Key Features:
High Load Capacity: Crafted to support substantial weights, making it ideal for heavy-duty projects.
Double-Shear Nailing: This design innovation distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, providing greater strength.
Versatile Installation: Can be installed after the beam is secured in place, offering flexibility during construction.
Durable Construction: Manufactured from 12-gauge galvanized steel, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance.
Installation:
Fastener Requirements: Use all specified fasteners as per the manufacturer's guidelines. Typically, this includes 16d nails driven at an angle through the joist or truss into the header to achieve the specified load capacities.
Compatibility: Not designed for welded or nailer applications. Avoid using double-shear hangers with I-joists.
Carrying Members: For 3x carrying members, when 0.162" x 3 1/2" nails are specified, use 0.162" x 2 1/2" nails into the header and 0.162" x 3 1/2" nails into the joist with no load reduction.
Applications:
Residential Construction: Provides secure connections for beams and girders in homes, enhancing structural integrity.
Commercial Projects: Supports heavy loads in commercial buildings, ensuring compliance with stringent building codes.
Deck Construction: Offers reliable support for deck beams, contributing to the safety and longevity of outdoor structures.
Timber Framing: Ideal for use in timber-framed structures, facilitating strong and stable joints.
