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 USP’s website.
4) To achieve the allowable loads presented in this catalog, 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.
5) Some connector models are listed more than once to indicate installation and/or fastener options.

American Forest and Paper Association. Load values presented in this catalog may not match those presented in previous publications. The values shown in this catalog supercede those previously printed.
Testing
On all structurally-rated products, USP performs full-scale testing in accordance with ICC-ES, AC13, or ASTM D 1761, the standard recognized by all
omestic code agencies. All final testing is conducted by
d a third-party testing laboratory.
Material
USP Structural Connectors®are manufactured
from prime quality steel which meets ASTM A 653 requirements for galvanized steel, and ASTM A 1011, or ASTM A 36 for hot-rolled steel.
Finish
All galvanized products have a zinc coating as specified in ASTM A 653. Hot-dip galvanized parts are galvanized after fabrication per ASTM A 123.
Non-galvanized steel products are prime coated.
All standard galvanized products manufactured after January 1, 2005 will be made from G90 material.
Product Design Loads
The design loads listed are the lowest results obtained by one of the following methods:

Allowable Stress Increase Design Values
There have been recent changes in the model building codes which affect the published design loads in this catalog, as well as other USP catalogs. Historically,
ome design codes permitted the use of a one-third-
s stress increase on steel allowable stress design values
hen resisting load combinations including wind and
w seismic loads. Many states have recently adopted model building codes which in some cases do not allow you to take this stress increase. The table below shows which building codes do and do not allow a one-third-stress increase on steel.

2003 IBC No 1997 UBC No Yes 1612.3.1, 1612.3.2
The code, however, does allow for a load duration factor, which increases the allowable wood stress. This is referenced in the National Design Specification
for Wood Construction which is referenced by
NDS®)
( the model building codes. Load duration factors of
.15, 1.25, 1.33, and 1.6 are utilized for construction,
1 snow, wind, and seismic loads. For this reason the tables in the catalog contain columns with allowable loads listed for the different load duration factors. It is important to note that the load duration factor is not related to or affected by the recent changes in the steel allowable stress increase.
As stated previously, removing the increases on allowable steel stresses has affected the capacity of some of our products. These products include many of our strap ties and strap-type anchors. For these products where a decrease in the allowable steel stress controls the published value, the capacity of the product, the published value reflects this. No additional reduction is necessary. In addition, to match the lower capacity of the connector, the minimum number of nails required has been reduced in many cases.

Special Fastening Features
Seat Cleat™ Prongs – U.S. Patent #5,564,248
USP’s TFL, THO and THF I-Joist hangers feature the patented Seat Cleat™ prong. The Seat Cleat™ allows framers to “pop” I-Joists into hanger seats for a positive bearing lock. This prevents spring back during nailing, reduces post installation I-Joist movment, and eliminates connector related floor system noise (if hangers are installed according to
s specifications).

Slant Nailing via Dimple Nail Holes – U.S. Patent #5,217,317
USP’s Dimple Nail Holes are used to indicate the need for slant nailing. Unlike tabs, the dimple retains its shape better under misguided hammer strokes and cannot be bent or broken. The Dimple Nail Hole also allows for correct 45° angle placement in I-Joist hangers.
Diamond Holes
Diamond Holes are used to indicate either an optional fastening pattern or for optional, temporary nailing to aid installation.

Corrosion Resistant Finishes
USP Structural Connectors™ offers three options for improved corrosion resistance:
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 153.
Required Fastener: Hot-dip galvanized 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

Connector Use with Preservative Treated Wood
Recently the wood preservative manufacturers have
egun using Alkaline Copper Quat (ACQ) and Copper
b Azole (CA-B) as replacement chemicals for CCA in
ome applications. The results of our corrosion testing
s have shown that ACQ and CA-B preservative
reatments tend to corrode steel at a greater rate than
t the CCA. fasteners, installed in corrosive environments to corrosive materials, or chemicals, can be possibly resulting in the reduction of load values.
In general, connectors, including
anchors and
or exposed
damaged,
USP recommends the use of stainless steel connectors for maximum corrosion protection. However, as an economical alternative, Triple Zinc G-185 connectors may be used to provide a minimum level of corrosion protection with the new wood preservatives. Standard G90 connectors should not be installed in potentially corrosive environments.
Corrosion is a multifaceted phenomenon dependent on many variables. Most of these variables are related to the environment the steel is placed in. These variables include, but are not limited to, exposure to ocean air or salt spray, chemicals used in fire retardant and preservative treated wood, acid rain, agricultural chemicals and fertilizers, animal wastes, swimming pool chemicals, and even common outdoor exposure with alternately wet and dry conditions. Of course, there are many more possible corrosive environments not mentioned here.
Galvanizing the steel, or coating it with a sacrificial layer of zinc, is the most widely used protective system in our lumber connector industry. Galvanized coatings have a proven commercial history under a wide range of environmental conditions.
• Ask for and follow recommendations of the reservativewood treater for use of connectors and
p fasteners in contact with their brand of treated wood
roduct.
p
• Connectors and their fasteners should always be of
ike materials.
l
• USP’s Zinc dichromate
WS Wood Screws are not recommended for use with preservative or fire-retardant treated wood.
• For any questions contact USP Technical Assistance or visit our web site at
www.USPconnectors.com.
• USP clearly differentiates our Triple Zinc products from standard G90 products. USP’s
TZ product identification is embossed on all Triple Zinc products. Following are examples of our Triple Zinc carton labels, bin cards for retail displays, and individual product labels.

Zinc G-185 contains roughly three times the
amount of zinc as G60 galvanizing. This provides additional protection against corrosion attributed to the new wood preservatives. Unfortunately, we are unable to predict the service life of particular connectors in selected environments. We can, however, provide a relative level of protection information regarding corrosion resistance. From this we can provide guidance for the selection of corrosion protection based on the anticipated environmental conditions.
Here are some Guidelines to follow:
• Potential for corrosion should be a part of the connector selection criteria.
• USP
recommends the use of stainless steel connectors for maximum corrosion protection. However, as a minimum, Triple Zinc G-185 connectors may be used as an economic alternative for corrosive protection with the new wood preservatives.

The WS Wood Screw is a self-drilling screw used for numerous framing
pplications. This screw features a reverse locking serration on the
a
ottom of the screw head to prevent over tightening against a steel
b plate which could cause the screw head to shear off. The USP head stamp identifies screws for easy inspection.
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 217,000 psi. For conditions not charted here, screw loads may be calculated as shown in the current NDS® and increased for duration of load.

Fasten together multiple plys of wood I-Joists, in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation guidelines, such that the joists act as a single unit.
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.
Fasteners
I-Joists may split if larger diameter nails or longer nails installed. Do not install nails larger than 16d common

B
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 manufacturer’s 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.
Install only the specified nails. The flanges of wood
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.

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.
Avoid direct contact between
hangers and steel beams, which
may cause squeaks.
