CONNECTOR SELECTOR NOTES General Notes 1. See current Wood Construction Connectors catalog for Important Information and General Notes section and for hanger models, joist sizes, and support conditions not shown. See pages 10-11 of this guide for installation information. 2. Loads listed in tables address the attachment of the hanger to a solid support member. Loads listed under the Download heading cover Douglas Fir, Southern Pine, Microllam LVL, Parallam PSL and TimberStrand LSL. or beam reactions should be checked by a qualified designer to ensure proper hanger selection. 3. loads listed for single and double TJI s assume DF or equivalent density flanges and have been increased by 60% for earthquake and wind loading with no further increase allowed. Reduce loads according to code for normal duration loading such as cantilever construction. 4. The top flange of a TJI must be laterally supported to prevent rotation; see Prevent Rotation below. 5. For top flange hangers, configuration and thickness of hanger top flange need to be considered for flush framing conditions, see page 10. 6. For this publication, support members are assumed to be at least 5½" tall. The horizontal thickness of the support member must be at least the length of the nail being used and at least the length of the hanger top flange Exception: face mount hangers may be mounted on support members narrower than the nail length provided the nail penetration is at least 1¾ inches for 10d or 2 inches for d. 7. THAI hangers shown in the single and double TJI tables are based on the top flange installation and require that the carrying member have a horizontal thickness of at least 2½". THAI hangers are not rated for uplift. 8. All nails shown are common nails unless otherwise noted. d = 0.2" dia. x 3½" long 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long 10d x 1½ = 0.148" dia. x 1½" long TJI s When supporting one TJI from another, backer blocks must be used. acker blocks are to be made from plywood, OS, or dimension lumber. The thickness of a backer block should be the same thickness as the void in the side of the TJI and a minimum of 12" wide. Attach with 10-10d common nails clinched as necessary, prior to installing the hanger. For Top Flange hangers, install backer blocks tight to top flange. For Face Mount hangers, install backer blocks tight to bottom flange. Refer to Trus TJI literature for specific guidelines. Top Flange Hangers: Use 10dx1 1 2" nails for all Top Flange hangers attached to an TJI header. See table for allowable loads. Prevent Rotation Hangers provide some joist rotation reistance; however, additional lateral restraint may be required for deep joists. No. 11/4" flg. TJI Max. Load 13/8" flg. ITS 815 9 MIT 9 1,045 Face Mount Hangers: Nails that get less than 2 inches of penetration must be clinched on the back side. Double TJI headers must be attached together to act as a single unit. Top Flange ACKER LOCK EACH SIDE acker block nails not shown for clarity. 2 No Rotation Resistance Lack of web stiffeners combined with short hanger allows unwanted rotation. Rotation Prevented y Web Stiffeners If hanger height is less than 60% of the joist height, add clips or blkg near the top. Rotation Prevented y Web Stiffeners Hanger height should be at least 60% of the joist height. Rotation Prevented y Lateral Flange Support Sides of hanger laterally support the top flange of the I-joist. No web stiffeners required!
HOW TO PICK A HANGER Follow these simple steps to choose your hanger: (For TJI header, see page 2) 1 Find your joist type in this guide. (Single TJI, Double TJI, eam, etc.) 2 Locate your connector type in the table. Face mount, top flange, skewed, sloped or sloped and skewed. 3 Select a hanger from the table. 4 Confirm that your joist load is less than the hanger allowable load. 5 For structural composite lumber, check to see if the bearing length dim. meets the bearing length requirement of the supported member. If yes, you have successfully selected your hanger. If you did not find a suitable hanger; Please see the current Wood Construction Connectors catalog or call Simpson Strong-Tie at (800) 999-5099.

GENERAL CONNECTOR INSTALLATION Top Flange Hangers Flush Framing Top flange configuration and thickness of top flange need to be considered for flush frame conditions. Hanger Over-Spread If the hanger is over-spread, it can raise the TJI 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. Wood Nailers Correct Attachment Nailer Too Wide The loading may cause cross-grain bending. As a general rule, the maximum allowable overhang is 1 4", depending on nailer thickness. Nailer Too Narrow Nailer should be full width. Nailer Too Thin and the wrong hanger for a nailer application. Nail Hole Shapes Round Holes All holes must be filled except for the THAI adjustable height hanger. Refer to load tables for THAI nail quantities. Toe Nailed Toe nailing causes squeaks and improper hanger installations. Do not toe nail TJI prior to installing either top flange or face mount hangers. Triangle Holes Provided on some products in addition to round holes. Round and triangle holes must be filled to achieve the published maximum load value. Double Shear Nailing Diamond Holes Optional holes to temporarily secure connectors to the member during installation. The nail is installed into joist and header, distributing load through two points on each nail for greater strength. THAI Minimum Nailing Do not nail within 1 4" of multiple ply seam. Obround Holes Used to provide easier nailing access in tight locations. All holes must be filled except for the LSSU hanger when skewed. Refer to load tables for LSSU nail quantities.

VPA s are not appropriate for applications that require more than 2" of bearing, such as intermediate supports. VPA VPA gauge This variable pitch connector allows a sloped beam to sit on a top plate without having to notch, birdmouth, bevel, or toe nail. It also provides uplift capacity. Adjustable from 3:12 to 12:12 pitch.
. GENERAL CONNECTOR INSTALLATION SDW Strong-Drive Structural Wood Screws INSTALLATION SDW screws install best with a low-speed 1 2" drill and a T-40 6-lobe bit. The matched bit included with the screws is recommended for best results. Screw heads that are countersunk flush to the wood surface are acceptable if the screw has not spun out. Individual screw locations may be adjusted up to 3" to avoid conflicts with other hardware or to avoid lumber defects. Predrilling is typically not required. ³ ₄" 0.22".

Each ply is assumed to carry same proportion of load. 2. Loads may be applied to the head side and point side concurrently provided neither published allowable load is exceeded. (Example: a 3-ply assembly with a head side load of 1,300 plf and point side load of 1,000 plf may be fastened together with 3 rows of SDW @ " o.c.) 3. When hangers are installed on point side, hanger face fasteners must be a minimum of 3" long. 4. This table assumes an equivalent Specific Gravity of 0.50 or higher. 5. Loads in this table are based on the overall capacity of the Simpson Strong-Tie SD fasteners. The capacity of the multi-ply assembly must be checked by a qualified Designer.
