximum H = 30". 3. Header depth must exceed the h a dimension shown and is based on the size necessary to fit screw pattern. Use the next size up that meets the minimum depth requirement.

TOP FLANGE HANGERS ITS/ITT/MIT/HITEngineered Wood Products Hangers

Funnel Flange
1(6QE"
Supports 156 " to 156O" thick flanges
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 NEW! 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 secures I-joists with flange thicknesses from 1Z\," to 1Z\x". The ITS design maintains superior allowable download capacities equal to or greater than the ITT for Douglas Fir and all SCL headers ITT The ITTs special bend-tabs constrains the I-joist, helping to reduce squeaks resulting from joist movement. I-joist flange thickness for bend-tab application is 1" to 1". 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 108 to 117. Refer to Joist Manufacturers literature or appropriate Simpson Connector Selection Guide for actual joist sizes. MATERIAL: ITS, ITT18 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 102-103. ITSno joist nailing required for standard I-joist installation without web stiffeners. When supporting I-joists with web stiffeners or rectangular SCL member 2-10dx1Z\x" must be installed into optional triangle joist nail holes. ITS and ITToptional triangle nail holes may be used for additional load. See allowable load tables. Refer to technical bulletin T-OPTUPLIFTCWP for additional ITT options (see page 199 for details). ITTbend tabs may be installed unbent into web stiffeners. 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. ALLOWABLE LOADS: The ITS, ITT, 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. However these models will normally accommodate a skew of up to 5. For sloped joists up to :12 there is no reduction, between :12 and up to :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.

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 108 to 117. See Hanger Options on page 193 for hanger modifications, which may result in reduced loads. MATERIAL: See tables, pages 108 to 117. FINISH: LBV, B, BA and HBGalvanized; all saddle hangers and all welded sloped and special hangersSimpson gray paint. LBV, B, BA and HB may be ordered hot-dip galvanized; specify HDG. INSTALLATION: Use 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 " x 2" fillet weld to each side of each top flange tab for 14 and 12 gauge and " 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 14 for weld information. Weld on applications produce the maximum allowable down load listed. Uplift loads do not apply to welded applications. 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. OPTIONS: LBV, B and HB Other widths are available; specify W dimension (the minimum W dimension is 1"). The finish on special B hangers will depend on the manufacturing process used. Check with your Simpson representative for details. Hot-dipped galvanized available: specify HDG. See Hanger Options, page 193. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart. Nailer Table

GLTV/HGLTV Heavy Duty Hangers

GLTV and HGLTV hangers are designed for structural composite lumber header applications that require high loads. The top flange nails are sized and specifically located to prevent degradation of the header due to splitting of laminations. For heavy loads with a face-mount application, see the HGUS series. MATERIAL: Top flange3 gauge; Stirrups7 gauge FINISH: Simpson gray paint INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table. This series may be used for weld-on applications. Minimum required weld is a " x 2" fillet weld at each end of the top flange for GLTV, and a " x 2" fillet weld at each end of the top flange for HGLTV, see page 14 for weld information. Weld-on applications produce maximum loads listed. Uplift loads do not apply to this application. Web stiffeners are required with I-joists using this hanger style. GLTV may be installed on a nailer and ledger; HGLTV may be installed on a ledger only. Nailers and ledgers must be a minimum of 4x lumber to guarantee the load values given in the tables. Thinner lumber or laminated veneer lumber used as a nailer must be evaluated by the building designer. OPTIONS: Hot-dipped galvanized: specify HDG. See Hanger Options, page 193. Saddle hanger versions are available in some engineered wood sizes. Refer to technical bulletin T-EWPSADDLE (see page 199 for details) . CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

MSC Multiple Seat Connector

The MSC supports the ridge and two valleys for roof construction. Material: Top flange3 ga, stirrups11 ga FINISH: Simpson gray paint INSTALLATION: Distribute the total load evenly about the centerline to avoid eccentric loading. Fasten all built-up members together as one unit. Net height will be calculated based on specified valley member depth and slope by the factory unless noted otherwise. SLOPED AND/OR SKEWED VALLEYS The valley stirrups can be sloped to 45 and skewed from 25 to 45 . (MSC5 skewed 20-45.) The total design load of the hanger is split between the ridge (20%) and each valley (40%). MSC connectors can be used for two valley connections with no ridge member. Divide the total load by two for each valley load. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

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

120
The SUR/L1.81, 2.56 and New HSUR/L4.12, 4.75 and 5.12 are improved 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 header and joist. Installation is further simplified with no required bevel cuts. MATERIAL: See table. FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in ZMAX; see Corrosion Information, page 10-11. 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. Web stiffeners are required for I-joist applications except for the SUR/L1.81, 2.56, HSUR/L4.12, 4.75 and 5.12. 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 opposite page). For installations to masonry or concrete, see page 152. OPTIONS: These hangers will accommodate a 40 to 50 skew. Available with the A2 flange turned in on 2-2x and 4x models only (see illustration). For example, specify HSURC410, HSULC410, SURC210-2, or SULC210-2. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

FACE MOUNT HANGERS HU/HUCQ/HGUS

See Hanger Options on page 193 for hanger modifications, which may result in reduced loads. HUMost models have triangle and round holes. To achieve maximum loads, fill both round and triangle holes with common nails. HGUSThe highest loads available for face mount hangers. 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. FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in ZMAX; see Corrosion Information, page 10-11. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. HUcan be installed filling round holes only, or filling round and triangle holes for maximum values. HGUSNails must be driven at an angle through the joist or truss into the header to achieve the table loads. Not designed for nailer applications. With 3x carrying members, use 16dx2" (0.162" dia. x 2" long) nails into the header and 16d commons into the joist with no load reduction. With 2x carrying members, use 10dx1" (0.148" dia. x 1" long) nails into the header and 10d commons into the joist, and reduce the load to 0.64 of the table value. For installations to masonry or concrete, see page 152. OPTIONS: HU hangers available with the header flanges turned in for 2" and larger widths, with no load reductionorder HUC hanger. See Hanger Options on page 193, for sloped and/or skewed HU models, and HUC (concealed flange) models. Concealed flanges are not available for HGUS. Other sizes available; consult Simpson.

LGU/MGU/HGU/HHGU 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-Drive screws make installation fast and easy, with no pre-drilling required. MATERIAL: See table. FINISH: Galvanized, HHGUSimpson gray paint. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Install with Simpsons SDS "x2" 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 153. OPTIONS: Hot-dipped galvanized available. Order as X version, specify HDG. Other seat widths available. Order as X version, specify width.

TOP FLANGE HANGERS HHB/GB/HGB
Beam & Purlin Hangers
See table on page 127. See Hanger Options on page 193 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 127. FINISH: HHB, GB, HGB, all saddle hangers and all welded sloped and special hangers Simpson gray paint. HHB 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 " x 2" fillet weld to each side of each top flange tab for 14 and 12 gauge and " 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 14 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. OPTIONS: HHBother widths are available; specify W dimension (the minimum W dimension is 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 finish on special B hangers will depend on the manufacturing process used. Check with your Simpson representative for details. Hot-dipped galvanized available: specify HDG. B dimensions may be increased on some models. See Hanger Options, page 193.

1. Roof loads are 125% of floor loads unless limited by other criteria. 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 calculated when there are no fasteners in the top of hanger. Testing has shown that the LEG/MEG and EG hangers will develop the full bearing area with a reduction factor of 3.

1. N54A fasteners are supplied with hangers. 2. Roof loads are 125% of floor loads unless limited by other criteria. 3. Uplift loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed. Divide by 1.33 and 1.60 for normal loading such as in cantilever construction. 4. GLT, HGLT, GLS, HGLS uplift loads only apply when H is 28 or less. 5. Allowable loads for glulam sizes are based on 560 psi wood bearing. 6. Maximum allowable horizontal load for the GLST/HGLST is 13080 lbs (133) and 14580 lbs (160). Load is horizontal across the supporting member and independent of vertical loads and includes a 33% and 60% increase for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed. 7. Min H is the minimum H dimension that may be specified.
8. Allowable loads assume GLS, GLST, HGLS and HGLST loads are distributed evenly on each side of the header with loads shown for each stirrup. When the load is not evenly distributed, use the equivalent single-sided top flange hanger allowable load for each side. 9. GLS, GLST, HGLS, HGLST fasteners listed are for one side only. Fasteners supplied are for both sides of the saddle. 10. SPEC: Specify the header dimensions for the saddle hangers. (S dimension is illustrated on page 124.) 11.

THA/THAC
Adjustable Truss Hangers
The THA series extra long straps allow full nailing and can be field-formed to give top flange hanger convenience. MATERIAL: See table. FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in ZMAX; see Corrosion Information, page 10-11. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Two different installation methods may be used: Maximum nailingInstall all face nails according to the table. 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. With single 2x carrying members, use 10dx1" nails into the carrying member, and 10d or 16d commons into the carried member, and use 0.81 of the table value for 18 gauge, and 0.68 of the table value for 16 gauge. Minimum nailingFor the THA29, the minimum nailing schedule requires the use of joist double shear nailing as detailed above, and that the strap be field-formed over the header a minimum of 2". A minimum of four top and four face nails must be used. For all models except the THA29, the minimum nailing schedule may be followed where double shear nailing is not possible, provided the strap is field-formed over the top of the header a minimum of 1" for the THA213 and THA413, and 2" for all others, and a minimum of four top and two face nails are used. OPTIONS: THA hangers available with the header flanges turned in for 3" (except THA413) and larger, with no load reduction order THAC hanger. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

1. 16d sinkers may be used to replace 16d commons at 0.85 of table load. 2. Uplift has been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern. 3. Wind (133) is a download rating. 4. 160% uplift load for THA422-2 and THAC422-2 is 2060 lbs. 5. For single 4x2 top chord carrying members or single 2x nailers, THA 4x hangers can be used with 10dx1" top nails and a reduced
load to 0.83 of the table value. Loads are based on hanger installations at panel points. 6. Install joist nails straight by bending the double shear tabs. For minimum nailing on a nailer (see detail above). 7. For Minimum Nailing loads, required top flange nails shall not be installed within Z\v" from the edge of the top flange member. 8. Nails: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 = 0.148" dia. x 1" long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information.

LUS/MUS/HUS/HHUS/HGUS/HUSC
Double Shear Joist Hangers
The MUS offers increased load capacity and bearing compared to LUS connectors for medium load truss applications. 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 below and on page 131. FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in stainless steel or ZMAX; see Corrosion Information, page 10-11. 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. 16d sinkers (0.148" dia. x 3" long) may be used where 10d commons are specified with no reduction in load. Where 16d commons are specified, 10d commons or 16d sinkers (0.148" dia. x 3" long) may be used at 0.85 of the table load. With 3x carrying members, use 16dx2" nails into the header and 16d commons into the joist with no load reduction. With single 2x carrying members, use 10dx1" nails into the header and 10d commons into the joist, and reduce the load to 0.64 of the table value. OPTIONS: LUS and MUS hangers cannot be modified. HUS hangers available with the header flanges turned in for 2-2x (3") 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 193, for sloped and/or skewed HHUS models. Other sizes available; consult your Simpson representative.

1. Allowable loads shown consider ANSI/ TPI 1-2002 member design criteria. 2. For allowable loads on 2x10 girder bottom chords, multiple ply hangers and on SPF/HF header wood species, refer to technical bulletin T-REDHEEL (see page 199 for details) . 3. HGUS, HHUS and HGUQ hangers installed with the joist fastener quantities shown above are recommended for installation on minimum 2-ply 2x girder bottom chords. See T-REDHEEL for HHUS and HGUQ allowable loads (see page 199 for details) . 4. Allowable loads are based on the lowest joist fastener holes filled. For the LUS, fill the two lowest joist fasteners holes on the right side of the hanger and the single lowest joist fastener hole on the left side of the hanger. 5. Wind (133) and (160) is a download rating. 6. Nails: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3" long, 16dx2 = 0.162" dia. x 2" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 = 0.148" dia. x 1" long, See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information.

1. Uplift loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed. Divide by 1.33 and 1.60 for normal loading as in cantilever construction. 2. Wind (133) is a download rating. 3. Minimum heel height shown is required to achieve full table loads. For less than minimum heel height, see Allowable Loads with Reduced Heel Height on page 130. 4. Truss chord cross-grain tension may limit allowable loads. Refer to Technical Bulletins
T-ANSITPISPF, T-ANSITPISP and T-ANSITPIDF for allowable loads that consider ANSI/TPI 1-2002 wood member design criteria (see page 199 for details) . 5. Loads shown are based on minimum of 2-ply 2x girder bottom chords. 6. See installation notes on page 130 for fastener load modifications. 7. Nails: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3" long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information.

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) apply to heel heights as low as 3". 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 greater than " to allow for greater construction tolerances (maximum gap for standard allowable loads is " per ASTM D-1761). 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. For single 2x carrying members, use N10 (10dx1") 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. See alternate installation for applications using the HTU28 or HTU210 on a 2x6 carrying member for additional uplift capacity. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing 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. Allowable load calculations are based on the 2001 NDS. 4. Uplift has been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern. 5. Wind (133) is a download rating. 6. For hanger gaps between " and " use the Alternate Allowable Loads.
7. Truss chord cross-grain tension may limit allowable loads. Refer to Technical Bulletins T-ANSITPISPF, T-ANSITPISP and T-ANSITPIDF for allowable loads that consider ANSI/TPI 1-2002 wood member design criteria (see page 199 for details) . 8.

Plated Truss Top Flange Hangers
This series is designed to hang trusses in wood, masonry and steel construction. MATERIAL: W, WM12 gauge top flange and stirrup, WP7 gauge top flange and 12 gauge stirrup. FINISH: Simpson gray paint; hot-dipped galvanized available: specify HDG. ALLOWABLE LOADS: For hanger heights exceeding the joist height, the allowable load is 0.50 of the table load. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. Hangers may be welded to steel headers with " for W, and " for WP, by 1" 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. For 4x2 trusses specify alternate nail pattern which relocates the nails to the bottom of the joist. OPTIONS: See Hanger Options, page 193. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

LTHJ Truss Hip/Jack Hangers

Single piece, non-welded truss hip/jack connector. See the THJA26 and LTHJA26 hip/jack hangers for hangers that accommodate both right and left hand hips and can be installed after the hip and jack. MATERIAL: 18 gauge FINISH: Galvanized; also available in ZMAX coating. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. All multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit. The two 10d common nails into the jack must be driven at an angle through the side plate slot and jack, and into the carrying member; see HUS for double shear nailing details. The end of the jack cannot be more than " from the back plate to meet required nail penetration. Should be attached to a double girder truss to allow for code-required minimum nail penetration. For hip and jack combinations, distribute 65% to 85% of the total load to the hip member. With single 2x carrying members, use 10dx1" nails and use 0.82 of the table value. TO ORDER: Specify LTHJL for left 45 skewed hip truss and LTHJR for right 45 skewed hip truss. OPTIONS: SLOPE AND/OR SKEW Available in hip slopes up to 45 and/or skews left or right from 46 to 67. For optional configurations, loads are 100% of table loads. To order specify: slope direction and degree and/or skew direction and degree. Example: To order an LTHJR sloped down 45 and skewed right 55, order an LTHJRX SLD45 SKR55. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

MSCPT
Multiple Truss Hangers
The MSCPT is a welded hanger designed to carry up to three trusses intersecting at one point into a double ply girder truss. The top flange is notched at the center to accommodate vertical and diagonal web members in the girder truss. MATERIAL: Top flange3 gauge; stirrup11 gauge (MSCPT2, MSCPT2N), 7 gauge (MSCPT2-2, MSCPT2-2N). FINISH: Simpson gray paint INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. The total load must be evenly distributed about the centerline to avoid eccentric loading. All multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit. Minimum vertical carrying member sizes are 2x6 for MSCPT2 and MSCPT2N, and 2x8 for MSCPT2-2 and MSCPT2-2N. Minimum carrying member bottom chord is 2x6. OPTIONS: H1 and H2 may be increased for alignment with larger bottom chords. Hip stirrups can be skewed from 25 to 45. The W1 and W2 of the MSCPT2 may be increased up to 3", provided the stirrups configuration remains symmetrical. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

THGQ/THGQH
Truss Girder Hangers
A lower cost alternative to bolted hangers, the THGQ and THGQH hangers for multi-ply girder trusses use SDS screws to provide high load capacities and easier installation compared to bolts. Both 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. MATERIAL: THGQ7 gauge, THGQH3 gauge FINISH: THGQGalvanized, THGQHSimpson 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. Girders must be adequately laterally braced to prevent excessive displacement due to secondary torsional stresses (Ref ANSI/TPI 1-2002 Section 7.4.3.5). Not recommended for installation into LSL.

The TSB2 is an innovative product that meets or exceeds current lateral bracing methods. FEATURES: This is the only product of its type that captures the on-center spacing of the trusses, allowing quicker installation. Resists tension and compression loads equal to or greater than BCSI 1-03 prescriptive requirements. Does not require any field modification prior to installation. Can be used as Permanent Lateral Bracing and as Temporary Erection Bracing. Has a low profile that can be sheathed over when used as erection bracing, eliminating the need to remove bracing prior to sheathing. The TSB2 allowable loads are working loads with a reduction factor of 3 applied. The Designer or Engineer of Record does not have to apply reduction factors.

TBD20 Diagonal Truss Bracer

The TBD20 is a temporary truss bracing strap system used in conjunction with TSB2 to meet or exceed TPI/WTCA BCSI 1-03 recommendations. When installed on the top and bottom, TBD20 captures the top and bottom truss chords lateral construction and wind forces delivered by TSB2 and transfers it diagonally in tension to the edge of the braced truss system. FEATURES: Higher capacity for wind applications than traditional wood lateral systems. Strap clip system introduces innovative single and double shear combination to achieve higher capacity. Has a low profile that can be sheathed over, eliminating the need to remove bracing prior to sheathing. TBD20 and TSB2, sheathed over, can be a supplemental permanent bracing system to the roof sheathing. MATERIAL: 20 gauge FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes. TBD20 straps span diagonally at approximately 45 between parallel TSB-2 bracers. Strap shall not be slack, but tight and ready to engage in tension. TBD20 tension straps shall be installed for each direction, thus creating an X-bracing system. To resist construction forces, refer to TPI/WTCA BCSI 1-03 for location and frequency of X-braced sections. To resist wind forces, the designer of record shall evaluate the structure to determine the location and frequency of X-braced sections. For wind applications, solid blocking between X-braced trusses with LTP5 or RBC to top plate and H2.5 or H2.5A at each strap clip end from truss to top plate are recommended to resist lateral and uplift forces respectively. Design of lateral and vertical load path to deliver forces to ground is by designer of record. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

H Seismic & Hurricane Ties / LTA1 Lateral Truss Anchor

The Hurricane Tie series features various configurations of wind and seismic ties for trusses and rafters. The new H10S provides a high capacity connection from truss/rafter to wall. Also suitable for wood-to-wood applications (see page 168). The HM9 is designed to retrofit roof truss/rafters for block construction. The HM9 hurricane tie provides high uplift and lateral capacity using Simpson concrete fasteners. The presloped 5:12 seat of the H16 provides for a tight fit and reduced deflection. The strap length provides for various truss heights up to a maximum of 13". Minimum heel height for H16 series is 4". The LTA1 develops high uplift and lateral loads at a minimum heel height. The side tabs act as a locator in the block and the four embedded hooks allow for higher loads with a relatively shallow embedment. MATERIAL: See table. FINISH: Galvanized; see Corrosion Information, page 10-11. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. HGAM10 can be installed into grouted concrete block. Screws are provided. Hurricane Ties do not replace solid blocking. Attach to grouted concrete block with a minimum one #5 rebar horizontal in the top lintel block. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

MGT/HGTGirder Tiedowns
The MGT and HGT series are girder tie-downs for moderate to high load applications that are typically installed prior to roof sheathing. The MGT wraps over the heel and is anchored on one side of the truss. The HGT straddles the heel and anchors on both sides of the truss. The HGT is field adjustable, making it suitable for trusses with top chord slopes ranging from 3:12 to 8:12. The HGT is available in sizes for 2, 3 and 4-ply widths. MATERIAL: MGT12 ga; HGT7 ga. FINISH: MGT Galvanized; HGTSimpson gray paint INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. When the HGT-3 is used with a 2-ply girder or beam, shimming is required and must be fastened to act as one unit. Attach to grouted concrete block with a minimum one #5 rebar horizontal in the top lintel block. Minimum f c = 2500 psi maximum aggregate ". See page 172 for wood applications.

The VGT, LGT and FGTR products are girder tie-downs for moderate to high load applications that can be installed before or after roof sheathing. The NEW Variable Girder Tiedown (VGT) is a higher capacity alternative to the LGT and MGT for girder trusses. It attaches with SDS screws to the side of the truss, allowing it to be used in new or retrofit applications. This versatile part is suitable for trusses with 2x4 or larger top chords and features a predeflected crescent washer that allows it to accommodate top chord pitches between 3:12 and 8:12. The VGT is also available with one flange concealed for attachment to trusses with no tail. LGT connectors are girder truss tiedowns. Low profile connection to wall ensures easy installation of drywall. Simple to install and can be installed on the inside or outside of wall. They provide additional bearing enhancement for heavy download applications. The Face Mount Girder Tie-Down (FGTR) is a non-pitch specific girder tiedown suitable for new construction or retrofit applications. The FGTR installs on concrete block or concrete walls and can be used in pairs for higher capacity. MATERIAL: VGT7 gauge; LGT14 gauge; FGTRStraps: 7 gauge, Plate: 3 gauge FINISH: VGT, LGTGalvanized; FGTRPowder Coated INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Minimum grout or concrete strength = 2500 psi. To achieve the loads listed in the table below, the product shall be attached to a grouted and reinforced block wall or a reinforced concrete wall designed by others to transfer the high concentrated uplift loads to the foundation. VGT/FGTR: Screw holes are configured to allow for double installation on a two-ply (minimum) truss. The product can be installed in a single application or in pairs to achieve a higher uplift capacity. Can be installed on roof pitches up to 8:12 or on a bottom chord designed to transfer the loads. FGTR Only 2 of the 4 holes provided on each strap are required to be filled to achieve the catalog loads. The first Titen HD screw anchor "x5" (THD) shall be installed a minimum of 4" from the top of the wall.Fasteners shall not be installed in adjacent holes.

Coiled Straps
CMSTC provides nail slots for easy installation and coined edges for safe handling; it can be cut to length. CS are continuous utility straps which can be cut to length on the job site. Packaged in lightweight (about 40 pounds) cartons. FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in ZMAX; see Corrosion Information, page 10-11. 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. 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 199 for details) . CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

H Seismic & Hurricane Ties

The Hurricane Tie series features various configurations of wind and seismic ties for trusses and rafters. The NEW H10S provides a high capacity connection from truss/ rafter to stud. A flexible nailing pattern allows installation where the stud is offset from the rafter up to 1". Suitable for wood-towood and wood-to-CMU/concrete applications. The H2.5Ts truncated design was developed to accommodate trusses with 2x4 bottom chords. The easy to install, five nail pattern is stronger and gets better uplift loads than our popular H2.5 hurricane tie. The H14 is the high uplift hurricane tie. It can be installed with rafter nailing flanges facing inwards or outwards. The H2.5A is designed for easy installation, with higher uplift loads to meet new code requirements. MATERIAL: See table. FINISH: Galvanized. H7Z and H11ZZMAX. Some models available in stainless steel or ZMAX; see Corrosion Information, page 10-11. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. H1 can be installed with flanges facing inwards (reverse of H1 drawing number 1). H2.5, H2.5T, H3, H4, H5 and H6 ties are only shipped in equal quantities of rights and lefts. (Rights shown.) Hurricane Ties do not replace solid blocking. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

1. Loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern. 2. Allowable loads are for one anchor. A minimum rafter thickness of 2" must be used when framing anchors are installed on each side of the joist and on the same side of the plate (exception: H2.5A). 3. Allowable DF/SP uplift load for stud to bottom plate installation is 400 lbs. (H2.5); 390 lbs. (H2.5A); 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 boundary members or prevent cross grain bending of the truss or rafter members. Additional shear transfer elements shall be considered where there may be effects of cross grain bending or tension.
5. Hurricane Ties are shown installed on the outside of the wall for clarity. Installation on the inside of the wall is acceptable. For uplift Continuous Load Path, connections in the same area (i.e. truss to plate connector and plate to stud connector) must be on same side of the wall. 6. Southern Pine allowable loads for H14: 1465 lbs. (133/160), 560 lbs. (F1 Lateral 133/160) and 285 lbs. (F2 Lateral 133/160). 7. Refer to technical bulletin T-HTIEBEARING for selected hurricane ties allowable bearing enhancement loads (see page 199 for details) . 8. 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). 9. H10S nails to plates are optional for uplift but required for lateral loads. 10.

Considerations for Hurricane Tie Selection

1. 2. 3. 4. 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?
Hurricane Tie Installations to Achieve Twice the Load (Top View)
Allowable simultaneous loads in more than one direction on a single connector must be evaluated as follows: 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. 7. Select hurricane tie based on performance, application, installed cost and ease of installation.
Install diagonally across from each other for minimum 2x truss.
Products can be on the same side of the wall provided they are configured as shown.
Nailing into both sides of a single ply 2x truss may cause the wood to split.

The hurricane tie series features various configurations of wind and seismic ties for trusses and rafters. The H16-2 series has a presloped seat of 5:12 for double trusses. The presloped seat of the H16 provides for a tight fit and reduced deflection. The strap length provides for various truss height up to a maximum of 13" (H16 series). Minimum heel height for H16 series is 4". The HGA10 attaches to gable trusses and provides good lateral wind resistance. The HS24 attaches the bottom chord of a truss or rafter at pitches from 0:12 to 4:12 to double 2x4 top plates. Double shear nailing allows for higher lateral resistance. MATERIAL: See table FINISH: Galvanized. See Corrosion Information, page 10-11. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. The HGA10KT: screws are provided. HS24 requires slant nailing only when bottom chord of truss or rafter has no slope. Hurricane Ties do not replace solid blocking. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

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: Snap a chalk line for the bottom of the ledger. Industry studies show Mark required on center spacing. that hardened Use ICFVL to mark kerfs locations. fasteners can experience Cut kerfs as marked. performance problems in wet environments. Insert ICFVL flush to the face of the ICF. Accordingly, use this Pour concrete. product in dry Wood Ledger Attachment ICFVL-W or -CW environments only. Slip appropriate ledger connector underneath the ledger. Install the eight ICF-D3 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 -14x", #3 drill point screws (not provided). All screws should be located at least " from the edge of the ICFVL. Space screws evenly. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

1. The Designer may specify different spacing based on the load requirements. 2. Spacings are based on perpendicular to grain capacity of bolt in wood ledger compared to tested value of ICFVL. 3. See flier F-ICFVL for additional connection details (see page 199 for details). 4. For steel ledgers, the 68 mil ledger spacing is closer than the 54 mil ledger because the calculated load of a bolt is higher in a thicker piece of steel. 5. Steel ledger values are based on steel.

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. TB requires two 10dx1" fasteners per end. LTB requires two 6d commons per end. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

Wall Bracing
Simpson Wall Bracing products offer effective options to resist racking during construction. Additionally the RCWB, CWB and WB/WBC can be used to fulfill the same code bracing requirements as a 1x4 let-in brace, but are cost effective and faster to install. Not designed to replace structural panel shearwall load-carrying component. The WBC (coiled WB) multiple product dispenser pack weighs less than 40 pounds, making storage and transportation easy. WB106C15 pieces per roll, WB126C12 pieces per roll, WB143C10 pieces per roll. The RCWB features a rolled edge (the TWB has two rolled edges) for extra strength and safety. MATERIAL: WB and WBC16 gauge; CWB18 gauge; TWB22 gauge; RCWB20 gauge FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. WB and WBC: Install in X pairs or in opposing V fashion. Use with 16" or 24" o.c. 2x4 (min.) studs. CWB, RCWB and TWB: Use with 16" o.c. studs. Use minimum of 2x4 studs with CWB and TWB. Use minimum of 2x6 studs with RCWB (2x4 min. for interior, non-bearing wall). Establish a run-line using the bracing as a straight edge. Single cut a saw kerf " deep (TWB), " deep (CWB) or 1" deep (RCWB) along the run line. If the wall is pre-framed on the floor, place the part into the saw kerf, and put one nail into the top plate. Tilt the wall up and plumb before nailing off top plate, bottom plate and studs according to the nailing schedule. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

CONCEALEDJOISTTIES
The CJT is a concealed connector. It can be installed three ways: with no routing of header/post or beam; a routed header/post, or a routed beam. MATERIAL: 12 gauge FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. The CJT Pack is supplied with all pins and screws required. Screws require a hex head driver. Router end of beam for screw heads for flush installation. The joist/beam may be sloped to 45 with full table loads. To provide maximum beam width for use with short pins, center in beam. To order: specify short or long pins (see footnote #1 below). OPTIONS: See Technical Bulletin T-CJT (see page 199 for details) . CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart. WARNING: This connector requires special attention to ensure correct installation. The beam must be installed perpendicular to the support member. The connections components may be damaged if the beam is rotated from its opposite end during or after installation. Damaged components may not be noticeable and may reduce the connectors load carrying capacity.

The PBV is a hidden standoff post base. Two different sizes fit a variety of posts shapes. MATERIAL: 14 gauge galvanized steel FINISH: Textured flat black powder-coated finish or galvanized ORDER: For powder coated finish, order PBV6PC or PBV10PC. For galvanized finish order PBV6 or PBV10. For kit containing SDS screws, RFB bolt, SET 1.7, 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 " diameter hole, 10" into the center of the post. Clean out dust. Fill hole halfway with Simpson SET epoxy. Insert all-thread rod and allow epoxy to set and cure. Secure standoff to post using four 10d nails except PBV which uses four SDS screws. Concrete: Drill a " diameter hole per anchor design (see footnote 2 below). Clean out dust. Fill hole halfway with Simpson SET epoxy. 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 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 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, except U/HU (NER-499). LOADS: For multiple options on the same connector, use the smallest reduction factor to give 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. INSTALLATION: Fastener quantities may be increased beyond the amount specified in the standard hanger table. Fill all holes with the table-specified fastener types. N54A fasteners are supplied with hangers. B, W and GLT hangers for sloped seat installations are assumed backed. To order a custom, non-backed hanger, contact factory. Bevel-cut the wood members end for skewed type A hangers; butt-cut wood members for skewed type B hangers.

See Hanger Options General Notes. INSTALLATION: Some models are available in Type A (Bevel Cut) and Type B (Butt Cut) styles; all models are available in Type B style. Check factory 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. Skewed HWs have face nails and require a minimum header depth of 3". HANGER HEIGHT For hanger heights exceeding the joist height by more than ", 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 :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. UPLIFT LOADS (limited options are available for uplift hangers check the Hanger Options Matrix) Hangers can be sloped to 45 and/or skewed 45 at 100% of the uplift load. Skew option is only on hangers with W 3 or less. For skews greater than 45 there is no uplift load. 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 (see open/closed top flange). 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. 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 be closed. W and WI hangers must use 10dx1Z\x" nails for closed application. Reduce allowable loads using straight-line interpolation. Example: For a top flange open 30, reduce load to [(90-30)/90] x table load. SADDLE HANGER To order, add D to model and specify S dimension (see illustration). 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.

1. Use this table to calculate allowable loads for modified hangers. Apply the reduction factor to the appropriate allowable load for the header condition, including nailers. Example: LBV with top flange sloped down right 30, reduce download to [(90-30)/90] x table load. 2. Hangers less than 2 Z\x" wide are assumed to use 10dx1Z\x" joist nails. Hangers 2 Z\x" and wider are assumed to use minimum 16dx2 Z\x" joist nails. Header nails remain as originally noted in allowable load tables. 3. Minimum height for TF Opened/Closed is 14" when combined with any skew. Minimum height for TF Opened/Closed combined with Slope Only is the same as listed for Slope only. 4. For HB hangers 2Z\x" and wider the Download reduction factor for Sloped Only or Skewed Only is 1.00 for nailer applications. 5. For HB hangers 2Z\x" and wider the Download reduction factor for Sloped & Skewed is 0.90 when the application is backed. 6. For HB hangers the Download reduction factor shall be 0.86 for angles less than 12 or (90-x)/90 for all other angles. 7. For LBV and B hangers the Sloped & Skewed Uplift reduction factor is 1.00 for hangers less than 22".

SLOPED AND/OR SKEWED SEAT GLT/GLTV/HGLT/HGLTV and GLS/HGLS series may be skewed to a maximum of 50 or sloped to a maximum of 45. For skews greater than 15, multiply the table uplift load by 0.50. For sloped only, the maximum allowable load is 6500 lbs. for the GLT/GLS/GLTV, 9165 lbs. for the HGLT/HGLS/HGLTV. For skewed only, the maximum allowable load is 6550 lbs. for the GLT/GLS/GLTV, 7,980 lbs. for the HGLT/HGLS/HGLTV. The deflection at full loading may reach ". Sloped and skewed GLT/GLS/GLTV configurations have a maximum allowable load of 5500 lbs. Sloped and skewed combinations are not allowed for the HGLT/HGLS/HGLTV. Sloped and/or skewed seat hangers may not be installed in non-backed nailer/header installations. SLOPED TOP FLANGE A top flange may be sloped down left or down right to 30 with or without a sloped and/or skewed seat (see illustration). Reduce allowable table loads using straight-line interpolation (see page 195). OFFSET TOP FLANGE The top flange may be offset left or right for placement at the end of a header. Minimum seat width 3". The maximum allowable load is 0.50 of the table roof load for the GLT/GLS/GLTV, and 0.45 for the HGLT/HGLS/HGLTV. For skewed and offset top flange hangers, the maximum allowable load is 3500 lbs. No uplift load.
