IMPORTANT INFORMATION

GENERAL NOTESThis catalogue reflects changes in the allowable loads and configurations of some Simpson Strong-Tie® products. This catalogue is effective until 31stDecember 2006 and supercedes all information in earlier publications of products shown. Information on safe working loads and configurations is updatedperiodically. After 31st December 2006, contact Simpson Strong-Tie® for the most current product information.Allowable loads in the catalogue are forthe 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 steelinformation on specific products.

c. Unless otherwise noted, dimensions are in millimeters (mm) and loadsare 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 thebend 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 splitsto determine if the connection will perform as required. Dry wood maysplit more easily and should be evaluated as required. If wood tends tosplit, consider pre-boring holes with diameters not exceeding 75% of the nail diameter.

g. Timber shrinks and expands as it loses and gains moisture, particularlyperpendicular to grain.

h. Take wood shrinkage into account when designing and installing connections. Simpson manufactures products to fit common drytimber 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 orremoving 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) whichwould jeopardise the connection.

l. Some model configurations may differ from illustrations shown. Contactfactory for details.

m. Fill all fastener holes with fastener types specified in the tables, unlessotherwise noted. When nailing options are noted, the fasteners must bethe correct type and location to obtain full loading.

n. Hanger options—some combinations of hanger options have not beenevaluated. In some cases, combinations of these options may not beinstallable. Horizontal loads induced by sloped joists must be resisted by other members in the structural system. A qualified designer mustalways evaluate each connection, including the carried and carryingmember limitations, before specifying the product.

o. All references to bolts are for structural quality through bolts. Bolts toconform to BS EN 20898-1 and washers to BS4320.

a. All specified fasteners must be installed according to the instructions foreach connector. Incorrect fastener quantity, size, type, material, or finishmay 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 correctnumber 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 strengthmortar per British Standard.

f. Hangers into masonry walls must have the minimum specified height ofmasonry above the hanger, with the mortar fully cured, before load isapplied. 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.

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 BMTRADA Certification Q-Mark are based on testing and analysis carried outby TRADA Technology Ltd. (TTL). This work was conducted using themethods and criteria developed by TTL under a joint Government/Industrysponsored research project intended to develop a British Standardmethod 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 ServiceClasses 1 and 2.

d. Loads from Germany were in accordance to DIN design criteria and testassessment required for Zulassung certification by the Institute fürBautechnique.

e. Some products in this catalogue are designed, tested and evaluated in accordance with U.S. industry standards including: 1997 National Design

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 thebreaking strength divided by 3 or the load at which the carried memberreaches 3mm deflection with respect to the carrying member.

f. Wood shear is not considered in the loads given; reduce allowable loadswhen 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 inwriting 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 crossgrain tension or bending of timber if not sufficiently reinforced. In thiscase, mechanical reinforcement should be considered.

Connectors are steel and will corrode and lose load-carrying capacity ifexposed to ocean salt air, corrosive fire-retardant chemicals, fertilizers, orother substances that adversely affect steel.

In corrosive environments, especially for connectors that are not exposed torain or periodic washing, deterioration will occur at a faster rate. The servicelife of galvanized connectors in a temperate marine environment can be greatly

improved by homeowner maintenance. Fasteners of comparable materialshould be used to install the product.

Pressure-preservative treated and fire-retardant wood can be caustic to zinccoated (or galvanised) steel. Galvanised connectors should not be placed incontact with treated wood that has not been properly air-seasoned or properly kiln dried. See material supplier for specific recommendations.

HANGER MATRIX OPTIONS

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

Testing is performed using a standardised hanger test method. The joist inthe test set up may include a certain amount of structural stability. Headerand other attached structural; members are assumed fixed in actual installa-tions. Horizontal loads, induced by sloped joists, must be resisted by othermembers in the structural system.

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

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

INSTALLATION: Fastener quantities may be increased beyond the amountspecified in the standard hanger table. Fill all holes with the table specifiedfastener type.

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

SFH/SFHI/SFWH/SFWHI SAFETY FAST MASONRYRESTRAINT HANGERS

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

• 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.

• 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.

• 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+Z600SFWH and SFWHI—2.5mm mild steelMiniStrap—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.

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. The materials can then be evenly distributed around the floor manually, ensuring hanger or joist SWL’s are not exceeded.

1. Safe Working Loads (SWL’s) are based upon tests conducted by CERAM Building Technology Ltdand are determined in accordance with EN 845 and BS 6178.

2. Hanger SWL’s are achieved without masonry above the top flange.3. The block thickness must be the same as the top plate width.4. The lateral capacity exceeds that provided by traditional straps placed at 2m centres.5. 3.75 x 30 refers to a galvanised square twist nail (not supplied with hanger).

Typical SFJC305/50Installation

SFJC225/50



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

The SFJC is designed to be used where timber joists are built into a masonryexternal 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.

• 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 inaccordance with the joist manufacturers instructions and/or standard con-struction practice to ensure temporary stability of the floor joists.

• 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.

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.

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.

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 NoHilti 12mm X-EDNI steel pins fired through the holes provided in the topflange of the hangers onto 4mm thick steel plate. Other pins may be usedprovided 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.

JOIST HANGER WITH ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT STRAP

JHA270 Adjustable HangerEPC Patent Pending (FR) (DE) (GB)

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.

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 attachmentmust 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 maximumnailing load capacity is not needed. The nails used for the joist attachment must be driven at an angle so thatthe 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 joistnails according to the table. A minimum wrap over of 55 mm is required.

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

• LUP’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.• Innovative new hanger to the UK.• Precision formed and engineered for fast installation and maximum loads.• Speed prongs are curved steel for extra strength.• One hit positions the hanger for header nailing.• Prongs into the joist eliminate the need for special short nails to hold the joist into the hanger.

MATERIAL: 1.0mm pre-galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+Z275.

INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. • Speed prongs provide instant location of the hanger onto the carrying beam and secures the

joist into the hanger. If joist prong is deflected and bent on a knot, simply use a 3.75 x 30 nail or equal through that slot.

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

The MH is a one piece galvanised hanger available in a range ofwidths for light duty applications such as trimmers and ceiling joists of rectangular section.• Suitable for use with solid headers.• Tab on seat ensures easy and accurate placement.• Tab has easy bend feature when not required.• Fully tested on a range of solid headers.

MATERIAL: 1.0mm pre-galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004Dx51D + Z275.

INSTALLATION:• For solid headers fill all round and triangular holes 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 isrequired to the top of the carried member.

• Provides an aesthetically attractive connection for exposed beams.

MATERIAL: TU—3.5mm pre-galvanised mild steel; Dowels-mild steel.

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

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 gapbetween 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.

Typical ITT/MIT Installation onTimber Nailer mounted onto

Steel Beam

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 nailsvertically 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.

MATERIAL: ITT—1.2mm pre-galvanised mild steel; MIT—1.5mm pre-galvanised mild steel.

INSTALLATION: • Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table.

• Face flange triangle hole (optional) secures hanger against header; optional diamond hole in seat allows further attachment of hanger to I-joist.

• ITT’s bend-tab may be nailed unbent into plywood web stiffeners.

OPTIONS: Because these hangers are fully die-formed, they cannot be modified.However these models will normally accommodate a skew of up to 5°.

• The ITT hanger can be shot fired to steel. Contact Simpson for details.• The shot fired pins must be installed by a qualified person in

accordance wiith the manufacturer’s installation requirements.• Pins must be installed in the round holes provided in

the top flange of the ITT.

Typical BI Hanger Installation (LBV similar)

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.

MATERIAL: LBV—2.0mm pre-galvanised mild steel; BI—2.5mm pre-galvanised mild steel.

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.

LBV is acceptable forweld-on applications.

sWPU/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 toprevent degradation of the header due to splitting of laminations.

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

FINISH: WPU—Hot-dip galvanised; GLTV—Hot-dip galvanised.

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

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=skewedright, 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.

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.

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

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.


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 additionaldownload 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.

SIMPSONStrong Tie®

Typical IUT Installation Typical MIU/HIU Installation with correct PAN installation

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.

MATERIAL: IUT—1.2mm; MIU—1.5mm; HIU—2.0mm pre-galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+Z275.

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.

OPTIONS: Because these hangers are fully die-formed, they cannot be modified. However these models will normally accommodate a skew of up to 5°.

Bend tab into the bottomflange and fasten with

3.75X30 nails when webstiffeners are not used to

help reduce floor squeaks.

• 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.


INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.• Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table.• 75mm or 90mm nails must be driven at 45° into joist dome or pan nails holes, through carrying member

and into the carried member to achieve the table loads.

I-JoistHangers

THAI ADJUSTABLESTRAP HANGERS

• 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.

MATERIAL: THAI—1.2mm; THAI-2—2.0mm pre-galvanised mild steel.


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 thesupport. Install nails into each strap at the face surface of the hanger and 3.75 x 30mmnails 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).

2. SWLs are for composite wood members of C24 or better. Reduce loads to 86% of the table’s loads for C16 timber.3. LSU35010-2 factory skewed, field sloped.

This versatile range of products attaches joists/rafters to timber supports at any slope, up or down or at any skew, left of right up to and including45o. All models are slope and skew adjustable on site, excluding theLSU35010-2.

Now, with these site adjustable hangers, you can always have the righthanger available for those special rush projects.

MATERIAL: LSSU410—1.5mm, all others 1.2mm pre-galvanised mild steel.

INSTALLATION: • Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.• Bend only once.• To ensure proper seat installation, install the bottom nails before the side

nails.• Attach the sloped joist at both ends so the horizontal force developed

by the slope is fully supported by the carried members.• Web stiffeners are required with I-joists using this hanger style.• For field skewing, see LSSU INSTALLATION SEQUENCE.

THA250 ADJUSTABLETRUSS HANGERS

• THA are a one piece, non-welded, joist hanger for supporting trussed rafters and 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.

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 thehammer sideways. The nail is supported at the side of the hanger and at the supportingtimber 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.



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 properlyinstalled. Install the quantity of face nails shown into the straps for full table load and forthe 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, 75mmnails 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.

• LUS, HUS and HGUS are a one piece, non-welded, joist hangerfor supporting mono trusses and girder trusses from timbermembers.

• Double shear nailing allows distribution of the carried member’sload through two points on each nail for greater strength (see illustration). It also allows fast installation with fewer nails,using common nails for all connections.

• HGUS Girder Hangers and HUS hangers are tested by TRADA Technology Inc. The HUS carry the TRADA Q-Mark certificate. See General Notes for further information.

• One hit of the speed prong on some HUS and LUS models positions the hanger for header nailing (not required).

MATERIAL: LUS—1.0mm; HUS—1.2mm; HGUS—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.• 75mm or 90mm nails must be driven at 45° into joist

dome or pan nail holes, through the carrying memberand into the carried member to achieve the table loads.

• The TC allows lateral movement of scissor trusses up to 30mm duringinstallation of roofing materials and resists uplift forces. Typically used onone or both ends of the truss as determined by the truss designer.


INSTALLATION:• Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. • Drive 3.75 x 75 nails into the truss at the inside end of the slotted holes

(inside end is towards the center of the truss). Do not seat these nails intothe truss—allow room under the nail head for movement of the truss withrespect to the wall.

Optional TC26 Installation• Bend one flange up 90°. Drive specified nails into the top and face of the

top plates. See optional load tables and details below.

Designed to provide ties for trusses and rafters likely to be subject to highwinds, this versatile range may be used for general purposes, strongbackattachments and as all-purpose ties where one timber crosses another. H2.5and H4 may be installed in pairs to achieve twice the stated safe workingloads. Where the truss thickness is less than 63mm install diagonally across from each other, as shown in the illustration below.

The H4 has a unique shape that requires fewer nails. The design allows forinstallation on the inside of the wall plate without interfering with the gypsumboard or for installation on the outside of the wall plate without interfering with the cladding material.

MATERIAL: H2.5—1.2mm; H4—0.9mm pre-galvanised mild steel.

INSTALLATION: Use all the specified fasteners. See General Notes. • H2.5 and H4 ties are shipped in equal quantities of separate rights and lefts.• Protruding nails should always be clinched.

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.

FINISH: H, HTFA, LTFA and L—Z300 pre-galvanised, edge coated; HRS and LRS—Z275 pre-galvanised

INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. • The flat face of the rolled strap must be against the timber. • Horizontal lateral restraint straps should be spaced 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 nailsfor roofs and two into each joist for floors. The bend length should be a minimumof 100mm and should be positioned at the centre of an uncut block or brick.

• 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 number of fixings should be in accordancewith the design requirements and the lowest fixing should be located within 150mmof the bottom of the vertical strap.

To Order: Specify model series, overall length, bend (B) dimension and /or twist (T) dimension.

Example: 30 x 5 strap that has an overall length of 1m, a bend at 10cm and a twist at 20cm. (See illustration for detail on measuring bend & twist dimensions).

Typical HLHS15 Horizontal Installation

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.

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 thusreduces 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.


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 roundnails 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.

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 CrackControl Wall Starter assists any movement to take place where the new wall joins the existingwall. 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: 0.7mm stainless steel to BS EN 10088/2 Grade 1.4301.

Mild Steel Profiles: 0.8mm pre-galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+Z275.

Stainless Steel Ties: 1.5mm stainless steel to BS EN 10088/2 Grade 1.4301.

Mild Steel Ties: 2.0mm mild steel to BS EN 10327:2004 DX51D+Z275 with Delta Coating.

Sleeves: 1.0mm PVC.

Coach Screws: M6 x 50mm stainless steel or galvanised.

Masonry Plugs: High density polythene.

FINISH: Stainless steel or pre-galvanised mild steel with black epoxy coated powder finish.

INSTALLATION: • Offer one wall starter length to the lower wall surface. 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 isreached, 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.

SOUND RESISTANCE:As stated within the Approved Document E 2003 - Resistance to the Passage of Sound - wall ties used in external and separating cavity walls have to have a minimum value of dynamic stiffness to reduce the transmission of airborne noise. Ties are separated into Type A and Type B.• Type A: Can be used in separating walls and external walls subject to them also having the required structural

capacity. They can be butterfly ties or other ties with a dynamic stiffness of less than 4.8 MN/cu.m• Type B: Can only be used in external cavity walls subject to them also having the required structural capacity.

They can be butterfly ties or other ties with a dynamic stiffness of less than 113 MN/cu.m

MATERIAL:

Insulation Clip: Black plastic.

INSTALLATION:

For cavity walls with a leaf thickness of 90mm or more, unless otherwise specifiedplace 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 cavitywidths this is usually increased.

When using insulation batts, it may be necessary to reduce the horizontal tie spacing to 600mm centres.

Installation for Pre-Formed Archframes

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

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 shouldbe 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 thesame 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 asshould 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.

Mild steel DX51D galvanised to Z275 is NOT suitable for external applications. Stainless Steelshould only be used in external applications with the appropriate cement based renders.

BRITISH STANDARDSRelevant 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.

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.

• Beads should be fixed in accordance with one of the following methods.

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)

• Avoid damage to beads when trowelling plaster or render.
