2 General Notes Follow these instructions to ensure the proper installation products. See current Product Catalog for General Notes, Warranty, and installation information for hanger models, joist sizes, and header situations not shown. Loads listed address hanger/header/fastener limitations as well as joist/hanger limitations assuming header material is Douglas Fir (DF) or LVL. For S-P-F header material, refer to the current catalog. reaction should be checked by a qualified designer to ensure proper hanger selection. Uplift loads have been increased % for wind or seismic loads and no further increase shall be permitted. Reduce loads according to code for normal duration loading such as cantilever construction. If hanger height is less than 0% joist height, joist rotation may occur, therefore supplemental lateral restraints are required, see page. The type and quantity fasteners used to install products is critical to connector performance. To achieve the factored resistances shown in this document, install with the fasteners specified for that particular product. All specified fasteners must be properly installed prior to applying load any kind to the connection. Throughout this document, dimensions are expressed in inches and loads in pounds, unless specifically noted otherwise. Load values for d and designations in the fastener schedules throughout this document refer to common wire nails, unless noted otherwise. The factored resistances shown in this document are based on Limit States Design methodology. Multiple Plies: Fasten together multiple plies wood joists, in accordance with the manufacturer s installation guidelines, such that the joists act as a single unit. Sloped s: Use slope seat hangers and beveled web stiffeners whenever the slope exceeds the following: ½:12 for seat bearing lengths 2½" or less; :12 for bearing lengths between 2½" and ½"; and ¼:12 for bearing lengths in excess ½". Backer Blocks Pattern the nails used to install backer blocks or web stiffeners in wood s to avoid splitting the block. The nail pattern should be sufficiently spaced to avoid the same grain line, particularly with solid sawn backer blocks. Backer blocks must be installed on wood s acting as the header, or supporting member. Install in accordance with the I- manufacturer s installation guidelines. The nails used to install hangers mounted to a header must penetrate through the web and into the backer block on the opposite side. Web Stiffener Attachment Web Stiffeners are optional except as noted below: Web stiffeners required at bearing locations for 1" & 2" deep joists. Web stiffeners are always required in hangers that do not extend up to support the top flange the LPI. Web stiffeners may be required with certain sloped or skewed hangers or to achieve uplift values. Refer to 's installation requirements. Backer Block Installation: (minimum 12" wide) Nail with () d nails (use d nails for flanges wider than 2-1/2") Filler Block Installation: Nail with d nails (d for flanges wider than 2-1/2") spaced " oc per row.

3 EWP Installation Support Height & Lateral Stability Hangers for joists without web stiffeners must support the I-joist s top flange and provide lateral resistance with no less than 1 " contact. 1/" (.175 mm) maximum gap Resist lateral movement Hangers for joists with web stiffeners must support a minimum 0% joist depth or potential joist rotation must addressed. Web stiffener 0% min. joist depth depth (Top flange support requirements can be verified in EWP Top Mount Hangers charts under the Web Stiffener Req. column s Product Catalog.) Nailer Installations Correct Hanger Attachment to Nailer A nailer or sill plate is considered to be any wood member attached to a steel beam, concrete block wall, concrete stem wall, or other type support unsuitable for nailing which is used as a nailing surface for top mo unt hangers to hold beams or joists. Nailer Sized Correctly Top flange hanger is fully supported and recommended nails have full penetration into nailer, resulting in a carried member hanging safely at the proper height. 1/" (.5 mm) max The nailer must be sized to fit the support width as shown and be sufficient thickness to satisfy recommended top flange nailing requirements. A design pressional must specify nailer attachment to steel beams. Avoid direct contact between hangers and steel beams which may cause squeaks Wrong Nailer Size Causes Component Failure 1/" (.5 mm) max! Too Narrow Top flange not fully supported can cause nail breakout. Or, by fully supporting top flange, hanger is tilted back, causing lifting carried member which results in uneven surfaces and squeaky floors.! Too Wide Loading can cause cross grain breaking nailer. The recommended nailer overhang is 1/" (.5mm) maximum per side.! Too Thin Top flange nailing cannot fully penetrate nailer, causing reduced factored resistance. Never use hangers which require multiple face nails with a nailer or sill plate since the factored resistance are dependent on all nail holes being used. Top Flange Hangers The thickness the hanger metal and nail heads on top mount hangers must be evaluated for the effect on subsequent sheathing. Ensure the top mount hanger is installed so the flanges the hanger are not over-spread which tends to elevate the supported I-, causing uneven floor surfaces and squeaking. Similarly, ensure the hanger is installed plumb such that the face flanges the hanger are mounted firmly against the wide-face surface the header. Flush framing! Hanger over-spread!

Installation: Use all specified fasteners. Position connector on top plate. Fasten connector to outside top plate with specified nails. Insert rafter into rafter pocket. Adjust rafter and pocket to correct pitch. Fasten rafter to connector with specified nails. For TMP: drive specified nails through the opposing slots in the pocket. For TMPH: slide the fulcrum until it supports the pocket at the desired pitch and drive nails down through the fulcrum base into the top plate to lock the fulcrum into position.

The washer head should be flat to the surface and the serrations will oppose turning and release the clutch. Do not over-tighten the screws. For 2 ply members, wood screws shall be installed with the screw heads in the loaded ply. For or ply members, wood screws shall be installed in both outer plies. Designer shall specify all wood screw locations. Increase edge and end distances if wood splitting occurs. Stagger all screws installed into the opposite face. A minimum 2 rows screws shall be used for all members 5-1/2" and deeper. /" Name Screw length L SH T Recommended Row Guidelines 1-1/2" min. 1" min. recommended (Typ) " min. end member WS 2-1/2" min.
