Corrosion Information

Triple Zinc G-185

Connectors, including anchors and fasteners,


installed in corrosive environments or exposed to
corrosive materials, or chemicals, can be damaged
possibly resulting in the reduction of load capacity.
The selection of the proper connector coating can
be a complicated task. Environments can vary
greatly regionally and are also influenced by
variables such as fertilizer, animal waste, and wet
cycle durations. If an electrolyte is present, such as
water, a metal will form an electric circuit with a
dissimilar metal and galvanic corrosion can take
place. Zinc is the metal used in the hot-dip
galvanizing process due to its ability to sacrifice
itself while protecting the base steel underneath.
When the zinc and copper are in electrical contact
with each other the copper will have a tendency to
extract electrons from the highly reactive zinc at a
greater rate, therefore corrosion will take place at a
greater rate. That being the case it is impossible to
prescribe a reasonable uniform solution which will
serve all environments adequately.

Chemical producers in the treated wood industry


agreed to discontinue the use of Chromated
Copper Arsenate (CCA) for most residential
applications at the end of 2003. In place of CCA,
treated wood suppliers use copper based
alternative treatment chemicals. Testing conducted
by USP and others in the industry have concluded
the ACQ and Copper Azole wood treatments are
more corrosive to metals than traditionally used
CCA treatments are.

Recently some wood preservative manufacturers


have introduced new wood preservative
formulations. These formulations include new
micronized copper products as well as carbon
based PTI wood preservatives.

Hot-Dip Galvanized

G90 Galvanizing galvanizing provides a


prefabrication coating of 0.90 ounces of zinc per
square foot of surface area measured in
accordance with ASTM A 653.
Triple Zinc (TZ)
galvanizing provides a prefabrication coating of
1.85 (G-185) ounces of zinc per square foot of
surface area measured in accordance with ASTM
A 653.
Required Fastener: Hot-dip galvanized fasteners

Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) coating provides an


after-fabrication hot-dipped zinc coating. The
coating thickness is dependent on the connector
material, but generally ranges from 1.1 to 2.3
ounces of zinc per square foot of surface. Hot-dip
products meet requirements set forth in ASTM A
123.
Require Fastener: Hot-dip galvanized fasteners

Gold Coat (GC)


Gold Coat is a proprietary multi-layer protection
system. It is comprised of an organic top coat
barrier layer and a zinc layer placed over a steel
substrate.
Required Fastener: Gold Coat fasteners

Stainless Steel (SS) is the best option for


corrosion protection. Quality stainless steel (316SS
grade steel) is used to fabricate connectors.
Although costs are higher, some applications may
need the virtual corrosion proof quality of stainless
steel.
Required Fastener: Stainless Steel fasteners

Corrosion Protection Guidelines:


USPrecommends stainless steel connectors for the highest
level of corrosion protection. As an economical alternative to
stainless steel our new Gold Coat connectors are specifically
designed for exterior application when in contact with
preservative treated wood.
Triple Zinc G-185 connectors are available as an economical
alternative for exterior applications which will provide a
minimum level of protection.
The use of correct fastener with the connector is critical.
Stainless steel connectors require stainless steel fasteners.
For exterior applications, hot-dip galvanized fasteners (HDG)
must be used with both Triple Zinc and Hot-dip galvanized
finishes. Gold Coat connectors require gold coat fasteners.
USPs zinc dichromate WS Wood Screws are not
recommended for use with preservative or fire-retardant
treated wood. Some wood screws are available in Gold Coat.
USPStructural Connectors clearly differentiates
standard G90 connectors from the corrosion resistant
connectors. Gold Coat connectors are distinguishable from
other connectors because of their concealing color. Examples
of our carton labels, bin cards for retail displays, and
individual product labels are found below.

The structural connectors coating recommendations chart on


page 7 has been developed by reviewing both field service
performance and accelerated corrosion testing results. While
accelerated corrosion testing is a valuable tool to help predict
relative performance, both the particular testing method used
by the industry and the different wood treatment products
tested are relatively new and there is little actual field service
life data to correlate to the test results. In addition, actual
service environments are much more complicated than
accelerated tests. In accelerated tests influencing variables
are typically minimized and manipulated to cause reactions to
occur more quickly. Consequently this may result in reactions
which are not completely representative of actual service
conditions. Because of this it is difficult to assign an expected
service life to a given coating in an environment based on the
results of accelerated testing.

3) This Product Catalogue was designed as a general


reference for the USP Product Line. Various specialized
publications have been developed for design professionals,
truss manufacturers, contractors, retail dealers, and building
material wholesalers. Product load values may vary from one
publication to another due to recent product testing, changes
in regulatory criteria, or code evaluation updates. The most
current product information is available on USPs Web Site.

4) The type and quantity of fasteners used to install USP


products is critical to connector performance. To achieve the
resistance values presented in this catalogue, all specified
fasteners must be used and proper installation procedures
observed. Verify that the dimensions of supporting members
are sufficient to receive specified fasteners. Any product
modifications void the warranty unless prior written
permission of USP Structural Connectors is obtained.

13) Anchor Bolts conform to ASTM F 1554.

14) USP connectors listed in this catalogue are manufactured


for specific sizes of standard lumber, plated trusses, or

Design Notes
1) Factored resistances for more than one direction for a
single connection cannot be added together. A design load
which can be divided into components in the directions given
must be evaluated as follows:
Factored uplift / Factored uplift resistance + Factored
parallel to plate / Factored parallel to plate resistance +
Factored perpendicular to plate / Factored perpendicular
to plate <= 1.0
2) Connector ratings may exceed the tensile strength or other
aspects of the wood members involved in the connection.
A qualified designer should verify wood member capacities
when specifying connectors.
3) Verify that the size of the supporting member can
accommodate the connectors specified fasteners.
4) Some illustrations in this catalogue may not reflect
additional mechanical reinforcements which may be required
to reduce cross grain tension or wood member bending under
loading. The design professional is responsible for
determining if additional mechanical reinforcement is
required.
5) USP recommends the hanger height be a minimum of 60%
of the joist height for stability.
Limit States Design
The factored resistance values presented in this catalogue
are for Limit States Design (LSD) in accordance with the
2010 National Building Code of Canada (NBCC). The values
have been developed by either testing to CSA O86-09, or soft
converted from working stress design. These procedures are
summarized as follows:
(a) Testing to CSA O86
Products that have been evaluated to the CSA Standard
are listed under the Codes heading in each product series
section if applicable. Visit USPs Web Site,
<http://www.USPconnectors.com/>, or specific code
agencies web site for current listing. Code evaluation
numbers listed in this catalogue may not apply to all stock
numbers or product series listed.

steel information on specific products. USP Structural


Connectors are manufactured from steel which meets
ASTM A 653, ASTM A 1011, or ASTM A 36.

Product Design Loads


Factored resistance values in this catalogue are given for
standard term loading and/or short term loading as described
below:
(a) Standard term loading
This includes the effects of dead loads plus loads due to
snow or use and occupancy in which the duration of load
factor(KD) in CSAO86 is equal to 1.0. Therefore,
connectors carrying roof or floor members should be
selected using the standard term load resistance. In many
tables this is designated as vertical (100%) or bearing
(100%). The 100% indicates that no duration of load
increase is included.
(b) Short term loading
This case refers to loading that will not exceed 7 days
throughout the life of the structure and includes wind and
earthquake loads. Short term loading has a duration of
load factor (KD) of 1.15 included. In the tables short term
loading resistance is also designated as uplift (115%).

In some cases the strength of the steel governs the


resistance values and therefore no increase for short term
loading is included.

Standard term resistance values have been established


by testing to ASTM D1761 and the CSA-O86-09 using the
following criteria:
Lowest corrected ultimate load multiplied by 0.91 and a
resistance factor of 0.6.
The average load at 1/8" deflection multiplied by 2.42
and a resistance factor of 0.6.
(b) Soft Conversion from Working StressDesign
The soft converted values use the allowable working
loads developed in the United States using the 2005
National Design Specification and the ICC-ES AC13
Acceptance criteria for Joist Hangers and Similar
Devices. These allowable working loads are based on
testing to ASTM D1761 and calculations on the fasteners
and wood bearing using the NDS. They were soft
converted by multiplying the floor load case (KD=1.0) by
1.44 to obtain standard term load resistance in Limit
States Design.
The soft converted value of each bolted connector has been
also compared to the calculated resistance of the bolts as
given in CSA O86-09. The lower of the two values is given in
the tables.

Material
USP selects steel for its various products in accordance with
application needs and steel properties, including tensile
strength, ductility, corrosion resistance, gauge, and
weldability. See specific code evaluations or consult USP for

Installation Notes
1) Use proper safety equipment during connector
installations. Always wear gloves when handling connectors.

2) All field welding should be done in accordance with CSA


W59 Codes. Caution: Welding galvanized steel may produce
harmful fumes and should only be performed in
well-ventilated environments.

4) Drill bolt holes a minimum of 132 and a maximum of 116


larger than the diameter of the bolt to be installed. Per CSA
O86-09 Clause 10.4.1.2.

5) Washers should always be used under the head or nut of


a bolt when not in contact with the connector unless noted
otherwise.

6) It is permissible to use nail guns to install connectors as


long as the specified nails are installed through prepunched
nail holes and all specified nail holes are filled. USP
recommends the use of nail guns featuring hole-locating
mechanisms. Please note that many nail guns use fasteners
smaller than the common nail size and load reductions will
result. Contact USP or visit our Web Site for additional
information. Caution: Always follow nail gun manufacturers
safety guidelines.
7) Joists installed in hangers should bear fully on the
connector seat and shall be cut to fit against the header with
a gap no greater than 18 between the joist end and header
face.

8) Multiple-ply members must be fastened securely together


to act as one member.

9) Top mount hangers shall be installed with the face of the


hanger tight to the face of the header

10) Top mount hangers installed in floor systems may


produce unevenness. This may vary by the thickness of the
hanger top flange steel and the nail heads. If a problem is
anticipated, the effects can be mitigated by dapping the beam
or cutting the subfloor at hanger locations. The use of face
mount hangers will eliminate this problem.

3) The type and quantity of fasteners used to install USP


products is critical to connector performance. To achieve the
factored resistance shown in this catalogue, install with the
fasteners specified for that particular product. Some products
allow for alternate nail installations. Refer to the Optional
Nails for Face Mount Hangers chart on page 15 of this
catalogue for load adjustments when using alternate nailing.
All specified fasteners must be properly installed prior to
applying load of any kind to the connection.

Wood Screws WS series


The WS Wood Screw is a self-drilling screw used for numerous framing
applications. This screw features a reverse locking serration on the bottom of
the screw head to help prevent over tightening against a steel plate. The USP
head stamp identifies screws for easy inspection.

Serrations

Screw shear capacities are based on a diameter of 0.242 when the shear plane
is on the screw shank (SH) and 0.185 when the shear plane is on the knurl or
threads (T). USP WS Wood Screws have a bending yield strength of 180,000
psi.

L
T
Cut threads

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.
Installing the screw at an angle may introduce additional bending and tension
forces into the fastener if the screw head is not flat on the bearing surface. Care
should be given to ensure the fastener is installed perpendicular to the plane of
the side plate.

Joining 2, 3, or 4 Ply Wood Trusses

Copyright 2013 USPStructural Connectors

Fasteners

The installation instructions and design example shown below are intended for a design professional who will be
responsible for determining the location and number of wood screws to adequately transfer all loads on the truss.

Installation:
Screw spacing shall not be greater than 24 on centre and less than 4 on centre. However, the location of any
individual screw may be adjusted up to one-half the required screw spacing to avoid lumber defects or interference
with other hardware.
Load or hanger spacing shall not be greater than 24 centre-to-centre.
The last truss ply must have a minimum of 11/4 of screw penetration and no more than 1/8 gap between each ply.
Screws cannot be installed through metal truss plates unless the Truss Engineer approves predrilling.
On 2x4 members, use one row of wood screws. On 2x6 and 2x8 use two rows, and on 2x10 use three rows. Stagger
all rows.
The truss bottom chord shall have lateral bracing installed as called out by the Truss Engineer to prevent any
displacement from torsional forces.

Joining 2 Ply 4x2 Floor Trusses

Copyright 2013 USPStructural Connectors

Uniform/Distributed Load

Screws shall be installed into the top chord with a horizontal


spacing between screws of not less than 4-inches on centre and
not more than 24-inches on centre.
A minimum end distance of 4-inches must be maintained. If
necessary, additional screws may be installed in the bottom chord.
Centre screw vertically on 11/2 dimension of top chord. If
splitting occurs, it may be necessary to pre-drill the holes in
accordance with the code.
The screws shall be installed with the headed end of the screw
on the loaded truss. If either ply is the loaded truss, the screws
shall be divided between the two plies, with the spacing on each
side twice the minimum indicated above.
The screws shall not be installed through the metal truss plates,
unless approved by the truss designer and the plates are
pre-drilled, on each side to a 1/4-inch diameter. Do not drill through
the wood.
The maximum gap between the wood members of the two
trusses shall be 1/8-inch.
The truss designer shall design the truss members with the
capacity and capability of the screws in mind, and shall meet all
provisions of the code and ANSI/TPI.
Individual screw locations may need to be adjusted to avoid
conflicts with connectors, problematic wood or other framing
members. Adjustments should follow the criteria described in this
section.

Fasteners

The following information pertains to the use of the USPs WS6 Wood Screws to fasten together a two-ply 4x2 floor truss
girder, such that the induced loads are supported by both truss plies. Screw spacing and the location of each specific
screw may vary depending on the design criteria for each application, and therefore must be determined by the truss or
building designer. However, in the determination of screw locations, the following criterion shall also be considered.
These criterion are varying dependent upon how trusses are loaded as follows:
Uniform/Distributed Load

Applied distributed load

WS6 Wood Screws

Concentrated/Point Load
Applied Concentrated Load
WS6 Wood Screw

Concentrated/Point Load

The placement of fasteners for concentrated loading includes all


requirements of uniform loading with the additional following
criteria:

Loads must occur over a vertical member, and the necessary


concentration of screws shall be installed in the vertical member.
Additional screws may be installed on the top chord and
adjacent web members if necessary.
The fasteners should be grouped as close to the concentrated
load as possible, but satisfy the same minimum spacing
indicated for uniform loading.
In no case shall the required group of fasteners extend beyond
12-inches from the location of the concentrated load.

Lumberlok Structural Connector Screws - LL series


The LumberLok Structural Connector Screw is a self-drilling screw that can be
used with a number of USP Structural Connectors and also for wood-to-wood
applications. The screws feature a T20 Torx head with integral washer and
gimlet point for ease of installation. The twin-lead threads drive in twice as fast
as the single lead threads significantly reducing installation time. The USP
head stamp identifies the screw length for easy inspection.

T20 Torx
head

Screw
length

Screw shear capacities are based on a diameter of 0.162 when the shear plane
is on the screw shoulder (SH) and 0.109 when the shear plane is on the
threads (T). LumberLok Structural Connector Screws have a bending yield
strength of 180,000 psi.
SH

Installation:
Screws are self-drilling.
Install using a low speed clutch drill with T20 Torx bit. The washer head
should be flat to the surface. Do not over-tighten the screws.
Installing the screw at an angle may introduce additional bending and tension
forces into the fastener if the screw head is not flat to the bearing surface. Care
should be given to ensure the fastener is installed perpendicular to the plane of
the fastener hole.

Copyright 2013 USPStructural Connectors

Mechanical anchor expanded into a hole that has been undercut at the
bottom using an undercutting drill bit creating a true bearing type anchor
that performs like a cast-in-place headed anchor. Load is transferred into
the concrete through bearing, not friction like traditional expansion
anchors. Excellent performance in seismic and dynamic loading
conditions. Meets ACI 318-02 Appendix D requirements as a code
anchor, including seismic loading, tension zone, and cracked concrete
provisions.

Installation:

Drill the hole to


proper depth
and diameter
per specifications using
rotohammer
and stop drill.

Clean the
hole using a
blow-out bulb
or compressed
air.

Insert the
undercut bit
and start the
rotohammer.
Undercutting is
complete when
the stopper
sleeve is fully
compressed
(gap closed).

Clean the hole


again using a
blow-out bulb
or compressed
air.

Insert anchor
into hole. Place
setting sleeve
over anchor
and drive the
expansion
sleeve over
the expansion
coupling.

Verify that the


setting mark
is visible on
the threaded
rod above the
sleeve.

The Wedge-Bolt+ anchor is a


one piece, heavy duty screw
anchor with a finished hex
head. It is simple to install, easy
to identify and fully removable.
The Wedge-Bolt+ has features
and benefits that make it well
suited for many applications.
The steel threads along the
anchor body tap into the hole
during installation to provide key
engagement. Suitable base
materials include normal-weight
concrete, structural sand-lightweight concrete, concrete over
steel deck, concrete masonry
and solid clay brick. The anchor
is designed for structural loading in cracked and uncracked
concrete.

Spread sill flanges to mudsill width prior to insertion into wet concrete
(minimum strength of 2,000 psi or 13.8 MPa). Alternate installation is
possible by inserting unbent flanges through 3/4 center hole predrilled in
mudsill. Foundation anchors may also be attached to mudsill and then
inserted into wet concrete. When installing ST2-TZ into concrete block, fill cells
with grout with a minimum strength of 2,000 psi or 13.8 MPa. Concrete block
edges may need to be beveled to facilitate installation.
ST2-TZ in masonry construction shall be installed in the core of the block and
grouted with concrete grout designed for that purpose. In no case, shall they
be installed in a mortar joint.

1) Beams must fully bear on plates.


2) Factored bearing resistances on concrete are based on factored bearing stress perpendicular to the grain of 460 psi and
actual beam width times beam bearing length.
3) The 115% values are short-term loads such as wind and earthquake and are based on bolt in wood values only.
Factored resistances assume concrete or masonry structure is adequate to resist loads in those directions.
4) Factored resistances must be be reduced if the allowable lateral load (F2) for masonry or concrete column governs.
5) Designer shall specify minimum edge and spacing requirements in masonry or concrete structure.

Holdowns TD & TDX series


TD Different welded configurations and sizes achieve a great deal of versality within the
TD series.
TDX The TDX2 and TDX5 feature formed designs, all others are welded. All are
self-jigging. All models, except TD2, TD5, and TD7, feature a self-jigging design with
code required end distances built in. (End distance = 7 bolt diameters from the top
of the sill to the center of the first bolt hole in the studs or post.)

Holdowns

Installation:
Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.
Do not use lagbolts. Washers are not required for anchor bolts or between holdown and bolt
hex head, but standard washers should be used against stud or post under the nut. See page
20 for BP/LBP Bearing Plates.
Bolt holes should be a minimum of 1 32 to a maximum of 1 16 larger than the bolt diameter.
See pages 31-32 for STB Anchor Bolt section for anchorage options. A design
professional may specify alternate anchorage with conventional anchor bolts.
A design professional shall determine the adequacy of the stud to resist published loads. When
installing to multi-ply 2x studs, the designer must specify the fasteners required to bind the plies
together and resist splitting.
Self-jigging models are designed to provide the required minimum end distance of 7 bolt
diameters from the bottom of the stud or post to the centerline of the first bolt hole.
Tighten anchor bolt nuts to finger tight, plus 1/3 to 1/2 additional turns with a wrench. Wood
members may shrink over time; if possible, nut tightness should be checked periodically. To
prevent loosening of the anchor bolt nut during critical loading, use a locking nut or tighten a
second nut over the first to lock nuts in place.
If used to anchor a built-up post, such as a double 2 x 4, the post component shall be designed
to act as a single unit. Holdown fasteners specified shall not be considered to attach multiple
plies together.

Sources of Deflection at the Shearwall Holdown Connections


The following are some of the sources of deflection that should be
evaluated by the designer. See the illustration, which applies to other
holdown configurations.

A. Improperly-sized stud/post bolt holes increased bolt slip can occur if


stud/post bolt holes are oversized and exceed the NDS recommended bolt
hole diameter.

D. Eccentricity in stud/post caused by holdown


holdowns installed on only one side of a stud or post result in an eccentricity
which causes increased stresses and movement in a shearwall system.

E. Nut spin anchor bolt nuts that are not restrained can spin loose during
cyclic loading, allowing movement; the use of steel nylon locking nuts or
thread adhesive may prevent nut spin.

Bearing
Plates

B. Stud/Post bolt holes bolt slip can occur.

C. Wood crushing at stud/post bolt hole perimeters


the use of larger washers/ bearing plates can reduce stress-induced wood
crushing at bolt bearing locations.

F. Loose nuts increased movement can occur when nuts are not
sufficiently tightened.

G. Holdown deflection holdown deflection can occur when the shearwall


system is subjected to cyclic stress from earthquakes or high wind.

H. Wood Shrinkage due to drying, wood may shrink and cause bolted
connections to become loose; periodic retightening may be required.

I. Localized crushing at wood-bearing surfaces


excessive crushing at wood-bearing surfaces may result from compressive
forces due to overturning during high wind or earthquake loading.

Foundation Straps LSTAD & STAD series

The coined dimples below the embedment line allow for increased concrete bonding. These holdowns retain
high uplift capacity even when installed at corners of foundation stemwalls. Ideal for use with built up 2x end posts.
LSTAD 14 gauge one-piece design allows labor effective installation without holdowns.

STAD 12 gauge design.

RJ after the model indicates LSTAD or STAD for rim joist applications as in STAD8RJ.
Rim joist models provide for a 17 clear span without the loss of strap nailing.

46

Materials: LSTAD 14 gauge; STAD 12 gauge


Finish: G90 galvanizing
Codes: Load values are derived from data submitted to various
North American building code evaluators.
Installation:
Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.
The bottom (2)nails are for form board attachment only and do not contribute to fastener schedule requirements.
Embed holdown in concrete to the embedment line (bend line).
See illustrations for requirements on rebar, edge distances, and clear spans.
Bending the strap horizontally 90 to facilitate wall placement may cause concrete behind the embedded strap to
break away at the top edge (spalling). If the spall is 1 or less from the top edge of the concrete, no load reduction
is necessary. If the spall is between 1 and 4 the allowable load is 0.90 of the published chart load.
When installing on lumber less than 31/2 wide, wood splitting may occur. To reduce splitting, use 10 d x 11/2 nails
or fill every other hole with 16 d common nails. Reduce allowable loads per code requirements accordingly.
These straps do not secure concrete sections together at cold joints; take other measures to transfer the load. If
there is a cold joint between slab and foundation, the minimum embedment must be made into the foundation.
Fastening opportunities may be reduced because the slab pour level may be higher than some nail holes. Using
fewer fasteners will reduce allowable loads. Reduce allowable load by the code capacity for each fastener not
installed.
To achieve full table loads the minimum centre-to-centre spacing is twice the embedment depth (IE) when
resisting tension loads at the same time.
Where fewer fasteners are used in the structural wood member, reduce loads according to the code.
There may be an increase in the amount of deflection if the strap is installed on the outside of the sheating,
versus directly to the framing members.
Strap may be bent one complete cycle to aid installation.

Foundation Straps HPAHD & PAHD42


Designed to anchor wood framing to poured concrete foundations.

NEW

Installation:
Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.
Bending the strap horizontally 90 to facilitate wall placement may cause
concrete behind the embedded strap to break away at the top edge (spalling).
If the spall is 1 or less from the top edge of the concrete, no load reduction is
necessary. If the spall is between 1 and 4, the allowable load is 0.90 of the
published chart load.
When installing on lumber less than 312 wide, wood splitting may occur. To
reduce splitting, use 10d x 112 nails or fill every other hole with 16d common
nails. Reduce factored resistances in accordance with code requirements.
Straps are to be installed at the edge of concrete. Install prior to pour by nailing
to form. Drive temporary nails through lowest two nail holes into form. Concrete
level should reach embedment line; minimum embedment depths are listed in
chart.
Do not rely on these straps to secure concrete sections together between cold
joints; take other measures to transfer the load. If there is a cold joint between slab
and foundation, the minimum embedment must be made into the foundation.
Fastening opportunities may be reduced because the slab pour level may be
higher than some nail holes. Using fewer fasteners will reduce factored
resistances. Reduce factored resistance by the code capacity for each fastener
not installed.
Factored resistances based on a minimum concrete compressive strength of
2,500 psi at 28 days, with one #4 horizontal rebar in the shear cone. Rebar should
be a minimum length of 2x embedment depth plus 12 (see chart for exceptions in
corner installations).
Where fewer fasteners are used in the structural wood member, reduce loads
according to the code.
There may be an increase in the amount of deflection if the strap is installed on
the outside of the sheathing, versus directly to the framing members.
Strap may be bent one complete cycle to aid installation.

installation
Installation:
Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.
Factored resistances are based on either nail fastening or bolt fastening; nail and bolt values
cannot be combined.
Install by inserting product into footings wet concrete. All models require a 6 embedment into
concrete foundations. Courses of concrete block must be laid over connector. Notch mudsill at
connector locations. Wrap strap over rim joist and fasten.
Do not rely on these straps to secure concrete sections together between cold joints; take other
measures to transfer the load. If there is a cold joint between block and foundation, the minimum
embedment must be made into the foundation.
Based on product embedment the exposed number of fastener holes may be reduced. Using
fewer fasteners will reduce allowable loads. Reduce factored resistance by the code prescribed
factored resistance per fastener, for each fastener not installed.
Factored resistances are based on a minimum concrete compressive strength of 2,000 psi at
28 days.

Multi-Purpose Framing Angles MP34, MPA1 & MPF series


MP34 Framing angle without tabs.

MPA1 Tabs enable two and three-way connections.

MP4F Connects 2x framing with floor sheathing up to 5/8.

Lateral Joist Connectors LJC-TZ & LJQ-TZ series


The LJC-TZ and LJQ-TZ Lateral Joist Connectors transfer lateral loads at the top foundation to the floor joists. The fastening
patterns meet I-joist manufacturer recommendations.

LJC-TZ fastens the top side of the sill plate to the underside of the floor joist preventing splitting of the bottom chord flanges,
and can be installed after the floor system has been installed. The product is load rated for use with dimension lumber floor
joists as well as I-joist. It can also be used with cantilevered floor joists.

LJQ-TZ is a higher capacity connector designed for higher loads. It is similar in design to a joist hanger with a seat for the
floor joist to bear against and utilizes wood screws to fasten to the sill plate. USPs WS15-GC Wood Screws (included) provide
quick installation without the need to pre-drill holes.

Installation:
Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.
LJC-TZ Installs after the floor joist has been placed with a minimum of (12) 8d x 1-1/2 HDG nails.
LJQ-TZ Installs with (4) USP WS15-GC Wood Screws. WS15-GC Wood Screws are 1/4 diameter x 1-1/2 long and are
included with LJQ-TZ connectors.

Slant Nail Joist Hangers HUS, JUS, & MUS series

Copyright 2013 USPStructural Connectors

The HUS, JUS, & MUS hanger series offers double shear nailing. USPs dimple allows for
30 to 45 nailing through the joist into the header resulting in higher loads and less
nailing. Slant nailing also eliminates the need for shorter joist nails in 2x applications.

Codes: Load values are derived from data submitted to various North
American building code evaluators.

Installation:
Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.
Joist nails must be driven at a 30 to 45 angle through the joist or truss into the
header to achieve listed loads. Standard length double shear nails must be used to
achieve listed load values.
JUS & MUS 16d sinkers (9 gauge x 314 ) may be used where 10d commons are
specified with no load reduction.

Installation:
Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.
Joist nails must be driven at a 30 to 45 angle through the joist
or truss into the header to achieve listed loads. Standard length
double shear nails must be used to achieve listed load
values.
If installing in top mount configuration, field bend top flange over
header.
16d sinkers (9 gauge x 3 1/4) may be used where 10d common
are specified with no load reduction.

Masonry Hangers MPH series


These hangers are designed to support standard lumber joists,
I-Joists, or beams. Easy installation into concrete block walls makes the
MPH an attractive alternative to fabricating seats in masonry (or
attaching ledgers) to support joists or beams.

Install with (2) 16d


duplex nails in
grouted cells

Typical MPH
single ply installation

Installation:
Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.
16d duplex nails are not supplied with MPH hangers.
Place hanger into position on top of concrete block. Install (2) 16d duplex
nails (8 gauge or 0.162 dia. x 312 double head) through the top flange
nail holes. Then continue laying the next course of block.
A minimum of one course shall be laid over hanger top flange and one
course below hanger top flange. Courses adjacent to the top flange shall
be subsequently grouted.
These products do not provide uplift resistance.

Wood I-Joist Installation to Wood


Sloped I-Joists

Use sloped seat hangers 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.

Multiple I-Joist Plies


I-Joist Rotation

It may be necessary to install straps, blocking, or sheathing to


restrain torsional rotation of a supporting wood I-Joist when
using top mount I-Joist hangers.

Install only the specified nails. The flanges of wood


I-Joists may split if larger diameter nails or longer nails are
installed. Do not install nails larger than 16d common wire nails
(0.162 diameter) into the web stiffeners in the wood I-Joist.

Backer Blocks

Pattern the nails used to install backer blocks or web


stiffeners in wood I-Joists 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 I-Joist acting as the header, or
supporting member. Install in accordance with the I-Joist
manufacturers installation guidelines. The nails used to
install hangers mounted to an I-Joist header must penetrate
through the web and into the backer block on the opposite
side.

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 that the top mount hanger is installed so the flanges of the hanger are not
over-spread which tends to elevate the supported I-Joist causing uneven floor surfaces and squeaking. Similarly, ensure that
the hanger is installed plumb such that the face flanges of the hanger are mounted firmly against the
wide-face surface of the header.

Common Nailing Errors

! Wrong Angle

Always secure
wood I-Joist using
10d x 1 1 2
nail driven at a
30 to 45 angle
and firmly seated

116

When a nail is driven into the bottom flange of the wood


I-Joist parallel to the glue lines, separation of veneers can
occur which substantially reduces the design loads of the
connection.

! Nail Too Long

When using nails longer than USPs recommended nails,


bottom flange splitting may occur. Also, this can raise the
wood I-Joist off the seat, resulting in uneven surfaces and
squeaky floors along with reduced factored resistance.

1-800-328-5934 www.USPconnectors.com

EWP Hangers

Hangers for joists without web stiffeners must support the


I-Joists top flange and provide lateral resistance with no
more than 1 8 horizontal deflection.

(Top flange support requirements can be verified in this sections charts under the Web Stiffener Reqd. column.)

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 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.

1/4
(6.35
mm)
Max.

Avoid direct contact between


hangers and steel beams, which
may cause squeaks

Wrong Nailer Size Causes Component Failure

1/4 ( 6.35mm) 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
Loading can cause cross grain
breaking of nailer. The
recommended nailer overhang
is 1 4 maximum per side.

1-800-328-5934 www.USPconnectors.com

! Too Thin
Top flange nailing cannot fully
penetrate nailer, causing reduced
factored resistance. Never use
hangers which require multiple face
nails since the factored resistance
are dependent on all nail holes being
used.

EWP Hangers

Top Mount hangers BPH, TFI, TFL, & THO series


TFI & THO Engineered for I-Joist to header applications. Offers full lateral
support of the I-Joist top chord, eliminating the need for web stiffeners in most
applications. Raised dimple nailing guides help assure correct 45 nailing into the
I-Joist bottom flange. The THOs feature the Seat Cleat that allows for quick,
positive seating. The Seat Cleat will hold the I-Joist in place, eliminating spring
back during nailing in the bottom flange.
TFL Features 11/2 top flange depth that accommodates all header types as well
as back-to-back installations. Also features USPs Seat Cleat for quick, positive
seating.

Installation:
Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.
Refer to the top mount chart for applications requiring web stiffeners.
Requirements for web stiffener from the I-Joist manufacturer should be followed,
even if web stiffeners are not required in USP literature.

Top Flange Hangers MPH, PHM & PHXU series

MPH Designed to work with standard 6 or larger grouted concrete block wall construction. Eliminates
the need for masons to fabricate special seats to support I-Joists or composite wood beams.

PHM & PHXU Used to connect LVL, LSL,and PSLbeams to headers in medium load conditions
using standard nails.

Codes:

See EWP Top Mount Hangers charts, pages 128-142.


USP primer; PHXU G90 galvanizing
See Speciality Options Chart on page 127.
Load values are derived from data submitted tvarious
North American building code evaluators.

Installation:
Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.
For MPH series: 16d duplex nails are not provided. Place hanger on top of concrete block. Install
(2) 16d duplex nails (8 gauge or 0.162 dia. x 312 double head) in the grouted cavity, and then
continue laying the next course of block. Larger holes on top flange are provided to aid grout flow. A
minimum of one course must be laid over hanger top flange and one course below hanger top
flange. Courses adjacent to the top flange shall be subsequently grouted.
For PHM & PHXU welded installations, see page 213.

1) Factored uplift resistance has been increased 15% for short-term loads such as wind and earthquake; reduce for other load durations in accordance with the code.
2) When I-joist is used as a header, all nails must be 10d x 1-1/2.
3) Masonry compressive strength shall be minimum 1500 psi for MPH hangers.
4) Some listed factored resistances may be increased for short-term loading. Refer to code evaluation reports for USP Structural Connectors for details.
5) Minimum nail embedment shall be 8 nail diameters (typ.).
6) NAILS:! " "! " "!

Triple Zinc galvanizing
Options: LSSH210 and LSSH31 are available in Triple
Zinc. To order, add TZ to stock number, as in
LSSH210-TZ. LSSH15 and LSSH210 are
available in Stainless steel. To order, add SS
to stock number, as in LSSH210-SS.
Codes: Factored resistances are derived from data
submitted to various North American building
code evaluators and are in accordance with
CSA O86-09.
Installation:
Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.
Steps:
1. Position LSSH connector against plumb-cut end of rafter joist.
Fasten joist side flanges with 10d (0.148") x 11/2 nails.
Bend seat up to fit against joist bottom and drive
(1) 10d (0.148") x 11/2 nail through bottom seat into rafter
bottom. Drive (2) 10d (0.148") x 11/2 nails at downward
angle through dimpled nailing guides.
2. Lean connector and rafter end against ridge beam at desired
position. Install 10d (0.148" x 3") or 16d (0.162" x 3 1/2) 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 outside flange to desired angle.
4. Hammer outside flange until edge touches header. Fasten
outside flange to ridge by driving 10d (0.148" x 3") or
16d (0.162" x 3 1/2) nails through nail holes.
Web stiffeners are required for all wood I-Joist installations.

Options: See Specialty Options Chart.

Installation:
Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.
WS structural screws supplied with connector.
Substituting with lag screws will reduce capacity.
Beams comprised of multiple plies must be laminated
to act as a single member.
Multi-ply carrying beams may require additional connection
of laminations at connector.

EWP Hangers

LGU, MGU, and HGUs are high capacity girder to girder face mount
connectors. Fastening is by WS structural screws for ease of
installation. Fastenings are placed high on the connector to permit the
connection of a deep carried member to a shallower carrying member.
Very useful where tops of beams must be flush.

Severely Skewed Hangers MSSH series

USPs MSSH217 hanger accommodates a skew range of 60 to 85 (30 maximum off


the girder) without the need for a more expensive custom design hanger. Face nail to
webs or bend the flange strap over the chord. Available in left (L) or right (R)
configurations.
Materials: 18 gauge
Finish: G90 galvanizing

MSSH217L
Left shown
attached
to web and
top of chord

Installation:
Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.
The 3 lower holes on each strap are for top nailing when the strap is bent over the truss
chord. These holes are not for face nailing.
One or both straps may be bent over the bottom chord of the girder with top or
MSSH217R
backside nailing.
Right

Note: Select the correct (right or left) hanger so that the strap on the outside of the angle
attached
to webs
will pass the end of the truss. When facing the hanger, the strap in the rear turns in the
direction of the skew. The front strap turns to pass behind the end of the carried member.
8 holes for
Attach the hanger at the end of the truss with a single 10d x 1 12 nail into the side flange

The strap inside the angle can be formed over diagonal webs (if design allows) or bend
Pocket nail
over the girder chord. Use two nails into the top and/or back side of the girder.

For uplift resistance, other means of attachment are required. If both the truss and
Optional
girder have vertical webs, attach a scab to pack out the girder web nearly flush with the truss

Uniform Load condition (side-loaded onto a 2-ply truss):
To transfer uniform loads to the second ply, the FTC clips shall be
installed at a regular interval along the loaded chord. Spacing
between clips is limited to 24" maximum.
Divide the clip capacity by half of the required load per lineal foot
(PLF) to determine the spacing between clips.
Example:
Uniformly distributed load = 500 PLF. FTC1 capacity (DF-L) = 1245 lbs

Supplementary Bearing Plates SBP series


Use the SBP instead of extra truss plies or nail-on scabs to
distribute concentrated truss reactions and avoid top plate crushing.
The two-piece design accommodates any number of girder plies. A
wraparound design gives superior uplift resistance, and reinforcement
ribs effectively distribute bearing loads. Works with both single and
double 2x4 or 2x6 top plates.

Truss Brace & Spacer (StabilizerTM)


The Stabilizer Truss Brace & Spacer provides temporary construction bracing in
the roof and ceiling planes, as well as permanent lateral bracing for webs as
specified by your truss engineering.

24 o.c.

Odd
Spacing

The Stabilizer is easily installed by embedding the patented MII 20 teeth on the
top flange straight into the edge of the truss member to be braced with a framing
hammer. The side tabs are then secured by driving the teeth into the face of the
truss member being braced.

Temporary Construction
Bracing Installation

Installation:
Use 31-16 for standard 16 o.c. spacing and 31-24 for standard 24 o.c. spacing.
For odd spacing, cut and insert a solid block between the trusses.
Typically, The Stabilizer is installed at 6 8 centres along the roof plane and
10 15 along the ceiling plane. (Refer to engineering specifications BCSI 1-03,
published by The Truss Plate Institute for specific bracing requirements.)
The Stabilizer must be supplemented with diagonal bracing in the roof and ceiling planes and cross bracing in the web plane at required intervals.
Web forces are not to exceed 8000 lbs.
The Stabilizer is properly installed when the top flap and side tabs are flush
with the member being braced.

25 1/4

31-24 Stabilizer

Important: The erection contractor is responsible for determining and


installing the temporary bracing for the structure, including the trusses. It is
most important for the installer to provide adequate means for bracing the first
truss installed. The performance of the entire bracing system depends on the
adequacy of the ground bracing or other means of bracing the first group of
trusses installed. The building designer is responsible for the permanent
bracing design of the overall structure including the truss. This includes the
design of required supplemental diagonal and cross bracing.

Truss Spacers TS & TSX series


Truss spacers give framers fast and accurate spacing for
trusses, rafters, or floor joists. The TS and TSX eliminate the
need to mark layouts on bearing plates, improve installation
speed, and help eliminate spacing errors. These spacers are
light weight and compact.

Copyright 2013 USPStructural Connectors

Materials: See chart


Finish: G90 galvanizing
Codes: Load values are derived from data submitted to
various North American building code evaluators.
Installation:
Use specified fasteners in models with fastener requirements.
MBG May be installed before or after sheathing. Position the
unbent end of the bridging unit near the top of the joist and drive
prongs into wood with a hammer blow to the heel of the bent end.
Wedge bent end near the lower edge of the opposite joist, set teeth
into wood with hammer blow. Nail holes are provided at the bent
end if prongs are damaged during installation. Fully seat nails to
avoid any movement against the bridging and subsequent floor
noise.
MB16 Two-piece unit is shipped as one piece. Bend unit in
center up and down to break into two pieces. Slide narrower piece
inside wider piece, setting the end tab into slot appropriate for joist
spacing. Setting one prong end near the top of one joist and the
opposite prong end near the bottom of the opposite joist, pull down
on the center of the bridging until the wider piece snaps into place
over the narrow piece and creates a rigid, one-piece bridging unit.
Wear gloves during installation.

Deck Clip DC50


Connects deck boards to joists without face nails or screws. Eliminates rust stains on decks, as
well as splintering or wood rot caused by screw or nail craters. The DC50-TZ works like tonguein-groove flooring and is easy to install. Raised dimples on the clip provide consistent spacing
between deck boards.

Copyright 2013 USPStructural Connectors

Materials: 20 gauge
Finish: G-185 galvanizing

Installation:
Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.
Fits 1 1/8 or thicker decking.
Fasten the first deck board onto the joists by toenailing up through the joist below into the deck
board. Be sure no sharp points protrude above the deck surface. For subsequent deck board
rows, nail DC50-TZs onto the deck board edge, positioned 2 from each joist. Slide the deck
board along the joist until the DC50-TZ lip is under the previously laid deck board. Toenail the
deck boards exposed edge to the joist. Repeat until decking is completed. The last deck board
will require toenailing up from below to secure the outside edge.

Joist

1). Use 10d x 3 HDG nails


to toenail both edges of first

Perfect for unexpected job site shortages. The 35-pound dispenser pack fits
easily into a truck bed for transport. Pre-embossed snap-off points can be
broken off by hand (wear gloves for safety).
WB A flat style bracing engineered to easily nail to studs. No cutting or fitting
needed.

Copyright 2013 USPStructural Connectors

WBC The L-shaped design for additional strength and rigidity.

WBT Rolled edges and T-style design gives the WBT strength, rigidity, and
eliminates sharp, sheared edges.

Typical RWB, WB
installation

Materials: See chart


Finish: G90 galvanizing
Codes: Load values are derived from data submitted to
various North American building code evaluators.

Installation:
Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.
Bracing is a framing aid, not a substitute for structural shearwall components.
RWB & WB Use with 16 or 24 o.c. studs. Install in pairs forming an X or
opposing V at each end of a maximum 25-foot long wall panel.
Steps: Square the panel. Straighten any kinks in bracing caused by handling.
Lay bracing on the panel flush to the top of top plate and flush to the
bottom of the bottom plate. Secure bracing to the top plate and bottom
plate using 16d nails (WB) or 8d nails (RWB). Position second bracing at
an angle opposite to the first brace to form an X and secure to top and
bottom plate as with the first bracing. Using 8d nails, secure bracing to all
intersecting studs.
WBC & WBT Use with 16 o.c. studs. Install one brace at each end of wall
section, not exceeding 25 feet, in an opposing V pattern. Use a length of the
bracing as a straight web to mark studs. Cut a saw kerf 5 8 deep (1 deep for
WBC). Insert the bracing web into the saw kerf, and drive one nail into the top
plate. Raise the wall section into place and plumb. Finish
fastening according to the nail schedule.

Fence Post Connectors SFP & SMP series


Take the work out of fence post installation and repair with the
Speedpost, SFP30, and Speedmender, SMP. The Speedpost is used to
install 4 x 4 fence posts without digging post holes or pouring concrete.
The Speedmender plates act as reinforcement brackets for rotted or
damaged fence posts.
SFP30 For 6 nominally sized 4 x 4 fence posts.
SMP Available for nominally sized 4 x 4 posts.
Materials: 13 gauge
Finish: Paint

30

Miscellaneous

SFP :
1. Using a wood block, hammer theSpeedpost into the ground with
moderate but firm blows.
2. As the Speedpost is driven in, use a level to check positioning.
3. When the underside of the post box reaches the ground, insert the
post in the socket and secure using enclosed (3) Hot-dip galvanized
screws.

SMP :
1. Remove fencing materials which interfere with SpeedMender
installation.
Concrete Installation: Remove dirt to expose existing concrete,
allowing SpeedMender to be driven into the concrete (concrete
should be intact or the broken pieces removed) alongside the post
where it emerges from the concrete.
Ground Installation: Dig into dirt 6-8 around post. This will provide
a cavity for concrete to be added after SpeedMender is installed.
2. Place tip of SpeedMender against post where it enters the ground.
Hold the top of the SpeedMender at a slight angle to the post to
begin driving.
3. Use a sledge hammer to strike the wedge on the SpeedMender,
positioning it along the face of the post. Once started, force top of
SpeedMender against the post and continue driving until the wedge
enters between ground or concrete and post.
4. Nail SpeedMender to the post using 10d galvanized nails. Optional:
1/2 diameter bolt may be used to bolt SpeedMender for additional
support.
5. Install SpeedMender on opposite side following above directions.
Concrete Installation: If conditions permit, extra support is possible
by pouring additional concrete into the hole around post and
SpeedMender.
Ground Installation: Pour concrete into hole around post and
SpeedMender. Allow concrete to set before reattaching previously
removed fencing material.

Concealed Stringer Hanger CSH-TZ


The CSH-TZ concealed stringer hanger provides a method of connecting
a stair stringer with a hidden hanger. The seat of the hanger is adjustable
to match the slope of the stair stringer. The reversible design allows the
connector to be used on the left, right, or interior stringers. The CSH-TZ
may be used with USPs SCA Stair Angles for a complete, easy-to-use stair
framing solution.

Typical CSH -TZ


installation

Installation:
Use all specified fasteners. See Products Notes, page 10.
Bend angle only once.

Steps:
1. Attach CSH-TZ to header with tabs positioned towards the inside of the
stringer member.
2. Adjust the seat of the CSH-TZ to match the slope of the stringer
member. Diamond shaped holes in the connector allow temporary
installation of woodscrews to aid in installation of the CSH-TZ.
3. Install 10d x 1 1/2 HDG nails into the stringer and header members.

Stair Angles SCA series

Copyright 2013 USPStructural Connectors

Stair angles simplify stair construction. There is no need to calculate and notch
stair stringers. Stronger and safer than wood blocking, and the angle and
fasteners are hidden from view.

Materials: 12 gauge
Finish: G-185 galvanizing;
SCA9-GC Gold Coat
Codes: Load values are derived from data submitted to
various North American building code evaluators.
Installation:
Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.
Use the SCA9-TZ or single 2x10 stair treads.
Use the SCA10-TZ for double 2 x 6 stair treads.
To calculate stair construction do the following:
1. Find the number of steps needed by taking the vertical drop from the deck surface grade. Divide by 7. Round off to the nearest whole number. (Ex: Vertical drop
of divided by 7 equals 5.57 rounded off is 6)
2. Find the step rise by dividing the vertical drop by the number of steps (39
divided by 6 = 6.5)
3. Find the step run by measuring the depth of your treadboard (Ex: (2) 2x6s
have of 1114)
4. Find the stairway span by multiplying the run by the number oftreads minus
one (Ex: 1114 x 5 = 5614)
Using the above calculations, mark stair angle locations on each stringer. Attach
a stair angle to the inside of each stringer at the marked locations. Attach stringers
to deck rim joist and railing posts. Position treadboards on angles and fasten from
below.

Hardy Frame HFX-Series Panels and Brace Frames


combine the most desirable properties for a shear wall:
strength, stiffness and ductility. This revolutionary system
has been tested and evaluated under the ICC-Evaluation
Service AC322 Acceptance Criteria and has been proven
to provide the highest allowable shear loads in the
industry combined with abundant ductility for a seismic
R value of 6.5. Along with its superior engineering
properties the HFX-Series is easier than ever to install,
is code listed for varied installations that include support on a floor system and vertical
stacking conditions. Anchorage solutions include standard grade or high strength
grade for maximum values

Hardy Frames introduced the first standardized, pre-manufactured Moment


Frame in 2006. Since then we have produced thousands of Moment Frames that
have been successfully installed. These
Moment Frames have maximum structural capacities combined with the open
architectural aesthetics that designers
and architects need today.
Hardy Frame Moment Frames are
Special Moment Resisting Frames
(SMRF) that use the pre-qualified
SidePlate moment connection. Typically,
our Moment Frames are delivered to the
jobsite in one-piece, completely fabricated and ready to be installed with no
assembly, no field welding and no special
inspection required.
On production framing jobs the Hardy
Frame Moment Frame cant be beat. We
have delivered truckload quantities of up
to 30 Moment Frames that were installed
in a single day. That is an accomplishment that can not be matched by conventional moment frames.

Hardy Frames Special Moment Frame (SMRF)

Custom Sizes and Custom


Calculations

We offer over 300 standard dimension


Moment Frames, but we dont stop there.
We also offer calculations and solutions
for sizes that are beyond the scope of our
standard listing. We commonly provide
solutions for two-story and multi-story
frames as well as for fixed based connections. Please note that standard dimensions can be adjusted without being treated as a Custom Order. Our typical lead
time of 3-4 weeks does not increase and
neither does your cost.

Moment Frame
Template Kits

Template Kits are included with the purchase of the Hardy Frame Moment
Frame and are a stock item that can be
shipped within one business day. The
Kit includes all embed anchors, nuts,
washers and Templates so the concrete
pour can proceed prior to the Moment
Frame delivery. Correctly locating the
anchors is easy with a slot provided in
the Template to measure the Win,
(inside steel-to-steel) dimension.
Inquiries are welcome and we will be
available when you need our support.

QUICK CONNECT ASSEMBLY

Z4 Continuous Rod Tie-Down Systems utilize Z4 Cinch Nuts


to compensate for wood shrinkage and building settlement
that cause connections to loosen over time. The Cinch Nut
uses a self-ratcheting action that permits threaded rods to
move, or travel perpetually in one direction only through the
device. Available for installation with threaded rods that are
5/8 inch through 1-1/2 inch diameter in 1/8 inch increments,
the Z4 Cinch Nut has been code evaluated and published in
ESR-2190.

ROOF RAFTERS

Customer Service

Hardy Frame-Z4 offers comprehensive technical support,


design of tie-down systems to meet engineered loads and
delivers products packaged and labeled for easy identification
in the field.
For the Design Professional Z4 provides pre-engineered
standard runs as well as individual component capacities to
design custom runs. We also offer turn-key, sealed designs
when engineered loads are provided to us.

Building Officials will be confident approving our systems


because they assemble with code evaluated components that
have an ESR listing.

Quick Connect
System for Wind
Uplift

For resisting roof uplift loads


resulting from wind the Z4
Cinch Nut is installed over a
Bearing Plate above the top
plates with roof framing
above to create a tie-down
system. Uplift forces are
transferred into a continuous system of threaded
rods and coupling nuts that
form a load path to the
foundation.

For the installer, our products will arrive on time and be


packaged systematically for easy identification of parts and
sequence of assembly. We offer typical installation details,
immediate telephone support and personal training is available
from a sales or customer service representative.

To resist tension loads due


to overturning moments in
multi-story buildings the Z4
Cinch Nut is installed over a
Bearing Plate at each level
in a fast and easy Quick
Connect application. At the
upper-most level a Cinch
Nut is installed over a
Bearing Plate above the top
plates. At walls below that
bear on wood floor systems
the Cinch Nut and Bearing
Plate is installed over the
bottom plate. Tension loads
are gathered at each level
and transferred into the
foundation through a
continuous system of Cinch
Nuts, Bearing Plates,
threaded rods and coupling
nuts, all available from
Hardy Frame Z4.

The information listed only applies


to hangers manufactured by
USP Structural Connectors and
installed
according
to
the
instructions listed in this catalogue.
Some of the options listed may not
have been evaluated on a single
hanger. The designer must always
evaluate each connection, including
the joist and header capacities,
before specifying a specialty
connector. USP sloped hangers are
manufactured with the plumb cut of
the joist already calculated. If a
hanger with a different height is
needed, it must be specified at the
time of ordering.

Materials: Steel gauge may vary


from that specified depending on
the
specialty
option
and
manufacturing process used. Some
formed hangers may be welded
when modifying the hanger. Hanger
configurations, fastener schedules,
and height may vary from the tables
depending on the joist size, skew,
and slope.

Finish: See specific hanger option


tables. Welded hangers are painted
with USP gray primer. Custom
hangers available in Hot-dip
galvanized, use HDG after product
number.
Factored Resistance: For multiple
options for the same connector, use
the most conservative reduction to
give the lowest design load.

Installation:
Fill all nail holes with fasteners
specified in the tables.
Fastener quantities may increase
from the amount listed in the tables
depending on hanger option.
NA16D-RS and NA20D nails are
supplied with hangers.
For type A skewed hangers, the
end of joist must be bevel cut; for
type B skewed hangers, the end of
joist must be butt-cut.

I-Joist hangers reveal the I-Joist sizes to be
used with the specific hanger. This guide will
teach you how to recognize I-Joist dimensions
in the part numbers.
1st, 3 rd, and sometimes 4 th digits are
whole numbers
(This example denotes 2 and 11)
4 th digit may be part of a decimal
ex.: THO16925

TFL 23118

2 nd and 5 th digits are decimals


(see guide below)
(This example denotes .3125

Note: USPs Full Line Catalog lists a range of
heights for THF hangers. Face mount hangers
can usually accommodate more than one
I-Joist height. The hanger height must be tall
enough to support the top chord of the I-Joist
to eliminate web stiffener requirements on
solid sawn or joists with web stiffeners. The
THF hanger must be a minimum of 60% of the
joist height.
