Refer to Figure (this page) for definitions of hanger nomenclature (W, H, B). Tabulated allowable load capacities must be selected based on duration of load as permitted by the applicable building code. HUS hangers provide torsional resistance, which is defined as a moment of not less than 7 pounds ( N) times the depth of the joist at which the lateral movement of the top or bottom of the joist with respect to its vertical position is 0. inch (. mm). The height, H, of the joist hanger must be at least 0 percent of the height of the joist. Joist nails must be driven at a -degree angle through the joist into the header/beam (double shear nailing) to achieve the tabulated loads. The allowable loads are based on the use of an engineered wood joist member with an allowable F c of 70 psi. When use is to support members having an F c of less than 70 psi, it must be verified that the combination of bearing capacity and joist nail capacity is adequate.
