General Notes Follow these instructions to ensure the proper installation of 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-Larch (DF-L), Southern Pine (SP), or LVL. reaction should be checked by a qualified designer to ensure proper hanger selection. Uplift loads have been increased 60% 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 Plated is less Truss than 60% of joist height, joist rotation may occur; therefore supplemental lateral restraints are required, see page 3. The type and quantity of fasteners used to install products is critical to connector performance. To achieve the allowable loads shown in this catalog, install with the fasteners specified for that particular product. All specified fasteners must be properly installed prior to applying load of any kind to the connection. Throughout this guide, dimensions are expressed in inches and loads in pounds, unless specifically noted otherwise. Load values for 10d and 16d designations in the fastener schedules throughout this catalog refer to common wire nails, unless noted otherwise. The allowable loads shown in this catalog are based on Allowable Stress Design methodology (U.S. only). Multiple Plies: Fasten together multiple plies of wood I- s, in accordance with International Beam s installation guidelines, such that the joists act as a single unit. Sloped Filler s: & Backer Use hangers Block Sizes with sloped seats and beveled web stiffeners whenever the slope exceeds the following: 1 2:12 for seat bearing lengths of 2-1 2 or less; 3 8:12 for bearing lengths between 2-1 2 and 3-1 2 ; and 1 4:12 for bearing lengths in excess of 3-1 2. 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 I-J oist header must penetrate through the web and into the backer block on the opposite side. Filler Block Installation: Nail filler blocks per IB design manual Backer Block Installation: Install tight to top flange (tight to bottom flange with face mount hangers). Attach with twelve 10d (3 ) common nails, clinched when possible. Typical THO backer block installation Gap 1/4 Gap 1/8 Backer Block (both sides) of web with single IB.

EWP Installation Support Height & Lateral Stability Hangers for joists without web stiffeners must support the I- s top flange and provide lateral resistance with no less than 1 8 contact. Hangers for joists with web stiffeners must support a minimum of 60% of joist depth, or potential joist rotation must be addressed. 1/8 maximum gap Resist lateral movement Web stiffener depth 60% min. of joist depth (Top flange support requirements can be verified in EWP Top Mount Hangers charts under the Web Stiffener Req. column of 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 of structure unsuitable for nailing, which is used as a nailing surface for top mount hangers to hold beams or joists. Nailer Sized Correctly Top flange of hanger is fully supported and recommended nails have full penetration into nailer, resulting in a carried member hanging safely at the proper height. The nailer must be sized to fit the support width as shown and be of sufficient thickness to satisfy recommended top flange nailing requirements. A design professional must specify nailer attachment to steel beams. Wrong Nailer Size Causes Component Failure Avoid direct contact between hangers and steel beams, which may cause squeaks 1/4 Max. Correct Attachment 1/4 Max.! Too Narrow Top flange not fully supported can cause nail breakout. Or, by fully supporting top flange, hanger is tilted back, causing lifting of carried member which results in uneven surfaces and squeaky floors.! Too Wide! Too Thin Loading can cause cross grain breaking of nailer. The recommended nailer overhang is 1 4 maximum per side. Top flange nailing cannot fully penetrate nailer, causing reduced allowable loads. Never use hangers which require multiple face nails since the allowable loads are dependent on all nail holes being used. Top Flange Hangers The thickness of 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 of 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 of the hanger are mounted firmly against the wide-face surface of the header. Flush framing! Hanger over-spread!

Installation: Use all specified fasteners. Steps: 1. Position LSSH connector against plumb-cut end of joist. Fasten joist side flanges on both sides with 10d (0.148 ) x 1-1/2 nails. Bend seat up to fit against joist bottom and drive (1) 10d (0.148 ) x 1-1/2 nail through bottom seat into rafter bottom. Drive (2) 10d (0.148 ) x 1-1/2 nails at downward angle through dimpled nailing guides. 2. Lean connector and rafter end against ridge beam at desired position. Install 10d (0.148 dia. x 3 long) or 16d (0.162 dia. x 3-1/2 long) nails through nail holes into ridge beam at right 90 angle. If skewing the rafter, only drive nails into ridge beam on inside flange. 3. Bend flange to desired angle. 4. Hammer outside flange until edge touches header. Fasten outside flange to ridge by driving 10d (0.148 dia. x 3 long) or 16d (0.162 dia. x 3-1/2 long) nails through nail holes. Web stiffeners are required for all wood I- installations.

General Installation WS Series Wood Screw Applications - Joining 2, 3, or 4 Ply LVL Members or Parallam PSL Members Installation: Screws are self-drilling. Install using a low speed clutch drill with 3/8 hex head driver. 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 screwheads in the loaded ply. For 3 or 4 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 of 2 rows of screws shall be used for all members with H=5-1/2 and larger. Recommended Row Guidelines H 1 1 /2 min 2 1 /2 min 2 1 /2 min 1 1 /2 min name 3/8 1 min.

The capacity of the LVL or PSL beam may be less and should be checked by a qualified designer or with the manufacturer s literature. 4 Maximum Allowable Uniform Loads that can be applied to either outside member (Lbs.
