NAILING IDENTIFICATION

Dome Nailing

Double Shear Nailing

This feature guides the nail into the joist and header at a 45° angle.

The nail is installed into the joist and header, distributing the load through two points on each joist nail for greater strength.

U.S. Patent 5,603,580

Hexagonal Holes For use with SDS Screws.

Positive Angle Nailing (PAN) Provided when wood splitting may occur, and to speed installation.

Speed Prongs

IUS Snap Detail

ITT Tab Nailing

Used to temporarily position and secure the connector for easier and faster installation.

The "Snap-In" teardrops and Strong-Grips allow the I-joist to "snap" in securely without the need for joist nails.

The nail is hammered in at an angle to prevent the wood from splitting.

Obround Holes

Diamond Holes

Triangle Holes

Used to provide easier nailing access in tight locations. Fasteners may be installed at an angle.

Optional holes to temporarily secure connectors to the member during installation.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION GENERAL NOTES This catalogue reflects changes in the allowable loads and configurations of some Simpson Strong-Tie® products. This catalogue is effective until 31st December 2006 and supercedes all information in earlier publications of products shown. Information on safe working loads and configurations is updated periodically. After 31st December 2006, contact Simpson Strong-Tie® for the most current product information.Allowable loads in the catalogue are for the described specific applications of properly-installed products. Product modifications, improper loading or installation procedures, or deviations from recommended applications will affect connector allowable load-carrying capacities. These notes are provided to ensure proper installation of Simpson Strong-Tie® products and must be followed fully. a. Simpson Strong-Tie® reserves the right to change specifications, designs, and models without notice. b. Steel used for each Simpson Strong-Tie® product is individually selected based on the product’s steel specifications, including strength, thickness, formability, finish, and weldability. Contact factory for steel information on specific products. c. Unless otherwise noted, dimensions are in millimeters (mm) and loads are downloads in kilo Newtons (kN). d. Unless otherwise noted, allowable loads are for use with C16 (SC3) timber. Products assessed in the USA were evaluated with Spruce-Pine-Fir timber. e. Unless otherwise noted, bending steel on site may cause fractures at the bend line. Fractured steel will not carry the load and must be replaced. Products designed for bending at time of installation should only be bent once. f. A fastener that splits timber will not take the design load. Evaluate splits to determine if the connection will perform as required. Dry wood may split more easily and should be evaluated as required. If wood tends to split, consider pre-boring holes with diameters not exceeding 75% of the nail diameter. g. Timber shrinks and expands as it loses and gains moisture, particularly perpendicular to grain.

h. Take wood shrinkage into account when designing and installing connections. Simpson manufactures products to fit common dry timber dimensions. If you require a connector with dimensions other than those listed, Simpson may be able to vary connector dimensions; contact the factory. i. Top flange hangers may cause unevenness. Possible remedies should be evaluated by a professional and include using a face-fixing hanger or removing material to accommodate the top flange thickness. j. Multiple member timbers must be fastened together to act as one unit to resist the applied load. k. Do Not Overload. Do not exceed the safe working load (SWL) which would jeopardise the connection. l. Some model configurations may differ from illustrations shown. Contact factory for details. m. Fill all fastener holes with fastener types specified in the tables, unless otherwise noted. When nailing options are noted, the fasteners must be the correct type and location to obtain full loading. n. Hanger options—some combinations of hanger options have not been evaluated. In some cases, combinations of these options may not be installable. Horizontal loads induced by sloped joists must be resisted by other members in the structural system. A qualified designer must always evaluate each connection, including the carried and carrying member limitations, before specifying the product. o. All references to bolts are for structural quality through bolts. Bolts to conform to BS EN 20898-1 and washers to BS4320.

INSTRUCTIONS TO THE INSTALLER a. All specified fasteners must be installed according to the instructions for each connector. Incorrect fastener quantity, size, type, material, or finish may cause the connection to fail. b. Install all specified fasteners before loading the connection. c. Pneumatic or power-actuated fasteners may deflect and injure the operator or others. Nail guns may be used to install connectors, provided the correct number and type of nails are properly installed in the holes provided. d. Guns with hole locators should be used. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use the appropriate safety equipment.

e. Masonry supported connectors must be embedded into correct strength mortar per British Standard. f. Hangers into masonry walls must have the minimum specified height of masonry above the hanger, with the mortar fully cured, before load is applied. Top flange masonry hangers will not carry the design load without specified masonry above the top flange of the hanger. g. Protruding nails should always be clinched to avoid injury.

Standards; BOCA, Building Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc.; and others. In these cases Safe Working Loads (SWL’s) are determined with the use of data obtained through product load testing to destruction (except for straight straps). The SWL is limited by the breaking strength divided by 3 or the load at which the carried member reaches 3mm deflection with respect to the carrying member. f. Wood shear is not considered in the loads given; reduce allowable loads when wood shear is limiting. g. Simpson Strong-Tie® strongly recommends the following addition to construction drawings and specifications: Substitutions for Simpson Strong-Tie® products must be pre-approved in writing by the designer’. h. Verify that the dimensions of the supporting members are sufficient to receive the specified fasteners. i. Some catalogue illustrations show connections that could cause cross grain tension or bending of timber if not sufficiently reinforced. In this case, mechanical reinforcement should be considered.

CORROSION RESISTANCE Connectors are steel and will corrode and lose load-carrying capacity if exposed to ocean salt air, corrosive fire-retardant chemicals, fertilizers, or other substances that adversely affect steel. In corrosive environments, especially for connectors that are not exposed to rain or periodic washing, deterioration will occur at a faster rate. The service life of galvanized connectors in a temperate marine environment can be greatly 6

improved by homeowner maintenance. Fasteners of comparable material should be used to install the product. Pressure-preservative treated and fire-retardant wood can be caustic to zinc coated (or galvanised) steel. Galvanised connectors should not be placed in contact with treated wood that has not been properly air-seasoned or properly kiln dried. See material supplier for specific recommendations.

Catalogue C-UK05 © Copyright 2004 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE CO., INC.

INSTRUCTIONS TO THE DESIGNER a. The Safe Working Loads (SWL) shown in the Simpson Strong-Tie® publications for the United Kingdom are derived from tests, calculations and assessments performed in the UK and the USA. b. The Safe Working Loads for timber-to-timber hangers showing the BM TRADA Certification Q-Mark are based on testing and analysis carried out by TRADA Technology Ltd. (TTL). This work was conducted using the methods and criteria developed by TTL under a joint Government/Industry sponsored research project intended to develop a British Standard method of characterising the performance of timber-to-timber hangers. c. SAFE WORKING LOADS (SWL) are presented for use in permissible stress design in accordance with BS 5268: Part 2: 2002 for Service Classes 1 and 2. d. Loads from Germany were in accordance to DIN design criteria and test assessment required for Zulassung certification by the Institute für Bautechnique. e. Some products in this catalogue are designed, tested and evaluated in accordance with U.S. industry standards including: 1997 National Design


HANGER OPTIONS This information applies only to hangers manufactured by Simpson StrongTie and installed as per our installation instructions. Some combinations of these options on a single hanger have not been evaluated. In some cases, combinations of these options may not be installable. A qualified engineer must always evaluate each connection, including header and joist limitations, before specifying the product.

FINISH: See specific hanger tables. WM specials are hot dip galvanised after manufacture. All other welded hangers can be supplied with a galvanised or powder coated finish.

Testing is performed using a standardised hanger test method. The joist in the test set up may include a certain amount of structural stability. 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.

TO ORDER: Use the abbreviations below to order specials. The example shows a WPU200/45 hanger and illustrates most available options: most special hangers have only a few of these features.

MATERIAL: Material thickness may vary from that specified for standard hangers configurations, depending on the manufacturing process. Generally welded hangers have one-piece stirrups; occasionally it may be necessary to create a welded stirrup from two or three pieces. Hanger configurations, height and fastener schedules may vary from the table depending on the joist size, skew and slope.

INSTALLATION: Fastener quantities may be increased beyond the amount specified in the standard hanger table. Fill all holes with the table specified fastener type.

1. Strong-Drive screw capacities are based on single shear with a 25mm pointside penetration. 2. All capcacities are in Newton’s (N) and assume a perpendicular to grain loading. 3. 6.15mm smooth shank diameter. 4. Testing and assessment has been carried out by TRADA Technology Limited. 5. SCL refers to Structural Composite Lumber such as LVL, PSL etc. with an assumed density of 500 kg/cum.

WARNING: Industry studies show that hardened fasteners can experience performance problems in wet enviroments. Accordingly, use SD8 in dry, interior applications only.

The Simpson Strong-Tie screw has a needle point with cutter drive that ensures fast starts; a double threaded shank reduces installation time and cost; a deep Phillips drive that reduces stripping and a wafer head with a low profile finish. 2,3

SAFETY FAST MASONRY RESTRAINT HANGERS

See tables on pages 11 – 12. The Safety Fast Hangers are an innovative range of hangers that have been designed to support timber joists, beams and trussed rafters from masonry walls without the need of supporting masonry above the top flange. • • • • •

SFH

Requires no masonry above the top flange to achieve the published Safe Working Loads. Improved vertical and lateral load distribution. MiniStrap simply hooks onto hanger. Enables the construction of the floor deck prior to the next lift of masonry. Reduces Health & Safety risks associated with the use of the traditional masonry hangers with no masonry above.

PATENT NOS. GB2316103, GB2354267 GB2390380 PATENT PENDING 0329952.6

• Eliminates the need for propping. • MiniStrap provides lateral restraint capacity in accordance with CERAM, NHBC and Zurich guidelines. • Allows for retrofit of lateral restraint straps.

Typical SFHI Installation

• Web stiffeners are not required with I-joist to achieve the table loads. MATERIAL: SFH and SFHI—2.5mm pre-galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+Z600 SFWH and SFWHI—2.5mm mild steel MiniStrap—1.0mm pre-galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+Z275 FINISH: SFWH: Hot-dip galvanised INSTALLATION: • Use all specified nails. • Build masonry to required level, ensuring any coursing bricks or blocks are at least one course below the supporting block, and leave to cure. • Place the Safety Fast Restraint Hanger over the inner leaf of blockwork, ensuring the bearing plate is fully located onto the top of the masonry, sitting tight against the front face and top of the blockwork. • Sit the floor joists into the masonry hanger, and ensure all joist nails are correctly installed. The joists should be tight into the back of the hanger where possible. The maximum gap between the back of the hanger and the end of the joist is 6mm. • Clip the Safety Fast MiniStrap onto the restraining hooks on the side of the hanger and nail to the side face of the joist with 3 No. 3.75x30mm square twist nails. INSTALL ONLY 1 PER HANGER.

SFWH

GENERAL INSTALLATION NOTES • The floor decking may be stored on the joists provided the load is uniformly distributed between several joists and does not exceed the hanger or joist SWL’s. Refer to joist manufacturer, or supplier, for joist capacity and maximum construction loads. • The floor decking must be securely attached to each joist before additional loads can be placed on the system. • NB. Floor decking and blockwork is to be cut where necessary to fit around the upstand stiffeners. • Pallets of blocks, or other construction materials, should be placed on to the scaffolding and NOT directly onto the floor. MiniStrap The materials can then be evenly distributed around the floor manually, ensuring hanger or joist SWL’s are not exceeded.

SFJC

Masonry Hangers

The SFJC is an innovative and unique product which enables a safe, practical and robust solution that satisfies the requirements of Approved Document L of the Building Regulations.

SAFETY FAST JOIST CAP

SFJC

The SFJC is designed to be used where timber joists are built into a masonry external wall and eliminates the air leakage problems associated with shrinkage of timber joists. • SFJC305/50 and SFJC305/100 models accommodate a large range of joist types and sizes. • SFJC225/50 specifically designed for 50mm solid sawn joists up to 225mm deep. • Air leakage around the joist end is eliminated. • Wide face flanges provide an air tight seal.

CERTIFICATE No 04/4170

SFJC225/50

• Cut out sections for lateral restraint straps. MATERIAL: Black Polypropylene. INSTALLATION: The SFJC does not provide any lateral stability to the joists during construction phase. It is therefore necessary to install temporary bracing in accordance with the joist manufacturers instructions and/or standard construction practice to ensure temporary stability of the floor joists.

PATENT PENDING 0310590.5

• Place floor joist onto wall and adjust to ensure correct bearing at each end. • Lift the floor joist and install SFJC over the end of the joist, ensuring the SFJC face flanges are tight against the inner face on the masonry wall. SFJC225/50: SOLID SAWN JOISTS • Solid sawn joists up to 50mm wide and 225mm high can be installed directly into the SFJC225/50. • Nail the floor joist to the SFJC using 4 No 3.75 x 30mm square twist nails through the holes located in the side flanges.

Typical SFJC305/50 Installation

SFJC305/50: SOLID SAWN AND I-JOISTS • Solid sawn joists up to 50mm wide and 300mm high can be installed directly into the SFJC305/50. For narrower joist widths use the wedge cut outs to pack the joist. • For I-joist application use the SFJC wedges to centralise the I-joist into the SFJC. Tap the wedges in to secure the joist into SFJC. Partly drive a 3.75 x 30mm square twist nail into the bottom chord of the joist in front of the wedge to secure them in place.

Typical SFJC225/50 Installation

Catalogue C-UK05 © Copyright 2004 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE CO., INC.

SFJC305/100: SOLID SAWN AND I-JOISTS • For use with single or double I-joists, or solid sawn joists, up to 100mm wide and 300mm deep. • Steel joist plates slide into the slots within the SFJC and are fixed to the top and bottom of the floor joists. Nail in place with 2 No 3.75 x 30mm square twist nails per plate. • Install horizontal restraint straps at maximum 2m centres and nail to the timber joists with 8 No 3.75 x 30mm square twist nails. • Build up masonry between SFJC and continue with wall construction. • Ensure all joints between the masonry and SFJC are fully filled with mortar. With the SFJC305/50 check the tightness of the wedges once wall construction is completed. If necessary hammer wedges in tight and adjust retaining nail. • If considered necessary, fill the void around the joist with mineral wool or expanding foam.

MASONRY SUPPORTED JOIST HANGERS

See tables on pages 15 – 19. • JHMs and HJHMs are one piece non-welded joist hangers for supporting timber joists, beams, and trussed rafters from masonry walls. • JHM and JHMI Manufactured under BM TRADA Q-Mark Certification scheme. • JHM and JHMI have built-in inspection slot at the base of the hanger to aid inspection from the ground. • HJHM: Heavy duty masonry hanger for higher load carrying capacity. • Top flange provides widest area in contact with masonry support allowing superior performance. Embossments on JHM stiffen top flange and holes allow improved mortar keying. • JHM side flange on deeper hangers is much higher than traditional style providing greatly enhanced resistance to joist rotation. • Actual hanger heights are adjusted to industry standards. Timber joist hanger heights 150 and greater will be 10 mm shorter than joist height unless specified full height. Composite wood hanger heights are actual heights. See table. • WHM and WHMI hangers have added flexibility for special sizes and configurations. Contact factory for options.

MATERIAL: JHM and JHMI—2.5mm pre-galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+Z600; HJHM and HJHMI—3.0mm pre-galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+Z600; WHM and WHMI—3.0mm mild steel. FINISH: WHM and WHMI: Hot-dip galvanised. INSTALLATION: • Use all specified fasteners. See general notes. • Set hanger back flange tight against block wall when built to desired level, then continue with additional courses to complete wall height. Joist should be tight into back of hanger when possible. Maximum gap permitted is 6mm. • Minimum 3 courses of solid block (675mm masonry) required above hanger with mortar fully cured before applying load. • JHMI hangers have two PAN (see MIT hanger) or obround nail holes located so that nails can be driven at an angle into the lower chord of an I-joist. Web stiffeners are not required with I-joists to achieve the table loads. Web stiffeners may be required by the I-Joist manufacturer. • Do not stack blocks or other heavy loads on the joists during construction unless the joists have additional support to take the full load of the blocks vertically and horizontally. • The JHM and JHMI range of joist hangers can be fixed to steel beams by means of powder actuated fasteners. • The shot-fired pins must be installed by a qualified person in accordance with the manufacturer's installation requirements. OPTIONS: • Return configuration provides additional support by wrapping around three sides of the block. Designate “return” and length of return dimension when ordering. • RETURN HANGERS DO NOT SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS FOR LATERAL RESTRAINT TYPE HANGERS. • Straddle configuration provides 2 hangers connected across top of support enabling exact alignment on both sides of supporting wall. Designate “straddle” and length of straddle dimension when ordering. • JHM and JHMI can be shot-fired to steel. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie for details. • WHM and WHMI hangers can be sloped or skewed up to a maximum of 45°. • Other widths and heights available to order. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie for details.

1. The above Safe Working Loads are based upon product tests using 4 No Hilti 12mm X-EDNI steel pins fired through the holes provided in the top flange of the hangers onto 4mm thick steel plate. Other pins may be used provided similar structural performance is verified by the pin manufacturer. 2. Pin head size must be sufficient to prevent pull through during loading. 3. The designer must ensure that the steel support member will support the imposed loads. 4. Install shot fired pins in accordance with manufacturers instructions.

HJHMI HANGERS FOR COMPOSITE WOOD SIZES

MASONRY SUPPORTED JOIST HANGERS


JOIST HANGER WITH ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT STRAP

See table on page 21. • JHA’s are a one piece, non-welded, joist hanger for supporting timber joists from timber members. • Manufactured under the BM TRADA Q-Mark Certification Scheme. • A galvanised joist hanger that provides greater joist support combined with ease of installation that can be adjusted to suit height of joist. • Simpson’s exclusive double shear nailing feature guides nails into joist at a 45° angle. 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 and faster installation. • This provides easier nail driving as the installer doesn’t need to swing the hammer sideways. The nail is supported at the side of the hanger and at the header which generates higher load capacities. • Wider strap provides more surface area on the supporting timber and allows increased nail spacing, enhancing the performance of the critical hanger-to-support part of the connection. • Minimum and maximum nailing schedules are stamped into the strap of most models providing correct installation information for site operatives. • Speed-prong holds the hanger in position to allow easier attachment. The installer no longer has to try to hold hanger, joist and nail with one hand and swing a hammer with the other! • The model number and size is stamped into the seat of most models for easy identification of the hanger, even after installation.

JHA270 Speed Prongs Used to temporarily position and secure the hanger for easier and faster installation.

Double Shear Nailing

MATERIAL: JHA270—0.9mm pre-galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+Z275; JHA450—1.5mm pre-galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+Z275. INSTALLATION: Three different installation methods are available depending on the availability of nailing surface. Maximum nailing—All nails must be applied according to the table. The nails used for the joist attachment must be driven at an angle so that the nails penetrate through the corner of the joist into the header. Minimum nailing—For a lower installed cost the minimum nailing schedule can be used when the maximum nailing load capacity is not needed. The nails used for the joist attachment must be driven at an angle so that the nails penetrate through the corner of the joist into the header. A minimum wrap over of 55 mm is required. Loft conversions—for applications where the hanger extends below the support. Install top, face, and joist nails according to the table. A minimum wrap over of 55 mm is required.

Double Shear Nailing

OPTIONS: Because these hangers are fully die-formed they cannot be modified.

These hangers are based upon Composite Wood style SAE hangers and contain round and triangular nail holes only. ie. No Bolt Holes. SWL’s are based upon a maximum nailing schedule—all round and triangular holes filled. Skews right or left up to 67.5° and slopes up or down up to 45°. For combined skew and sloped hangers the maximum SWL is 80% of the stated medium term loads. Enables hangers to be manufactured for any combination of widths and heights listed for a model number. To order specify model number, width, height, skew and/or slope.eg SAE380/63 Skewed Right at 15° becomes SAE380X, W = 63, H = 159, SKR = 15° (for no skewed/sloped options please specify skew = 0° & slope = 0°). 7.

CONCEALED BEAM HANGERS

• The strength of a steel load-rated connection combines with the natural beauty of wood in the TU concealed beam hanger. • Provides an aesthetically attractive connection for exposed beams.

TU20 (other sizes similar) U.S. Patent 5,062,733

INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. • Pins aligned across the grain may cause splitting if the wood shrinks excessively. Use only in glulam, composite timber (PSL, LSL) or well dried timber. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table. • Attach to the carrying beam with 5.0 x 40mm screws—supplied. • Specify dowel length and TU size to fit the application. • Preparation of carried beam is best done offsite with specialised cutting and boring tools. Holes in beam should be same diameter as dowel to ensure tight fit. • Centre the TU within height of carried beam. • Centre pins within the width of the carried member • For a sloped installation the TU hanger remains as standard and the timber is cut and angled to suit the slope. OPTIONS: Contact Simpson Strong-Tie for details of special installation tools. • The standard installation will leave a 5mm gap between carried and supporting beams. Pocket installation gives a fully concealed connection. See specific installations for further detail. • Skewed installation up to 60°. Sloped installation maximum 45°. • Options: Skewed TU available. To be factory ordered.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR COMPLETELY CONCEALED CONNECTOR

POCKET INSTALLATION

Timber Hangers

Attach Connector to Header • Position the connector at the pre determined height and screw the connector to the header or post. • Fill all holes with screws supplied.

Prepare the Beam • Cut the beam to the length specified. • Cut a slot into the end of the beam. Slot width for TU12 is 6mm and 9mm for all others. • Cut the slot 3mm deeper than the TU and short of the beam height. This allows the connector to be hidden from below. • Rout a pocket into the beam end. The pocket should be 6mm deep. Enough to hide the thickness of the TU and the screw heads. This eliminates the gap between the beam & header (see Pocket Installation Illustration). Drill Beam Dowel Holes • Position drill guide to provide the proper dowel end distance & height. Clamp in place (Drill guide available from Simpson Strong-Tie). • Drill the dowels to the required diameter. Dowel hole diameter for the TU12 is 8mm and 12mm for all others. Install Beams • Install top dowel into the carried beam first. Slip beam into place and install the remaining dowels working from the top downwards. • To hide exposed dowel holes when the installation is complete, glue and plug the holes.

I-JOIST & STRUCTURAL COMPOSITE TIMBER TOP FLANGE HANGERS

See table on page 31. • ITT and MIT hangers are a one-piece, non-welded joist hanger for supporting I-joists and structural composite timber from timber members. • Value-engineered for maximum performance. The offset seat feature allows better joist bearing positioning. Joist top flanges are laterally restrained by the side of the hanger, eliminating the need for web stiffeners. I-joist manufacturers may require web stiffeners. • Bend Tab Nailing—Nail the ITT’s special bend-tab with 3.75x30 nails vertically into the bottom flange of the I-joist when web stiffeners are not used. The bend tab can also be nailed directly into the web stiffener. This constricts the I-joist, helping to reduce squeaks resulting from joist movement. • Reduced embossing on the ITT’s top flange, and the hanger height sized less than the joist height allow easier fitting for smooth floor alignment. The funnel flange assists easy and fast installation. • Patented Positive Angle Nailing—This feature is specifically designed for wood web I-joists when used with the MIT. • With Positive Angle Nailing (PAN), the slotted hole material is not removed, but issued to channel and confine the path of the nail to the optimum angle. PAN minimises splitting of the flanges while permitting time-saving nailing from a better angle.

I-JOIST & STRUCTURAL COMPOSITE TIMBER TOP FLANGE HANGERS

See tables on page 33. • LBV and BI hangers are a one-piece, non-welded joist hanger for supporting I-joists and structural composite timber from timber members. • This design configuration has the material section where it counts, resulting in maximum load values. • The LBV is designed especially for use with multiple ply headers of 38mm or 45mm thick.

LBV 64

57

INSTALLATION: • Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table. • Web stiffeners are required for use with the BI hanger style and sloped or skewed LBV hangers. • The LBV and BI hangers may be used for weld on applications. The minimum required weld for the top flanges is a 3.0 x 50mm fillet weld on each side of the top flange tabs. Weld-on applications produce maximum allowable loads listed. Uplift loads do not apply for this application. Special considerations should be taken when welding galvanised steel. OPTIONS: • Other widths and heights are available as a special order, contact factory for details. • LBV and BI series hangers can be skewed and sloped to a maximum of 45°. See table for load adjustment factors. • To order specials, put an X after the model number and add required directions and dimensions: D=seat sloped down, U=seat sloped up, R=skewed right, L=skewed left. Example: LBV359.5-2X D30 R45 is an LBV359.5-2 with a sloped down seat 30° and skewed right 45°. See HWU hanger page for skew directions and angle measurement.

WPU/GLTV

FOR I-JOIST & STRUCTURAL COMPOSITE TIMBER

See tables on page 35. • These are a welded joist hanger for supporting I-joists and structural composite timber from timber members. • These hangers offer the greatest design flexibility and versatility. • GLTV hangers are designed for use with structural composite lumber (PSL, LSL or LVL) headers and may take heavy loads. The top flange nails are sized and specifically located to prevent degradation of the header due to splitting of laminations.

GLTV 225

75

MATERIAL: WPU—5mm top flange, 2.5mm stirrup - mild steel; GLTV—5mm top flange and stirrup - mild steel.

75

SAFE WORKING LOADS: For hanger heights exceeding the joist height, the SWL is 0.5 of the table load. If header is multiple plies of 45mm PSL, the GLTV SWL is the lesser of the table load or 26.68kN.

WPU

130

225

65

INSTALLATION: • Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table. • All multiple members must be secured together to work as a single unit before installation into the hanger. • Web stiffeners are required for I-joists with all of these hanger styles. • These hangers may be used for weld on applications. The minimum required welds for the top flanges are 5mm x 38mm for WPU and 6mm x 63mm for GLTV, fillet welds located at each end of the top flange. Weld-on applications produce maximum allowable loads listed. Uplift loads do not apply for this application. OPTIONS: • Other widths and heights are available as a special order, contact Simpson Strong-Tie for details. • Straddle available-specify S dimension. • These hangers can be skewed and sloped to a maximum of 45°. Check with the factory for WPU with a width of greater than 89mm for skewed availability. • For skews greater than 15°, multiply the table uplift load by 0.50. • For sloped and skewed GLTV configurations the SWL is the lesser of the table load or 24.46kN. • For sloped only, the SWL is the lesser of the load listed or 28.91kN for the GLTV. • For skewed only, the SWL is the lesser of the load listed or 29.13kN for the GLTV. • To order specials, put an X after the model number and add required directions and dimensions. Specify whether low side, high side or center of joist will be flush with the top of the header (see illustration): D=seat sloped down, U=seat sloped up, R=skewed right, L=skewed left. Example: WPU200/46X D30 R45 high side flush is a WPU200/46 with a sloped down seat 30° and skewed right 45° with the high side of the joist flush with the top of the header.

IUS

FACE MOUNT I-JOIST HANGERS

The IUS is an innovative hanger with “Snap-in” technology, which combines the advantages of a face mount hanger with the ease-of-installation of the top flange hanger.

IUS

FEATURES: • Installation is SNAP-IN, no more joist nails! • The “Snap-In” teardrops near the seat allow the hanger to “snap” in and keep the bottom flange secure. The hanger has a rated uplift of 0.33 kN without joist nails. • The locator tabs quickly set the hanger to the correct depth. For other depths, simply bend the tabs back. • Funnel flanges guide the joist to ease installation. • The starburst in the seat holds the joist in the centre of the hanger. • The embossed seat adds strength and stiffness. Less movement means fewer squeaks. • Speed prongs hold the hanger in place until nailed off.

Typical IUS Installation

MATERIAL: 1.2mm pre-galvanised mild steel. INSTALLATION: Fill all round holes with 3.75 x 75mm galvanized round wire nails. OPTIONS: Download: Where applicable, use the extra triangle holes on the face to get additional download capacity. (Not all models have additional download capacity). Uplift: Use the two extra triangle holes on the joist flange to get extra uplift capacity. See tables below for alternative joist installation and maximum uplift option.

I-Joist Hangers

The new design allows the sub-floor to attach flush to the header, which reduces gaps, bumps and squeaks.


IUT/MIU/HIU See tables on pages 39 – 41. • IUT, MIU and HIU hangers are a one piece, non-welded, face mounted hanger for supporting I-joists from timber members. • The MIU and HIU hangers feature Positive Angle Nailing (PAN), which minimises splitting of the flanges while permitting time-saving nailing from a better angle. With PAN nailing, the slotted hole material is not removed, but is used to channel and confine the path of the nail to the optimum angle. • Joist top flanges are laterally restrained by the side of the hanger, eliminating the need for web stiffeners. I-joist manufacturers may require web stiffeners. • Nail the IUT’s special bend-tab with 3.75 x 30mm nails vertically into the bottom flange of the I-joist when web stiffeners are not used. The bend tab can also be nailed directly into the web stiffener. This constrains the I-joist, helping to reduce squeaks resulting from joist movement.

IUT U.S. Patent 5,555,694

ENHANCED UPLIFT LOADS: The IUT, MIU and HIU have optional tiangular nail holes for additional uplift. Properly attached web stiffeners may be required for Enhanced uplift. Please contact Simpson Strong-Tie for details. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table. • IUT—optional seat diamond hole allows pre-attachment of hanger to joist before installation. • Web stiffeners are not required with I-joists when the joist top flange is laterally supported by the sides of the hanger, I-joist manufacturers may require web stiffeners. • IUT’s bend-tab may be nailed unbent into plywood web stiffeners.

MH

MINI HANGER

• The MH is a one piece galvanised hanger available in a range of widths for light duty applications such as trimmers and ceiling joists of I-Joist. • Suitable for use with I-Joist headers. • Tab on seat ensures easy and accurate placement. • Tab has easy bend feature when not required. • Design ensures nails are always in the optimum position on I-Joist flanges irrespective of the hanger width. • Fully tested on a range of I-Joist headers.

MH

H

B

Typical MH Installation W

INSTALLATION: • For I-Joist headers fill all round holes only with specified nails. • The hanger depth should be at least 60% of the carried member depth to prevent rotation, if less than 60% additional lateral restraint is required to the top of the carried member. • Provide lateral restraint to the joist by either skew nailing through the joist top flange into the header or by using another MH hanger upside down.

FACE MOUNT HANGERS

See table on page 43. • Heavy-duty hangers designed for applications requiring additional strength. • Composite HU hangers have round and triangle holes in the face and joist. • The hanger depth is to be at least 60% of the carried member depth to prevent rotation, unless additional lateral restraint is added to the top of the carried member.

Typical HU Installation with Composite Wood Joist

MATERIAL: U—1.5mm pre-galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+Z275. HU—2.0mm pre-galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+Z275. INSTALLATION: • Use all specified fasteners. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table. • Composite HU hangers can be installed according to two different nailing schedules. To achieve maximum published loads all round and triangular holes must be filled with the specified fasteners. OPTIONS: • Slope and skew options available for all HU hangers. • Skews right or left up to 67.5° and slopes up or down up to 45°. • Hangers with skews greater than 15° may have all joist nailing on the outside angle. • For HU hangers with combined skews and slopes the maximum SWL is 80% of the medium term loads stated within the table. • Concealed flanges available on some models. Specify HUC. Minimum Width = 70mm for composite HU hangers.

HGUS

ENGINEERED WOOD HANGER

• The HGUS is a one piece, non-welded, joist hanger for supporting solid composite beams from timber members. • Double shear nailing allows distribution of the carried member's load through two points on each nail for greater strength (see illustration). It also allows faster installation with with fewer nails, using common nails for all connections. MATERIAL: 2.5mm pre-galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+Z275.

INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table. • Illustration shows left and right skews. • For SUR and SUL, square butt cut the joist end. • For HSUR and HSUL, bevel cut the joist end.


THAI • THAI are a one piece, non-welded, joist hanger for supporting composite timbers from timber members. • The model number and size is stamped onto the seat of most sizes for easy identification of the hanger, even after installation. Features • Designed for I-joists, 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-joist’s bottom flange. • Extra nail holes are provided for access in some conditions. Not all strap nail holes need to be filled. See table for nailing requirements. • THAI-2 must be factory ordered for hanger width needed. See table for allowable widths.

SIMPSON® Strong Tie

I-Joist Hangers

MATERIAL: THAI—1.2mm; THAI-2—2.0mm pre-galvanised mild steel. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Two different installation methods are available depending on the availability of nailing surface. Maximum nailing—for applications where all the nails listed in the table can be properly installed. Install the quantity of face nails shown into the straps for full table load and two 3.75 x 30mm nails driven downward at a 45° angle into the I-joist’s bottom flange. The THAI has additional nail holes—not all holes are required to be filled to achieve listed loads. Minimum nailing—for applications where the strap is wrapped over the top of the support. Install nails into each strap at the face surface of the hanger and 3.75 x 30mm nails driven downward at a 45° angle into the I-joist bottom flange. Then two nails into each strap at the top of the support after forming tight bend. Bend top flange a minimum of 65mm. OPTIONS:—Because these hangers are fully die formed they cannot be modified (excludes THAI-2). Typical THAI Installation with Minimum Nailing Configuration Do not nail within 6 mm of multiple ply seam.

THA250

ADJUSTABLE TRUSS HANGERS

THA250/50

THA250 Features • Manufactured under the BM TRADA Q-Mark Certification Scheme. • A galvanised truss shoe that provides greater support for the truss, combined with ease of installation that can be adjusted to suit the height of the girder bottom chord. • Simpson’s exclusive double shear nailing feature guides the 75mm nails into joist at a 45° angle. This provides easier nail driving as the installer doesn’t need to swing the hammer sideways. The nail is supported at the side of the hanger and at the supporting timber providing the double shear which generates higher load capacities. • Wider strap provides more surface area on the supporting girder and allows increased nail spacing, enhancing the performance of the critical hanger-to-support part of the connection. • Minimum and maximum nailing schedules are stamped into the strap on most sizes providing correct installation information for site operatives. • Speed-prong on most sizes holds the hanger in position to allow easier attachment. The installer no longer has to try to hold hanger, joist and nail with one hand and swing a hammer with the other.

Double Shear Nailing

MATERIAL: 1.2mm pre-galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+Z275. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Two different installation methods are available depending on the availability of nailing surface.

Examples of THA Installation

Maximum nailing—for applications where all the nails listed in the table can be properly installed. Install the quantity of face nails shown into the straps for full table load and for the THA250, six 75mm nails in joist at 45° angle. Minimum nailing—for applications where the strap is wrapped over the top of the support. Install nails into each strap at the face surface of the hanger and for the THA250, 75mm nails at a 45° angle through the joist into the support. Bend top flange a minimum of 55mm for the THA250. OPTIONS: THA—Because these hangers are fully die formed they cannot be modified.

1. L/D = Truss Span (mm) divided by Truss Depth (mm). 2. The truss designer shall determine the L/D ratio required to ensure satisfactory truss performance. 3. The truss designer shall design each truss to meet all applicable code requirements. 4. The truss designer must determine the quantity and spacing of pairs based on load capacity requirements. Provide a pair of L70's at each load application point unless the loaded truss is designed for the total load applied between the L70's. (Load transfer shall not exceed the applicable table value or the limits stated in the notes). 5. Loads may not be increased for construction or other loading conditions.

1. Safe working loads are for one anchor. When the anchors are installed on each side of the joist, the minimum joist thickness is 75mm. 2. Some illustrations show connections that would cause cross-grain tension or bending of the wood during loading if not reinforced sufficiently. In this case, mechanical reinforcement should be considered.

• H and L straps are designed to The Building Regulations, BS 5268 Part 3 and other building standards for vertical and horizontal restraint when connecting timber floor and roof systems to masonry walls. • HRS and LRS new rolled form gives strong performance, yet light to use. The HRS is accepted by NHBC as an alternative to the 30mm x 5mm restraint strapping. The LRS is an alternative to the 30mm x 2.5mm restraint strap. • HTFA and LTFA are designed to bridge the 50mm cavity and tie the timber frame to brickwork. Extends 75mm into brickwork and 300mm through cavity. • Heavy restraint straps meet requirements for lateral restraint of roof trusses, rafters and joists tied into masonry walls. • Light restraint straps are designed for vertical loads such as wall plates on top of masonry walls. • All common sizes in stock from 500 to 2000mm long, 100mm increments. MATERIAL: H and HTFA—30mm x 5mm; L and LTFA—30mm x 2.5mm; HRS—30mm x 1.5mm; LRS—30mm x 1.0mm mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+Z275.

HLHS/HLB

HI-LOAD STRAPS

Designed to provide higher strength than traditional straps whilst offering additional advantages. Satisfies the requirements of the NHBC Technical Standards for restraint straps. Straps lock onto Hi-Load build-in backs, which provide the bend. Notching the joist may not be needed because of the horizontal strap’s slimline design.

Hi-Load Strap

The modular nature of this range dramatically reduces the number of lines needing to be stocked by the merchant, whilst providing a more economic solution than traditional straps. The Hi-Load straps have a return end 100 mm wide compared to 30 mm for traditional straps. This provides great advantages particularly when used in conjunction with low density aerated concrete masonry, as the spread of load over the total area significantly reduces the local crushing of masonry under load and thus reduces the likelihood of failure in this manner. MATERIAL: Straps: HLHS—1.2mm pre-galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+Z275. Backs: HLB—2.5mm pre-galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+Z600. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. Horizontal lateral restraint straps should be placed at not more than 2m centres and attached to at least 3 timber members through the use of noggings and packing. Attach to timber members with four steel screws or four 4mm x 75mm round nails for roofs and two into each joist for floors or eight 3.75 x 30mm square twist nails. Vertical restraint strapping should be at least 1m long. Where straps are fixed to masonry, hardened nails 8SWG x 75mm long or wood screws into plugs No 12 x 50mm long should be used. The minimum of five fixings should be used and the lowest fixing should be located within 150mm of the bottom of the vertical strap. Attach to timber with 3.35 x 50mm nails.

Additional fixings may be required, as specified by the designer, for high uplift loads. TO ORDER: Order strap and back components separately.

CJGCCWS/CJSCCWS Many new domestic constructions suffer from movement cracking. Drying shrinkage and settlement are the most common causes. These cracks rarely effect the structural stability of the extension but do look unsightly and give the home-owner cause for concern. The NEW Crack Control Wall Starter assists any movement to take place where the new wall joins the existing wall. By using sleeved ties and no mortar to the vertical joint the Crack Control Wall Starter makes allowance for shrinkage movement and provides little resistance to vertical settlement. • A new wall starter that reduces the chance of unsightly cracking. • Allows shrinkage and settlement. • Suitable for up to three storeys. • Lateral restraint from only ten ties per storey height. • Suitable for wall up to 250mm thick. MATERIAL: Stainless Steel Profiles: Mild Steel Profiles:

Plumb and mark out three fixing holes at the bottom, centre and top of the wall starter. • Drill and plug wall with a 10mm masonry drill. Use the three fixing screws and retaining washers to clamp the wall starter to the wall. Repeat this process until the desired height is reached, cutting the final length of wall starter if necessary. • Begin constructing the wall, omitting mortar from the vertical joint between the existing and new walls, making sure they abut tightly. • Twist in the first sleeved tie 225mm from the base of the wall starter and press into the bed joint mortar. Continue fitting ties at maximum 225mm vertical intervals as the wall is constructed. A mastic sealant should be applied to the external vertical joint.

MATERIAL: Cavity Wall Ties:

Stainless steel to BS EN 10088/2 Grade 1.4301. Thickness as noted in table below. Black plastic.

Insulation Clip: INSTALLATION:

For cavity walls with a leaf thickness of 90mm or more, unless otherwise specified place ties at 900mm centres horizontally, 450mm centres vertically and staggered where possible to a minimum density to be 2.5 ties per square metre. Additional ties should be used at the unbonded vertical edges of an opening or at movement control joints. These should be placed 225mm from the joint, or opening, edge and at a maximum of 300mm centre to centre. Ties should be embedded into each leaf by at least 50mm, however to allow for normal tolerances of cavity widths this is usually increased. When using insulation batts, it may be necessary to reduce the horizontal tie spacing to 600mm centres.

PLASTERING ACCESSORIES Simpson Strong-Tie offers a range of Beads, Mesh and Archformers to satisfy the requirements of modern building design along with the needs of traditional repair and maintenance work.

ERS Bell End Render Stop Bead CORROSION PROTECTION • In normal circumstances matured plasterwork may be regarded as dry and therefore non-corrosive. Where galvanised beads are used the initial plaster drying out period should be kept to a minimum to reduce the risk of possible corrosion of the steel. • Stainless steel beads are specifically designed for cement based renders and should not be used with gypsum based plasters. • To prevent bimetallic corrosion ensure all metal fixings used in the installation are of the same material or are separated with a suitable plastic sheathing. • In general metal beads should be kept dry and stored flat. Care should also be taken to prevent accidental damage to the galvanised coating. • The use of water contaminated with soluble salts in plastering mixes should be avoided as should soluble chlorides as they are likely to increase the risk of metal corrosion. MATERIAL: Simpson Strong-Ties Plastering Accessories are manufactured from either: • Pre-galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+Z275, or • Austenitic Stainless Steel to BS EN 10088-2, Grade 1.4301.

SAB Angle Bead

Mild steel DX51D galvanised to Z275 is NOT suitable for external applications. Stainless Steel should only be used in external applications with the appropriate cement based renders. BRITISH STANDARDS Relevant current British Standards are as follows; • BS 1369: Part 1: 1987 - Steel Lathing for Internal Plastering and External Rendering • BS 5262: Part 1: 1991 - Code of Practice for External Rendering • BS 5492: Part 1: 1990 - Code of Practice for Internal Plastering • BS 6452: Part 1: 1984 - Beads for Internal Plastering and Dry Lining • BS 8000: Part 10: 1995 - Workmanship on Site: Code of Practice for Plastering and Rendering • BS8212: Part 1: 1995 - Code of Practice for Dry lining and Partitioning using Gypsum Plaster.

RBL

GENERAL INSTALLATION NOTES: • The most appropriate bead should be specified in accordance with the application, required plaster depth and desired finish. • Ensure that all metals components used in a given installation are of the same material type. • Always wear gloves when cutting or handling to prevent injury from sharp edges. • Beads and Mesh may be cut to size as required by using snips across the mesh and a hacksaw across the beads noses.

1. Pressing the bead's wings firmly into plaster dabs placed at approximately 600mm centres both sides of the arris. 2. The wings may be embedded into the first coat of plaster for normal two coat work. 3. Nailing to a background with galvanised, or stainless steel, nails. • The alignment of butt joints may be assisted by the application of headless nails, or wire of similar material, within the nosing. • When beads are used in conjunction with metal lath backgrounds, galvanised or stainless steel tying wire may be used. Ensure the wire material matches the bead and lath materials. All wire should be twisted tightly and the ends bent away from the finished face of the coating. (For lath fixing details refer to DML and RBL sections of catalogue)

Installation for Pre-Formed Archframes

• Avoid damage to beads when trowelling plaster or render.

MATERIAL: 0.45mm stainless steel to BS EN 10088/2 Grade 1.4301. 0.45mm pre-galvanised steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+Z275. INSTALLATION: Installation usually achieved by pressing the wings firmly into plaster dabs placed at approximately 600mm centres both sides of the arris. The wings may alternatively be embedded into the first coat of plaster for normal two-coat work. Alignment of butt joints may be assisted by the application of headless nails or wire of similar material within the nosing, and fixing to metal lathing may also be made with wire of similar material. Beads may be cut to size as required by using a hacksaw and snips. Beads should be stored off the ground and in dry conditions during site work.

Gloves should be worn to protect hands from sharp metal edges. Fix with the mesh length running across the supports (at max 350mm centres) with strand sloping downwards and away from the face of the coating.

Expanded Metal Lathing

Timber: Using 7 mm headed plasterers nails 38mm long, or 32 x 2mm staples, fix to each support starting from the centre of sheet. Angle fixings away from the centre to give the lath the necessary tension. Steel: Bend 1.2mm tying wire into long “U”shapes and tie lath at 100mm centres by pulling tight and twisting. When cutting wire ends, ensure that they are not left near the surface of the plaster. Sheet ends should be overlapped by 50mm on supports and wired together at 150mm centres. Sheet sides should be overlapped by a minimum of 25mm and wired together at 150mm centres.

RIB LATH

• Provides plaster backing for walls, ceilings and stud partitions. • Suitable for refurbishing the damaged, or deteriorated, face of masonry walls. MATERIAL: Pre-galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+Z275. Stainless steel to BS EN 10088/2 Grade 1.4301.

RBL

FINISH: Galvanised or stainless steel. INSTALLATION: All metal components used in any particular application must be of the same material type. Gloves should be worn to protect hands from sharp metal edges. Fixing of lath should follow BS 5492: 1990 Code of practice for Internal Plastering and BS 5262: 1991 Code of practice for External Rendering. The apex of rib lath should always be in contact with the fixing background. FIXING TO METAL OR TIMBER SUPPORTS Timber: Use 38 x 7mm plasterer’s nails or 32 x 2mm staples to fix with ribs running at 90° to timber studs which should be at a maximum 600mm centres. Metal: Use 1.63mm or two strands of 1.22mm galvanised mild steel wire to tie around the rib where it crosses each steel stud. Steel studs should be at maximum 600mm centres. To join sheets of Rib Lath, the edge ribs should be overlapped and the edges tied at 150mm centres with 1.22mm tying wire. Where the ends of the lathing finish in front of a support, overlap by 50mm, otherwise sheets should be overlapped by 100mm with two 1.63mm ties used with each overlapping rib. Fixing to solid backgrounds: The ribs of the lath should be held firmly against the background by the use of fixings placed at 600 mm centres. End edges should be overlapped by 50mm, side edges by 25mm and tied or screwed at 150mm centres.

ARCH FORMERS

A high quality yet cost effective means of creating internal arches in masonry walls. Suits wall thickness up to 150mm as standard. Solid bead for durability and ease of plastering. Available in a variety of styles and sizes.

Figure 1

MATERIAL: 0.45mm pre-galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+2275. INSTALLATION: • All fixings and instructions included. • Archformers are non-load bearing. If creating a new opening a lintel will be needed. Selection: Measure the brick to brick width and thickness of gap. If necessary, cut arch using snips and a hacksaw or use a bridging section (ref BSP450). If wall thickness exceeds 150mm, select extra Soffit Piece (ref ESP295) for wall thickness up to 400mm. Fixing: Remove plaster down to brickwork and mark centre point of the gap on both sides. Nail arch segments into place using, masonry nails provided, connecting beads at centre with joining pieces supplied. If provided, fit Soffit pieces between segments with screws, nails and joining pieces. For walls of thickness less than 150mm join overlapping fixed soffits with self-tapping screws provided. For walls thicker than 150mm use extra soffit piece (ref ESP295) in the same way as above. To adapt an arch to fit between two parallel walls, cut and use wooden battens as shown in figure 1. Plastering: When the arch frame is fully secured to the wall, use standard angle bead on vertical corners as usual and apply plaster directly to the mesh.

Installation for Pre-Formed Archformers

Fix to brickwork with fixings provided.

Bead & Mesh
