Wood Construction Connectors

NEW PRODUCTS FOR 2011

Strong-Drive SD ScrewNow there is a new fastening option for Simpson Strong-Tie connectors the new Strong-Drive SD Structural-Connector screw. Featuring an optimized shank specifically designed for use with our connectors, the SD screw has been tested and approved as a replacement for nails in some of our most popular products. See pages 29-30 for more information and the list of approved connectors.

AHEP

Adjustable Hip-End Purlin

The innovative AHEP serves as an installation aid as well as a structural purlin for step-down hip trusses in both wood and cold-formed steel applications. Accurately spacing and laterally restraining the flat section of truss top chords during installation, the AHEP remains in place to serve as a structural purlin, saving time and material cost. See page 148 for more information.

CTS218

Compression and Tension Strap

Our first strap to handle both compression and tension, the CTS is designed to repair wood members such as top plates, studs and trusses. The unique rolled-edge design allows it to span gaps as wide as 412" while still fitting on the narrow face of 2x lumber. See page 190 for more information.

THJM

Multiple Truss Hip Jack Hanger

Available in four- and five-seat versions, the new THJM provides an innovative method to carry radial-end jack framing without a welded hanger. Now the multi-plane, angled bay roofs over dining nooks and library alcoves can be constructed with added ease and efficiency. See page 142 for more information.

SDW

Structural Wood Screw

Simpson Strong-Tie is proud to introduce our first screw specifically designed to join multi-ply wood members: the SDW wood screw. Ideal for fastening multi-ply trusses, engineered-lumber products and solid-sawn lumber, the SDW installs easily with no predrilling and allows efficient single-side fastening. See pages 128-130 for more information.

C-2011 2011 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE COMPANY INC. PRINTED 12/10


NEW PRODUCTS FOR 2011PAB

Pre-Assembled Anchor Bolt

The PAB Pre-Assembled Anchor Bolt offers innovative design enhancements over traditional anchor-bolt designs. The plate washer at the embedded end is sandwiched between two fixed hex nuts to ensure the integrity of the anchor before the pour, and the information on the head stamp simplifies inspection. See page 41 for more information.

HDB

Holdowns

Now there is a bolted holdown that offers the low-deflection performance of our pre-deflected holdowns: the HDB. Suitable for installation on or above the sill plate as well as back-to-back and compression applications, the HDB is ideal for shearwalls, braced wall panels and lateral applications. See page 54 for more information.

THASR/L

Adjustable/ Skewable Truss Hangers

The THASR/L hangers provide height adjustability and field skewability, eliminating the need for a special-order truss hanger in many applications. Shipped at a 22 right or left skew, they can be field skewed up to 75. See page 137 for more information.


TSBR

Truss Spacer-Restraint

For wood and cold-formed steel framing, the new TSBR Spacer Restraint reduces time and material cost while satisfying the prescriptive recommendations of the WTCA/TPI BCSI. Featuring an easier minimum nailing option, the TSBR captures the on-center truss spacing and alignment and remains in place to be sheathed over, eliminating the need to remove wood bracing and creating a safer, and more stable work platform for sheathing crews. See page 149 for more information.

ABL

Anchor Bolt Locator

The new ABL Anchor Bolt Locator enables the quick and secure placement of anchor bolts on concrete-deck forms prior to the pour. The steel chair ensures the code-required 1" standoff and also features a structural heavyhex nut attached to the bottom to eliminate the need for a bottom nut on the anchor bolt. See page 44 for more information. 11

HOW WE DETERMINE ALLOWABLE LOADSAllowable loads in this catalog are determined using calculations and/or one or more of the following methods: a minimum of 3 static load tests in wood assemblies; a minimum of 3 static load tests in steel jigs; a minimum of 3 static load tests of products embedded in concrete or masonry. Where available, testing is performed to test criteria established by industry (ASTM or ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria) or if unavailable testing is per sound engineering principles. Some tests include only portions of a product such as purlin anchor testsonly the embedded hook is tested, not the nailed or bolted section of the strap, which is calculated. Testing to determine allowable loads in this catalog is not done on connection systems in buildings. Testing is conducted under the supervision of an independent laboratory. Typically the allowable load is limited to the lowest of 18" deflection, test ultimate/3 or calculation value. For detailed information regarding how Simpson Strong-Tie tests specific products, contact Simpson Strong-Tie.

CORROSION INFORMATIONUnderstanding the IssuesMetal connectors, anchors, and fasteners will corrode and may lose loadcarrying capacity when installed in corrosive environments or exposed to corrosive materials. There are many environments and materials which may cause corrosion including ocean salt air, fire retardants, fumes, fertilizers, preservative-treated wood, dissimilar metals, and other corrosive elements. The many variables present in a single building environment make it impossible to accurately predict if, or when, significant corrosion will begin or reach a critical level. This relative uncertainty makes it crucial that specifiers and users be knowledgeable of the potential risks and select a product coating or metal suitable for the intended use. It is also important that regular maintenance and periodic inspections are performed, especially for outdoor applications. It is common to see some corrosion on connectors especially in outdoor applications. Even stainless steel can corrode. The presence of some corrosion does not mean that load capacity has necessarily been affected or that a failure will occur. If significant corrosion is apparent or suspected, then the wood, fasteners and connectors should be inspected by a professional engineer or general contractor and may need to be replaced. Preservative-treated wood formulations have changed significantly and some of the new formulations are more corrosive to steel connectors and fasteners than the traditionally used formulation of CCA-C. Simpson Strong-Tie testing has shown that ACQ-C, ACQ-D (Carbonate) and CA-B treated woods are approximately 2 times more corrosive than CCA-C, while SBX-DOT (Sodium Borate) treated woods were shown to be less corrosive than CCA-C. Refer to technical bulletin T-PTWOOD for more information (see page 215 for details). 18 Due to the many different preservative formulations, fluctuating retention levels, moisture content, and because the formulations may vary regionally, or change without warning, understanding which connectors and fasteners to use with these materials has become a complex task. We have attempted to provide basic knowledge on the subject here, but it is important to fully educate yourself by reviewing our technical bulletins on the topic, and also by viewing information and literature provided by others. This information pertains to Simpson Strong-Tie connectors only. For corrosion information on other product lines, such as fasteners, see the specific Simpson Strong-Tie product line catalogs. Additionally, because the issue is evolving, it is important to get the very latest connector information on the topic by visiting our website at www.strongtie.com/info. Stainless steel is always the most effective solution to corrosion risk. However, it is also more expensive and sometimes more difficult to obtain. To best serve our customers, Simpson Strong-Tie is evaluating the options to identify the safest and most cost-effective solutions. Based on our testing and experience there are some specific applications that are appropriate for ZMAX/HDG or G90 connectors (see chart on page 19). Because increased corrosion from some newer preservative-treated wood is a new issue with little historical data, we have to base our recommendations on the testing and experience we have to date. It is possible that as we learn more, our recommendations may change, but these recommendations are based on the best information we have at this time.

See www.strongtie.com/info for additional critical information.


CORROSION INFORMATIONGeneral Simpson Strong-Tie Recommendations Outdoor environments are generally more corrosive to steel. If you choose to use ZMAX or HDG finish on an outdoor project (i.e. deck, patio cover), you should periodically inspect your connectors and fasteners or have a professional inspection performed. Regular maintenance including waterproofing of the wood used in your outdoor project is also a good practice. For wood with actual retention levels greater than 0.40 pcf for ACQ, 0.34 for MCQ, 0 1 pcf for CA-B, 0.15 pcf for CA-C and MCA or 0.14 pcf for CA-C (Ground Contact), stainless-steel connectors and fasteners are recommended. Verify actual retention level with the wood treater. When using stainless-steel connectors, use stainless-steel fasteners. When using applications require the use of ZMAX/HDG galvanized connectors, use fasteners with a coating that meets the specifications of ASTM A153 or equivalent coating offered on Simpson Strong-Tie fasteners. Testing indicates wood installed dry (moisture content less than 19%) reduces potential corrosion. If dry wood is used, see our website for additional information. Using a barrier membrane can provide additional corrosion protection, see technical bulletin T-PTBARRIER (see page 215 for details). Due to the many variables involved, Simpson Strong-Tie cannot provide estimates on service life of connectors, anchors or fasteners. We suggest that all users and Designers also obtain recommendations for HDG, ZMAX (G185), mechanically galvanized, or other coatings from the treated wood supplier for the type of wood used. However, as long as Simpson Strong-Tie recommendations are followed, we stand behind product performance and our standard warranty (page 23) applies.

Guidelines for Selecting the Proper Connector1 Evaluate the Application.Consider the type of structure and how it will be used. These recommendations may not apply to non-structural applications such as fences.

5 Compare the treated-wood suppliers recommendationwith the Simpson Strong-Tie recommendation.If these recommendations are different, Simpson Strong-Tie recommends that the most conservative recommendation be followed.

2 Evaluate the Environment.Testing and experience indicate that indoor dry environments are less corrosive than outdoor environments. Determining the type of environment where a connector or fastener will be used is an important factor in selecting the most appropriate material and finish for use on the connectors and fasteners. To help in your decision making, consider the following general exposure information: Interior Dry Use: Includes wall and ceiling cavities, and raised floor applications of enclosed buildings that have been designed to ensure that condensation and other sources of moisture do not develop. Exterior Dry: Includes outdoor installations in low rainfall environments and no regular exposure to moisture. Exterior Wet: Includes outdoor installations in higher moisture and rainfall environments. Higher Exposure Use: Includes exposure to ocean-salt air, fire retardants, large bodies of water, fumes, fertilizers, soil, some preservative-treated woods, industrial zones, acid rain, and other corrosive elements. Type 316 stainless steel contains slightly more nickel than other grades, plus molybdenum, giving it better corrosion resistance in high-chloride environments.

Simpson Strong-Tie recommendations are as follows:Low = Use standard painted and G90 galvanized connectors, or Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive screws (SDS) with the double-barrier coating, as a minimum. Med = Use ZMAX/HDG galvanized connectors as a minimum. Use HDG fasteners which meet the specifications of ASTM A153, Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS screws with double-barrier coating, or Strong-Drive SD screws with mechanical galvanization, class 55. High6 = Use Type 303, 304, 305 or 316 stainless-steel connectors and fasteners.

3 Evaluate and select a suitable preservative-treated wood forthe intended application and environment.The treated wood supplier should provide all the information needed regarding the wood being used. This information should include: the specific type of wood treatment used, if ammonia was used in the treatment, and the chemical retention level. If the needed information is not provided then Simpson Strong-Tie would recommend the use of stainless-steel connectors and fasteners. You should also ask the treated-wood supplier for a connector coating or material recommendation.

Simpson Strong-Tie testing and experience to select the connector finish or material.

If a preservative-treated wood product is not identified on the chart, Simpson Strong-Tie has not evaluated test results regarding such product and therefore cannot make any recommendation other than the use of stainless steel with that product. Manufacturers may independently provide test results or other product use information; Simpson Strong-Tie expresses no opinion regarding any such information.

1. Wood with actual retention levels greater than 0.40 pcf for ACQ, 0.34 for MCQ, 0.21 pcf for CA-B, 0.15 pcf for CA-C and MCA or 0.14 pcf for CA-C (Ground Contact). 2. Borate treated woods are not appropriate for outdoor use. 3. Test results indicate that ZMAX/HDG and the SDS double-barrier coating will perform adequately, subject to regular maintenance and periodic inspection. However, the nationally-recognized test method used, AWPA E12-94, is an accelerated test, so data over an extended period of time is not available. If uncertain, use stainless steel. 4. Some treated wood may have excess surface chemicals making it potentially more corrosive. If you suspect this or are uncertain, use stainless steel. 5. Type 316 stainless-steel connectors and fasteners are the minimum recommendation for ocean-salt air and other chloride environments.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION & GENERAL NOTESCODESCode Reference Column in Load TablesThe alpha-numeric Code Reference numbers that appear in the Code Reference column in load tables throughout this catalog are intended to identify products listed in evaluation agency reports, typically called code reports, and the specific reports that cover them. The letter designates which evaluation agency from which the report was obtained. The Code reference column, used in conjunction with the chart at right, indicates which code listing applies to a product. The reference numbers also clearly identify: Products submitted for evaluation report listing (160) Products with no evaluation report listing (170) Products not submitted because they have no load rating and an evaluation report listing is not necessary (180) Products that meet prescriptive or conventional construction code requirements (190) Where a model has been submitted for listing (160) or does not have an evaluation report listing (170), Simpson Strong-Tie can supply complete test data to support our published loads. Please contact us for a copy of our product test documentation at (800) 999-5099. Product acceptance may be obtained through the Alternate Methods and Materials section of the applicable building code. Some loads and applications may not be covered in the code report and specific reductions and restrictions may be required by other product evaluation agencies. Visit www.strongtie.com or visit the product evaluation agencies web sites for the current evaluation reports. Simpson Strong-Tie connectors are recognized by most product evaluation agencies. Agencies that recognize some or all of our products include ICC-ES (formerly ICBO, BOCA, SBCCI); IAPMO ES; the City of Los Angeles, California; and State of Florida. Multiple types of ICC-ES evaluation reports are shown in the Code Reference Key Chart. ICC-ES NER, ICC-ES ER, and ICC-ES ESR reports are referred to as Legacy Reports and have been obtained over the years to verify that Simpson Strong-Tie products are in compliance with the code. These Legacy reports were evaluated under the 1997 UBC and/or the 2000 IBC codes. In order to obtain evaluation for the newer I-codes, manufacturers must submit for ICC-ES ESR reports. Simpson Strong-Tie currently maintains nearly 40 ICC-ES ESR reports evaluated to the 2006/2009 IBC and IRC. We continue to submit product information to ICC-ES in order to receive additional reports in compliance with these codes. To help understand which of our stamped and welded connector products are listed in an ESR report, we have obtained an ICC-ES index evaluation services report, ICC-ES ESR-2523, for these products. This report is a reference document to other ESR reports held by Simpson Strong-Tie and will be updated frequently by ICC-ES as new stamped and welded connector evaluation services reports are issued or converted. Please visit www.strongtie.com for the latest information or contact ICC Evaluation Services at www.icc-es.org. IAPMO Evaluation Service has been evaluating products for over 80 years and has the same ANSI accreditation as ICC Evaluation Services for evaluating structural building products to the building codes. IAPMO ES began evaluating structural building products in 2004, utilizing licensed structural engineers to perform quality reviews, and currently are reviewing many other manufacturers products. Please visit www.strongtie.com for the latest information or contact IAPMO Evaluation Services at www.iapmoes.org. In November 2007 the Department of State Architecture, California, issued a revised IR 23-1. The Revised Interpretation of Regulation addresses and clarifies issues relating to Pre-fabricated Wood Construction Connectors. IR 23-1 defines the Purpose and Scope and clarifies Listing Requirements, Acceptable Load Capacities, Design Requirements, Installation Requirements and Connector Fabrication which addresses corrosion resistant material and/or coatings. Please contact the DSA at www.dsa.dgs.ca.gov/Publications/default.htm for more information. On October 1, 2003, the State of Floridas Statewide Product Approval System became effective. The purpose of this system is to provide a single product evaluation and approval system that applies statewide to operate in coordination with the Florida Building Code.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION & GENERAL NOTESGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DESIGNER (cont.)to Pre-engineered Metal Connectors and ASCE 16. The Guideline contains a soft-conversion procedure that can be used to derive reference lateral resistances. o. For joist hangers Simpson Strong-Tie recommends the hanger height shall be at least 60% of joist height for stability. p. For cold-formed steel applications, as a minimum all screws must comply with Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Standard J78, Steel Self-Drilling/Tapping Screws, and must have a Type II coating in accordance with ASTM B 633, Electrodeposited Coatings of Zinc on Iron and Steel. Screw strength shall be calculated in accordance with 2001 AISI NASPEC Section E4, if applicable, or shall be based on the manufacturers design capacity determined from testing. q. Local and/or regional building codes may require meeting special conditions. Building codes often require special inspection of anchors installed in concrete and masonry. For compliance with these requirements, it is necessary to contact the local and/or regional building authority. Except where mandated by code, Simpson Strong-Tie products do not require special inspection. r. Holdown and Tension Tie allowable loads are based on installations with an anchor rod length of 6" from the concrete to top of holdown seat, yet these products may be raised to any height with consideration of the increased deflection due to additional bolt elongation. For cases where the anchor bolt is offset, Simpson Strong-Tie offers recommendations, subject to the approval of the Designer, which permit holdowns to be raised up to 18" maximum with a corresponding horizontal anchor bolt offset of 1 12". See General Instructions for the Installer (page 22 note q). s. Throughout the catalog there are installation drawings showing the load transfer from one element in the structure to another. Additional connections may be required to safely transfer the loads through the structure. It is the Designers responsibility to specify and detail all necessary connections to ensure that a continuous load path is provided as required by the building code. t. Top flange hanger allowable loads are typically based on testing with solid headers. Load reductions may apply when using headers comprised of multiple plies of dimensioned lumber or SCL. See T-MPLYHEADER for more information (see page 214 for details).
