Construction Product
Regulations
CE Marking and Construction Connectors From the 1st July 2013 the Construction Product Regulations (CPR) became compulsory in the UK. All construction products covered by the CPR, sold after this date must comply with it. It is the distributors responsibility to ensure that it sells products which comply with the CPR. The only way for you to show compliance with the CPR is to CE mark the product. Simpson Strong-Tie® has CE marked more than 350 product ranges to ensure that this is the case. Any connectors manufactured by us since March 2013 onwards meet the needs of CPR.

Simpson Strong-Tie® Connectors for Timber and Masonry Construction
Eurocode 5: The New Design Method
The Background In 1985 a “New Approach to Technical Harmonisation” was introduced through the European Commission (EC). A list of Directives was formulated for a wide range of product types e.g. electrical goods and toys.
Simpson Strong-Tie’s range of products is mainly covered by the following European Standards and ETAG’s which have been used as the basis for capacity determination and CE Marking:
One of these Directives was the Construction Products Directive (CPD). In 1988 the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) commenced preparation of Harmonised Standards for a number of product types.
BS EN 845-1: Specification for Ancillary Components for Masonry ETAG015: Three Dimensional Nailing Plates BS EN 14592: Timber Structure - Dowel Type Fastener Requirements BS EN14545: 2D Nailing Plates BS EN 13658-1: Metal Lath and Beads - Platering BS EN 13658-2 Metal lath and Beads - Rendering BS EN14353: Metal Beads - Gypsum Plaster Boards ETAG001: Metal Anchors for use in Concrete
The standards define the requirements to determine suitability of the products for use under the Construction Products Directive. They also make provision for CE Marking of products to demonstrate the product conforms to the Essential Requirements of the CPD. Harmonised Standards have not been developed for all products but it is possible to obtain European Technical Approvals (ETA) when a European Technical Approval Guideline (ETAG) exists.
As of July 1st 2013, Construction Products Regulations came into force in the UK and Ireland.
Design Methods European Design Standards, Eurocodes, have also been developed which supersedes the existing national design codes. The Eurocodes which impact on the Simpson Strong-Tie range of products are:
In timber design the duration of loading also influences the design capacity and a modification factor is applied dependent on the duration. These modification factors are also dependent on the materials being used.
EN1993 Eurocode 3 Design of Steel Structures EN1995 Eurocode 5 Design of Timber Structures EN1996 Eurocode 6 Design of Masonry Structures
The Simpson Strong-Tie range of products are generally connected to either Solid Timbers or LVL materials, which utilise the modification factors kmod shown in the table below.
C-UK14 © 2014 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE COMPANY INC.
Eurocode 5 introduces limit state design principles to structural timber design in the UK for the first time. This requires the designer to use characteristic values for the product capacities. The characteristic capacities (or resistances) are modified by partial safety factors to arrive at design capacities. These factors generally increase the loads and decrease the capacity.

Simpson Strong-Tie® Connectors for Timber and Masonry Construction
Eurocode 5: The New Design Method
The Background This catalogue generally presents characteristic resistances for timber to timber connectors as Unmodified Characteristic Resistances i.e. the characteristic value has not been modifed by the appropriate kmod factor. Please note the kmod factor does not apply to masonry hangers and connectors. Actual Applied Loads x Partial Safety Factor on Loads = Design Load (or Factored Load) Characteristic Capacity x kmod / Partial Safety Factor on Materials = Design Capacity Design Load < Design Capacity
selecting and designing a connector. Design Capacities i.e. Characteristic Capacities factored as described above, shall only be used to check against factored design loads. The Allowable load design method utilises a Global Safety Factor to reduce the Ultimate or Failure Load to a Safe Working Load, this must be greater than the Actual Applied Load. The 2 methods can be compared graphically using the diagram below:
In previous catalogues we published only Safe Working Loads. As we are in a period of transition between the use of allowable load and limit state design this catalogue includes both types of capacity. NOTE: It is important Characteristic or Design Capacities are not compared with Actual Applied Loads when

Service Classes Timber structures shall be assigned to one of the service classes stated below:
Service Class 1: Characterised by a moisture content in the materials corresponding to a temperature of 20°C and the relative humidity of the surrounding air only exceeding 65% for a few weeks per year, e.g. warm roofs, internal timber frame walls, internal/ party walls.
Service Class 2: Characterised by a moisture content in the materials corresponding to a temperature of20° C and the relative humidity of the surrounding air only exceeding 85% for a few weeks per year, e.g. ground floors, cold roofs, external timber frame walls and external walls.
Service Class 3: Characterised by climatic conditions leading to higher moisture contents than in service class 2, e.g. external uses, fully exposed.

Simpson Strong-Tie® Connectors for Timber and Masonry Construction
Disproportionate Collapse - Timber Frame Buildings
The Regulations It is a requirement under the UK building regulations that buildings comply to a minimum level of robustness. This is referred to as ‘disproportionate collapse’. The building regulations for Scotland and England & Wales in essence state, although worded slightly differently from each other, that: “The building shall be constructed so that in the event of an accident the building will not suffer collapse to an
extent disproportionate to the cause”. Until a British code is available and referenced in the building regulations the route for timber designers is to adopt alternative methods. The STA (Structural Timber Association) have developed a method and forms the basis for the following information.
The Methods Platform timber frame is a lightweight building process that under accidental damage is known to be robust and has significant capacity to span over gaps caused by accidental damage. This was demonstrated by tests carried out on the BRE/TRADA TF2000 six storey building in 1998 which concluded that: “...timber frames designed and built correctly were robust against disproportionate collapse”.

Designer to carry out risk assessment and decide upon a suitable method.
Tying – Provision of effective horizontal ties. Bridging – “Rim Beam” method where the structure is designed to bridge over the loss of an untied member. Key Element – A structural member (column) upon which the stability of the remainder of the structure depends.
ITB, HITB, SAE, SAI, HU, HUC, IUC tie the joist to rim beam, providing a vertical support & horizontal tie force. SAE, SAI, HU, HUC, CC, CCC, CCT, ECCLL join rim beam members at each junction, providing a vertical support & horizontal tie force. CC, CCC, CCT, ECCLL join a structural column (Key Element) to the rim beam, providing a horizontal tie force. 14

Platform timber frame comprises wall and floor
components mechanically fixed to each other. Unlike other structural concepts, buildings falling outside the scope of platform cellular layouts e.g. post & beam or portal frames, platform timber frame relies on the full diaphragm action of the floors to transfer horizontal forces to an evenly distributed layout of load bearing walls, which provide both vertical support and horizontal load resistance.

Important Information
General Notes This catalogue reflects changes in the product performance and configurations of some Simpson Strong-Tie® products. This catalogue is effective until 31st December 2016 and supersedes all information in earlier publications of products shown. Information on product performance and configurations are updated periodically. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie® for the most current product information. Product performances in the catalogue are for the described specific applications of properly installed products. Product modifications, improper loading or installation procedures, or deviations from recommended applications will affect product performances. products to fit common dry timber dimensions. If you require a connector with dimensions other than those listed, Simpson may be able to vary connector dimensions; contact the factory.
These notes are provided to ensure proper installation of Simpson Strong-Tie® products and must be followed fully. • Simpson Strong-Tie® reserves the right to change specifications, designs and models without notice. • Steel used for each Simpson Strong-Tie® product is individually selected based on the product’s steel specifications, including strength, thickness, formability, finish, and can be welded. Contact factory for steel information on specific products.
• Top fix hangers may cause unevenness. Possible remedies should be evaluated by a professional and include using a face-fixing hanger or removing material to accommodate the top flange thickness. • Multiple member timbers must be fastened together to act as one unit to resist the applied load.
• Unless otherwise noted, dimensions are in millimeters (mm) and loads are in kilo Newtons (kN).
• Do not overload. Do not exceed the product performance which would jeopardise the connection.
• Unless otherwise noted, product performances are for use with C16 (SC3) timber. Products assessed in the USA were evaluated with Spruce-Pine-Fir timber.
• Some model configurations may differ from illustrations shown. Contact factory for details.
• Unless otherwise noted, bending steel on site may cause fractures at the bend 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. • A fastener that splits timber will not take the design load. Evaluate splits to determine if the connection will perform as required. Dry wood may split more easily and should be evaluated as required. If wood tends to split, consider predrilling holes with diameters not exceeding 75% of the nail diameter. •
• Fill all fastener holes with fastener types specified in the tables, unless otherwise noted. When nailing options are noted, the fasteners must be the correct type and location to obtain full loading. • Hanger options - some combinations of hanger options have not been evaluated. In some cases, combinations of these options may not be installed. Horizontal loads induced by sloped joists must be resisted by other members in the structural system. A qualified engineeer must always evaluate each connection, including the carried and carrying member limitations, before specifying the product.
Take wood shrinkage into account when designing and installing connections. Simpson Strong-Tie® manufactures
C-UK14 © 2014 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE COMPANY INC.
Instructions to the Installer • All specified fasteners must be installed according to the instructions for each connector. Incorrect fastener quantity, size, type, material, or finish may cause the connection to fail. • Install all specified fasteners before loading the connection. • Pneumatic or power-actuated fasteners may deflect and injure the operator or others. Nail guns may be used to install connectors, provided the correct number and type of nails are properly installed in the holes provided. • Guns with hole locators should be used. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use appropriate safety equipment. • Masonry supported connectors must be embedded into correct strength mortar as per British Standard.
• Hangers into masonry walls must have the minimum specified height of masonry above the hanger, with the mortar fully cured, before load is applied. Top fix masonry hangers will not carry the design load without specified masonry above the top flange of the hanger. The exception to this would be the use of the Safety Fast range of products. Safety Fast hangers allows construction work to continue safely just 3 days after the supporting block work has been laid. Protruding nails should always be clinched to avoid injury.
Instructions to the Designer Characteristic capacities specified in this catalogue are based on C16 timber grades unless otherwise specified and are presented for use with Limit State Design methods in accordance with Eurocode 5. • The Safe Working Loads (SWL) shown in the Simpson StrongTie® publications for the United Kingdom are derived from tests, calculations and assessments performed in the UK and the USA. • Safe Working Loads (SWL) are presented for use in permissible stress design in accordance with BS 5268: Part 2: 2002 for Service Classes 1 and 2. • Loads from Germany were in accordance to DIN design criteria and testing required for Zulassung certification by the Institute für Bautechnique. • Some products in this catalogue are designed, tested and evaluated in accordance with U.S. industry standards
including: National Design. • Wood shear is not considered in the loads given; reduce allowable loads when wood shear is limiting. • Simpson Strong-Tie® strongly recommends the following addition to construction drawings and specifications: substitutions for Simpson Strong-Tie® products must be preapproved in writing by the designer’. • Verify that the dimensions of the supporting members are sufficient to receive the specified fasteners. • Some catalogue illustrations show connections that could cause cross grain tension or bending of timber if not sufficiently reinforced. • Timber connectors showing the CE mark have been assessed in accordance with Eurocode 5. European Technical Approvals (ETA's) have been obtained and are available on request.
Corrosion Resistance Connectors are steel and will corrode and lose load-carrying capacity if exposed to ocean salt air, corrosive fire-retardant chemicals, fertilizers, or other substances that adversely affect steel. In corrosive environments, especially for connectors that are not exposed to rain or periodic washing, deterioration will occur at a faster rate. The service life of galvanised connectors in a temperate marine environment can be greatly improved by
homeowner maintenance. Fasteners of comparable material should be used to install the product. Pressure-preservative treated and fire-retardant wood can be caustic to zinc coated (or galvanised) steel. Galvanised connectors should not be placed in contact with treated wood that has not been properly air-seasoned or properly kiln dried. See material supplier for specific recommendations.

Options and Terminology
Options and Terminology This information applies only to hangers manufactured by Simpson Strong-Tie® and installed as per our installation instructions. Some combinations of these options on a single hanger have not been evaluated. In some cases, combinations of these options may not be installable. A qualified engineer must always evaluate each connection, including header and joist limitations, before specifying the product.
Material: Material thickness may vary from that specified for standard hanger configurations, depending on the manufacturing process. Generally welded hangers have one-piece stirrups; occasionally it may be necessary to create a welded stirrup from two or three pieces. Hanger configurations, height and fastener schedules may vary from the table depending on the joist size, skew and slope
Testing is performed using a standardised hanger test method. The joist in the test set up may include a certain amount of structural stability. Header and other attached structural members are assumed fixed in actual installations. Horizontal loads, induced by sloped joists, must be resisted by other members in the structural system.
Finish: See specific hanger tables. Welded hangers can be supplied with a galvanised or zinc plated finish.

Structural Screws for Multi-Ply Timbers
Introduction to Structural Screws Simpson Strong-Tie® have developed a range of structural screws to meet the demands of the construction industry. The screw ranges are designed to meet the needs of contractor's building in timber frame, SIP (Structural Insulated Panel), CLT (Cross Laminated Timber), Glulam, but also for joining together multiple truss plies and I-Joists, metal web and solid joists.
Design Methods Performance values for both design methods (Permissible and Limit State) are listed and have been determined as follows:
Permissible Design (BS5268-2) (Safe Working Loads) The calculations in Annex G, of BS5268-2, have been used to determine the performance tables in section 6 of the same standard. They can also be used to determine the other lateral loads of varying connections, which are listed in the following pages. Joints should be designed so that the permissible loads applied to the fasteners or timbers do not exceed the design loads of the structure.
Limit State Design (EN1995-1-1 or Eurocode 5) (Characteristic Loads) The guidelines laid out in Section 8 of EN1995-1-1, are to be used to determine the withdrawal and lateral performance of a connection when using the Limit State Design method. Connections should be designed so that the design reactions applied to the structure do not exceed the design capacity of the connection. Spacings and Edge / End Distances should be complied with as laid out within the relevant standard to ensure full capacity of the connection is achieved. Any reduction in the recommendations will result in a reduction of the connection performance and should be verified by the engineer responsible for the design of the building.

Structural Screws for Multi-Ply Timbers
SDW Structural Wood Screw The Strong-Drive® SDW screw is a 8.0mm diameter, high-strength structural wood screw specifically designed for fastening multi-ply wood members together such as plated trusses, engineered timber products and solid-sawn timber.
T40 Bit
The SDW installs easily with no pre-drilling and is available in optimized lengths for fastening 2, 3 and 4-ply trusses or 45mm engineered timber such as Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL). The SDW enables single-side fastening, while still allowing concurrent loading on both sides of the assembly to the full allowable head or point-side load of the fastener.
• • • •
Low-profile head for reduced interference during handling or installation of hardware on the assembly. High shear values enable wider screw spacing. Bold thread design firmly clinches plies together to close gaps in multi-ply assemblies. Optimal screw lengths provide maximum point side penetration.
L TL
Material: Heat Treated Carbon Steel. Finish: Black E-coat™ Warning: Industry studies show that hardened fasteners can experience performance problems in wet or corrosive environments. Accordingly, the SDW wood screws should only be used in dry, interior and non-corrosive environments e.g. Service class 1 & 2.
• • • •
SDW screws install best with a low-speed drill and a T40 6-lobe bit (bit included with every box of screws). Pre-drilling is typically not required. SDW screws may be installed through metal truss plates as approved by the truss designer. Drive the fastener so that the top of the head is slightly embedded into the top surface of the timber. To ensure correct performance, do not under or over-drive the fastener. Individual screw locations may be adjusted up to 75mm to avoid conflicts with other hardware or to avoid timber defects.

Structural Screws for Multi-Ply Timbers
ESCRC Countersunk Structural Wood Screw The ESCRC is a countersunk head screw designed to connect two or more timber members together. The ESCRC screw has a reamer to allow for smooth driving of the shank. The countersunk head gives flush fitting while allowing the timber members to close up firmly.
Material: Heat Treated Carbon Steel. Finish: Electrogalvanised and anti-friction coating with Yellow Chromate. Zinc coating thickness is ≥ 5μm. Warning: Industry studies show that hardened fasteners can experience performance problems in wet or corrosive environments. Accordingly, the ESCRC wood screw should only be used in dry, interior and non-corrosive environments e.g. Service class 1 & 2. Installation:
• • •
ESCRC screws install best with a low-speed drill and a T-30, T40 or T50 6-lobe bit (included). Drive the fastener so that the top of the head is slightly embedded into the top surface of the timber. To ensure correct performance, do not under or over drive the fastener. Individual screw locations may be adjusted up to 75mm to avoid conflict with other hardware or to avoid timber defects.

Structural Screws for Multi-Ply Timbers
Roof Trusses Simpson Strong-Drive® SDW and ESCR Screws can be used for a fast and effective connection of the multi-ply roof trusses.
Installation:
• • • • •
Screws can be installed from one side of the truss for faster installation. Screw heads shall be on the same side of the truss to which the hangers are attached. If screws are installed in the wrong face of the truss then install additional screws in the correct face with the maximum spacing of twice the required spacing but not exceeding 600mm centres. The additional screws shall be offset from the existing screws. If hangers or hanger fixings clash with the girder screws, relocate the girder screw as close as possible to the side flange of the hanger on the same screw line.

Where multiple trussed rafters are fastened together on site, the fastening of at least the ceiling tie members should be screws or bolts using the appropriate washer in positions marked by the manufacturer according to BS5268-3 clause 6.5.5. Spacing of loads applied to the multi-ply truss shall not exceed 600mm centres. The truss engineer shall ensure torsion due to loads framing into one side of the multi-ply truss is adequately catered for. Screws shall not be installed through metal truss plates unless approved by the truss engineer, pre-drilling is not required. Individual screw locations may be adjusted to avoid conflicts with other hardware or timber defects. Use max of 1 row of screws in members up to 120mm deep. Use 1 or 2 rows of screws up to 170mm deep (depending on capacity requirements). Use 1, 2 or 3 rows of screws in members over 171mm deep (depending on capacity requirements).

Installation:
• • • • • • • • • •
28
All members shall be full length with no intermediate splices. Screws shall be installed with the screw heads in the loaded ply. Individual screw locations may be adjusted up to 1/2 of the required spacing to avoid conflicts with other hardware or timber defects. The spacing of applied uniform loads to the multi-ply member shall not exceed 600mm centres (i.e. Hanger Spacing). Use maximum of 1 row of screws in members up to 120mm deep (depending on capacity requirements). Use 1, 2 rows in members up to 170mm deep (depending on capacity requirements). Use 1, 2 or 3 rows of screws in members over 171mm deep (depending on capacity requirements). Screws with self drilling tips require high torque to install, especially when installed into dense wood materials such as laminated veneer lumber (LVL). The screw guns used to install the screws should have the following (minimum) specification: 100Nm torque, 14.4V or 18V Battery and have impact driving functionality. The number of screws being installed needs to be considered against the constant high loads, at high torque, applied to the screw gun motor. Refer to manufacturer for motor loading conditions.

The floor decking may be stored on the joists provided the load is uniformly distributed between the several joists and does not exceed the hanger or joist capacities. 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. Floor decking and block work is to be cut where necessary to fit around the upstand stiffeners. Pallets of blocks or other construction materials should be placed onto the scaffolding and NOT directly onto the floor. The materials can then be evenly distributed around the floor manually, ensuring hanger or joist capacities are not exceeded.

Masonry Hangers for Solid Joists
SFLH Safety Fast Lite Hanger The SFLH is an innovative single piece hanger designed to support timber joists from masonry walls without the need for masonry above the course of blockwork supporting the hanger. The SFLH has been designed to assist in meeting the air leakage requirements as part of the Code for Sustainable Homes. Since the joist is supported by a hanger and does not penetrate the inner leaf of blockwork, the potential for air leakage is reduced and avoids the time consuming and costly mortaring and sealing with mastic around built in joist ends. This hanger allows construction work to continue safely just 3 days after the supporting blockwork has been laid - as opposed to 28 days in the case of traditional masonry hangers.

About working on the floor prior to the next lift of masonry. 1. The floor decking may be
stored on the joists provided the load is uniformly distributed among several joists and does not exceed the hanger or joist capacities. Refer to joist manufacturer or supplier for joist capacity and maximum construction loads. 2. The floor decking must be
securely attached to each joist before additional loads can be placed on the system. 3. Pallets of blocks or other
construction material should be placed onto the scaffolding and not directly onto the floor. The materials can then be evenly distributed around the floor manually, ensuring the hanger or joist capacities are not exceeded.
For example, total number of blocks per pair of joists (4 hangers) @ 600 c/c: • 2.8N/mm2 AAC = 24 • 3.5N/mm2 AAC = 20 • 7.0N/mm2 DAC = 16 Note: I-Joist shown above for illustration purposes, SFLH is compatible with solid sawn joists.

Masonry Hangers for Solid Joists
SFJC Safety Fast Joist Cap The SFJC is an innovative product which enables a safe, practical and robust solution that satisfies the requirements of ‘Approved Document B & L’ of the Building Regulations. The SFJC is designed to be used where timber joists are built into a masonry external wall and eliminates the air leakage problems associated with shrinkage of timber joists. It also provides resistance to fire for up to 60 minutes when gaps are filled with mineral wool. • • • •
SFJC225/50 specifically designed for 50mm solid sawn joists up to 225mm deep. SFJC305/50, SFJC305/100 and SFJC225/100 models accommodate a large range of joists types and sizes. Air leakage around the joist end is eliminated. Wide face flanges provide an air tight seal.
Material: Black Polypropylene. The SFJC does not provide any lateral stability to the joists during construction phase. It is therefore necessary to install temporary bracing in accordance with the joist manufacturers instructions and/or standard construction 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.
SFJC PATENT GB2392928, GB2393459

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.
SFJC305/100 & SFJC225/100: SOLID SAWN JOISTS • • • • • • • •
Steel joist plates slides 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 30 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 is completed. If necessary, hammer wedges in tight. Also if necessary, fill the void around the joist with mineral wool or expanding foam.

Masonry Hangers for Solid Joists
JHM/HJHM Masonry Hangers JHMs and HJHMs are for supporting timber joists, beams and trussed rafters from masonry walls. • • •
•
JHM
Built-in inspection slot at the base of the hanger to aid inspection 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.
Material: JHM and HJHM: Pre-galvanised mild steel.
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. Do not stack blocks or 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 joists hangers can be fixed to steel beams by means of power actuated fasteners (see table below). The shot-fired pins must be installed by a qualified person in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation requirements.
HJHM
•
• •
• •
Return configuration provides additional support by wrapping around three sides of the block. Designate “return” and length of return dimensions when ordering. RETURN HANGERS DO NOT SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS FOR LATERAL RESTRAINT TYPE HANGERS. Straddle configuration provides two hangers connected across top of support enabling exact alignment on both sides of supporting wall.

Masonry Hangers for Solid Joists
RHMSK Skewed Masonry Hanger The RHMSK is designed to support solid timber joists, I-Joists or metal web joists from masonry walls. • •
Hanger design enables skew angles from 5˚-90˚ left or right. Full 90˚ skew option replaces the trimming detail around soil pipes.
Material Pre-galvanised mild steel.
Installation Notes: • • • • • •
•
Set the hanger back flange tight against the block wall when the wall is built to the desired level. The joist should be set tight into the back of the hanger - a maximum gap of 6mm is permitted. Fix the joist into the hanger using all specified fasteners. Web stiffeners are required for I-Joist applications. Continue with additional masonry courses above the hanger top flange to complete the wall height. Do not stack blocks or heavy loads on the joists during construction unless the joists have additional support to take the full load of the blocks. A minimum of 675mm of masonry is required above the hanger top flange with the mortar fully cured before applying the load.

1. Loads are based upon tests conducted by CERAM Building technology, are determined in accordance to BS EN 845-1:2013 and apply to masonry blocks with a minimum compressive strength as indicated. 2. The block thickness must be at least the same size as the top flange depth. 3. 3.75x30mm refers to galvanised square twist nails: 3.75mm diameter, 30mm length. 4. Skew angle to be specified in accordance to illustration below.
How to Order: Specify hanger finished height and width. Specify skew angle and direction.
Example: For joist 200mm deep by 100mm wide with a right directional skew of 45˚ the code to order would be: RHMSK200/100 SKR45.

Step 2: Place hangers onto supporting block work, ensuring the hanger back flange is tight against the face of the block work. Step 3: Continue with masonry above hanger ensuring a minimum of 675mm of masonry is above the hanger top flange and leave to cure. Mortar must be fully cured before any load is applied to the hanger. Step 4: Install the joist into the hanger. The joist should be tight into the back of the hanger where possible. A maximum gap of 6mm is permitted. Step 5: Fix the joist to the hanger using all specified fasteners. Step 6: If installing I-joist, web stiffeners are required. Web stiffeners should be installed in accordance with I-Joist manufacturers recommendations. Step 7: Where the 90˚ skewed variant is used to frame around soil vent pipes, a solid blocking piece is to be fitted between the joist and hanger back flange so the joist is positioned 50mm from the face of the masonry wall. The blocking piece must be fitted to the joist prior to installing into the hanger. The blocking piece must be the same depth as the joist, width to suit the remaining gap and be at least 100mm long.

ICF Insulated Concrete Form Hanger The ICFLC and ICFVL-CW ledger connector system is engineered to solve the challenges of mounting steel or wood ledgers on insulated concrete walls. The ledger connector system is easy, quick and versatile to use. The perforations in the embedded leg of the ICFLC permit the concrete to flow around it, anchoring the ICFLC securely within the wall. The exposed flange provides a structural surface for mounting either a wood or a steel ledger.

Masonry Hangers for I-Joist and Metal Web
JHMI/HJHMI Masonry Supported I-Joist Hangers JHMI and HJHMI are joist hangers for supporting timber joists, beams and trussed rafters from masonry walls. • • •
•
JHMI
Built-in inspection slot at the base of the hanger to aid inspection from the ground. HJHMI: Heavy duty masonry hanger for higher load carrying capacity. Top flange provides widest area in contact with masonry support allowing superior performance. Embossments on JHMI stiffen top flange and holes allow improved mortar keying. Side flange is much higher than traditional style, providing greatly enhanced resistance to joist rotation.
Material: JHMI and HJHMI: Pre-galvanised mild steel.
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 or obround nail holes located so that nails can be driven at an angle into the lower chord of an I-joist. Web stiffeners may be required by the I-joist manufacturer. Do not stack blocks or heavy loads on the joists during construction unless the joists have additional support to take the full load of the blocks vertically and horizontally. JHMI range of joists hangers can be fixed to steel beams by means of powder actuated fasteners. See table below. The shot-fired pins must be installed by a qualified person in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation requirements.

Return configuration provides additional support by wrapping around three sides of the block. Designate “return” and length of return dimensions when ordering. Return hangers do not satisfy the requirements for lateral restraint type hangers. Straddle configuration provides two hangers connected across top of support enabling exact alignment on both sides of supporting wall. Designate “straddle” and length of straddle dimensions when ordering. Other widths and heights available to order.

JHMI Hangers for Engineered Wood
Simpson Strong-Tie® Connectors for Timber and Masonry Construction
Masonry Hangers for I-Joist and Metal Web
SFJC Safety Fast Joist Cap The SFJC is an innovative product which enables a safe, practical and robust solution that satisfies the requirements of ‘Approved Document B & L’ of the Building Regulations. The SFJC is designed to be used where timber joists are built into a masonry external wall and eliminates the air leakage problems associated with shrinkage of timber joists. It also provides resistance to fire for up to 60 minutes when gaps are filled with mineral wool. • • •
SFJC225/50, SFJC305/50, SFJC305/100 and SFJC225/100 models accommodate a large range of joists types and sizes. Air leakage around the joist end is eliminated. Wide face flanges provide an air tight seal.
Material: Black Polypropylene. The SFJC does not provide any lateral stability to the joists during construction phase. It is therefore necessary to install temporary bracing in accordance with the joist manufacturers instructions and/or standard construction practice, to ensure temporary stability of the floor joists. • •
Place the I-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.

Installation Sequence
SFJC225/50 and SFJC305/50: I-Joists •
I-joists up to 50mm wide and 225/300mm wide can be installed directly into the SFJC305/50. For narrower joist widths use the wedge cut outs to pack the joist.
SFJC305/100 & SFJC225/100: I-Joists

• • • • • • • • •
For use with double I-joists up to 300mm wide. Steel joist plates slides 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 30 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 is completed. If necessary, hammer wedges in tight. Also if necessary, fill the void around the joist with mineral wool or expanding foam.

Masonry Hangers for I-Joist and Metal Web
SES Simpson End Seal Simpson End Seal: One solution for air leakage and sound transference requirements. The SES Simpson End Seal provides a fast and effective solution to reduce air leakage through ‘pocket masonry’ in block walls. Once installed, it removes the need for mastic sealant around the perimeter of joists (subject to good workmanship when mortar keying). The SES is a cost effective way to help comply with the requirements of Part L (reduced air leakage) and Part E (reduced sound transference). The SES allows for a full 100mm bearing of joist onto masonry walls. • • • • • •
Air leakage - reduces air leakage without the need for mastic sealant. Sound - meets the sound requirements of a proprietary joist cap as specified by Appendix A, Robust Details Part E Handbook. Fire - provides 1 hour of fire resistance (in compliance with Approved Document B). Can be used on external and party walls. Meets the NHBC Technical requirements. Secure fixing - provided by 30mm Square Twist Nails.
Step 1: Prepare block work to accept floor joists - no need for mortar on top. Position floor joists onto wall (only one joist shown for clarity). Fit the End Seal to the end of the joist as shown. Ensure that the End Seal is tight against the joist end and secure with two 3.75x30 square twist nails.
Step 2: When preparing a double joist, repeat installation step 1 on the second I-Joist. Apply mastic sealant to the inside face of the End Seal between the joists (see diagram) and to the top and bottom chords of the I-Joist.

SES
Step 3: Join the I-joists together, checking that the mastic sealant has been compressed between the end seals. It is recommended that the I-joists are joined together using 2 MJC (multi joist connector), one on top and one on the bottom of the I-joist at 200mm from the bearing point (SDW screws can be used as an alternative to MJC). Check with I-Joist manufacturer.
Step 4: Apply mortar to the void between the top and bottom chords of the I-joist on both sides of a single joist and to the outsides of a double joist, ensuring the mortar is packed against the End Seal.

MJC (optional) Mastic Sealant
Step 5: Lay a bed of mortar onto the top of the blocks ensuring mortar is laid tight up against the joist end. Lay blocks either side of the joist, ensuring mortar is applied to the block ends, completely fill all joints. Lay the next bed of mortar on top of the blocks. Continue to build the wall as normal.

Simpson Strong-Tie® Connectors for Timber and Masonry Construction
Masonry Hangers for I-Joist and Metal Web
SFLHI Safety Fast Lite Hanger The SFLHI is an innovative single piece hanger designed to support timber joists from masonry walls without the need for masonry above the course of blockwork supporting the hanger. The SFLHI has been designed to assist in meeting the air leakage requirements as part of the Code for Sustainable Homes. Since the joist is supported by a hanger and does not penetrate the inner leaf of blockwork, the potential for air leakage is reduced and avoids the time consuming and costly mortaring and sealing with mastic around built in joist ends. This hanger allows construction work to continue safely just 3 days after the supporting blockwork has been laid as opposed to 28 days in the case of traditional masonry hangers.

Step 1: Build masonry to the required level, ensuring any coursing bricks or blocks are at least one course below the supporting block.
Step 2: Place the Safety Fast Lite Masonry Hanger for I-Joists (SFLHI) over the inner leaf of the block work, ensuring the top flanges are fully bearing onto the top of the supporting block work and are also tight against the front face of the block work.
Leave the masonry to cure for at least three days.
Step 3: Install the floor joist into the SFLHI. The end of the joist should be tight against the back of the hanger. Maximum gap allowed: 6mm.
Step 4: Install the appropriate restraint strap (see note 1), ensuring the strap is tight against the back face of the block work hanger return and the side of the floor joist. Fix with fasteners as specified in the table below.
Install the specified joist nails (see table below).

About working on the floor prior to the next lift of masonry. 1. The floor decking may be
stored on the joists provided the load is uniformly distributed among several joists and does not exceed the hanger or joist capacities. Refer to joist manufacturer or supplier for joist capacity and maximum construction loads. 2. The floor decking must be
securely attached to each joist before additional loads can be placed on the system. 3. Pallets of blocks or other
construction material should be placed onto the scaffolding and not directly onto the floor. The materials can then be evenly distributed around the floor manually, ensuring the hanger or joist capacities are not exceeded.
For example, total number of blocks per pair of joists (4 hangers) @ 600 c/c: • 2.8N/mm2 AAC = 24 • 3.5N/mm2 AAC = 20 • 7.0N/mm2 DAC = 16 Note: I-Joist shown above for illustration purposes, SFLH is compatible with solid sawn joists.

The floor decking may be stored on the joists provided the load is uniformly distributed between the several joists and does not exceed the hanger or joist capacities. 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. Floor decking and block work is to be cut where necessary to fit around the upstand stiffeners.

Timber Hangers for Solid Joists
JHA Joist Hanger with Adjustable Height Strap JHA is a height adjustable joist hanger for supporting timber joists from timber members. • •
A galvanised joist hanger that provides great support with ease of installation. Published performance values are based upon 3.75 x 30mm square twist nails being used throughout. 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 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! JHA270 range features a location tab which allows easier alignment of the hanger. The model number and size is stamped into the seat of the hanger for easy identification, even after installation.

Timber Hangers for Solid Joists
SAE/SAI Face Fix Hangers SAE and SAI ranges are heavy-duty hangers designed for applications requiring additional strength.
SAE 40
• •
• •
SAE hangers have bolt holes for 12mm fasteners into the face. SAE Timber Bolted capacity to be determined according to the relevant standards. Do not exceed the load values given in the Bolt Attachment table. SAI hangers are not recommended for bolted applications. The hanger depth is to be at least 60% of the carried member depth to prevent rotation, unless additional lateral restraint is added to the top of the carried member.
Material: Pre-galvanised mild steel.
Installation: • •
Use all specified fasteners. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table. SAE hangers can be installed by filling all round holes, or all bolt holes, with the specified fasteners. A combination of the two would not give any increase to the performance values.
SAI
Options:
• • • • •
Other widths of the SAE hangers are available to order. For special SAE Hangers, the fastener specifications and performance values may differ from the normal hanger specifications. See SAE Hanger Specials Table for details. Skews right or left up to 67.5° and slopes up or down, up to 45°. Hangers with skews greater than 15° may have all joist nailing on the outside angle. For SAE hangers with combined skews and slopes the maximum SWL is 80% of the medium term loads stated within the table. Concealed flanges available on some models. See SAI Table for Hanger Range. Sloped and skew options can be manufactured, however these would not include bolt holes. Please refer to the “SAE Hangers Specials” Table opposite.

1. Safe working loads apply to bolt attachment only. 2. Timber support safe working loads are based upon calculation from BS 5268 Part 2 with grade 4.6 12mm bolts into C16 timber and load testing performed at Simpson Strong-Tie testing facility. Timber support safe
working loads apply to a minimum support member thickness of 72mm. Safe working loads for smaller support members must be reduced in accordance with BS 5268 Part 2. Bolts are to be installed in accordance with recommendations within BS 5268: Part 2.
3. Masonry support safe working loads are based upon calculation with Rawl R-KF2 and 12mm stud anchors. Select and install fixings according to manufacturers recommendations. Other manufacturers anchors can be used. The designer is to check the alternate fixing suitability and reduce the safe working load where limited by the fixing. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie for bolt hole locations.

SWL’s are based upon a maximum nailing schedule—all round and triangular holes filled. 3. Skews right or left up to 67.5° and slopes up or down up to 45°. For combined skew and sloped hangers the maximum SWL is 80% of the stated loads. 4. Enables hangers to be manufactured for any combination of widths and heights listed for a model number. 5. To order specify model number, width, height, skew and/or slope.eg SAE380/63 Skewed Right at 15° becomes SAE380X, W = 63, H = 159, SKR = 15° (for no skewed/sloped options please specify skew = 0° & slope = 0°).

Glulam: Sustainable Durable Beautiful With the Construction Industry becoming ever more conscious of environmental issues, companies are taking a fresh look at building structures and carbon emissions. As a more sustainable material than steel, Glulam contributes to this goal. Glulam timbers are being used where steel beams and columns would have been employed in buildings such as schools, supermarkets and large commercial buildings. Simpson Strong-Tie® have designed a range of connectors to help build Glulam structures safely and economically, by standardising the products and obtaining CE approval where possible.
Bespoke Connectors Due to the nature of Glulam construction, there are occasions when standard products will Pièces horsnot standard be sufficient.

Connectors for Glulam Timber
TU Concealed Beam Hanger This galvanised steel, load rated hanger provides an aesthetically attractive connection for exposed beams. Mild steel dowels and screws are included.
Material: Pre-Galvanised Mild Steel. Dowels: Mild Steel Electroplated Zinc coating. Installation: •
• • • • • • • •
Dowels aligned across the grain may cause splitting if the wood shrinks excessively. Use only in glulam, composite timber or well dried timber. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table. Attach to the supporting 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 off-site with 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 dowels 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. Recommended for internal dry environments (service class 1 & 2) only.
OPTIONS: Contact Simpson Strong-Tie for details of special installation tools. • • • • •
TU20 (other sizes similar) U.S. Patent 5,062,733
The standard installation will leave a 5mm gap between carried and supporting beams. Pocket installation gives a fully concealed connection. Skewed installation up to 60°. Sloped installation maximum 45°. Options: Skewed TU available. To be factory ordered. Additional screws are available to order.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR A TU 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 for concealed connector. This allows the connector to be hidden from below. Otherwise cut the slot 3mm deeper than the TU and through the entire beam height. Fully Concealed Only: 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 gap between 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 dowel holes 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. Fully Concealed Only: To hide exposed dowel holes when the installation is complete, glue and plug the holes.

•
Standard Installation (I-joist headers without backer blocks), position the ITB hanger onto the face of supporting I-joist, ensuring the bottom flanges are tight up against the underside of the bottom chord and fill all round and obround holes with the specified nails, starting with the bottom face nails and ensuring the hanger sides are vertical before fixing the top nails. Sit the carried joist into the ITB Hanger and install the specified nails through the angled pan nail holes into the joist. Enhanced Installation (I-joist headers with backer blocks installed) it is necessary to fit backer blocks into the web of the I-joist header, ensuring they are tight to the underside of the top chord. All round, obround and triangular holes are then to be filled with the specified nails, starting with the bottom face nails and ensuring the hanger sides are vertical before fixing the top nails. Enhanced Uplift (I-joists or solid joists with additional joist nails) fit web stiffeners onto the carried joist and fill all joist triangular nail holes with specified nails. When required, backer blocks and web stiffeners are to be installed in accordance with I-Joist manufacturer’s recommendations.
HITB Installation: • • •
•
• •
•
• •
Designed for use with multiple headers. Use 3.75 x 30mm square twist nails during this installation. Ensure the supporting I-joists are connected together in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended connection methods, i.e. MJC Connectors, or filler blocks. Position the HITB hanger onto the face of the supporting I-joists, ensuring the bottom flanges are tight up against the underside of the bottom chord. Fill all face round and obround holes with nails. Install nails into the holes within the bottom flanges. Flatten the hanger’s open flanges to the top chords of the supporting I-joist and install a minimum of 4 nails per flange, 2 to the front and 2 to the rear of the joists. Bend the bottom chord tabs over the top face of the bottom chord and install nails through the obround holes into the the top face of the bottom chord. Sit the carried joist into the HITB hanger and install the nails through the round and obround holes into the joist. Web stiffeners required with HITB and HITB-LT.

Timber Hangers for I-Joists
IHS I-Joist Hole Support The IHS is designed to strengthen I-joists when holes are required to be cut in locations not normally permitted. •
• •
•
•
Allows holes to be cut 50mm from bearing point, which allows services to run close to external walls. Variable hole sizes from 150mm to a maximum width of 250mm. Supplied in two plates (per side of joist) which allows the IHS to be fitted, even when services are already in-situ. Helps to eliminate expensive and time consuming joist trimminng for SVP (soil vent pipe) runs. Built-in noggin support feature.
IHS INSTALLATION:
• • • • • •
Each IHS consists of 2 sets of 2 interlocking plates with one set required for each side of the I-joist. The outer edge of the holes cut into the web of the I-joist can be a minimum of 50mm from the inner face of the blockwork. Holes can be cut into the web of the I-joist before or after installation of the IHS. Holes must fit within the internal aperture of the IHS. Place the IHS onto the I-joist so that the top and bottom sliding flanges are aligned vertically central onto the top and bottom chords of the I-joist. Open or close the IHS to the required width, ensuring that the two sections overlap by at least one row of nails (minimum overlap of 45mm). Install 3.75x30mm square twist nails through all round holes into the top and bottom chords of the I-joist. Repeat the above steps to install plates on the other side of the I-joist, completing the installation.
Overlapping plate installed.

Timber Hangers for I-Joists
MJC Multiple Joist Connector The multi joist connector (MJC) allows two I-joists or two metal web joists to be fixed together to act as a single unit, transferring the incoming load from the loaded ply to the unloaded ply. The MJC is an improved solution to the traditional filler block detail, which historically has been time consuming to fit and difficult to check if fitted or if fitted correctly. It’s simple and effective design allows one size of product to be used on any joist size – regardless of height or width. • • • • •
Quick and simple to install. Safely joins multiple joists together, allowing them to act as a single unit. Easy to see that MJC’s are installed (where as filler blocks are not visible). One size product fits all joist height and width combinations. Just one nail size required: 3.75 x 30mm square twist.

Maximum Incoming Concentrated Load refers to the maximum concentrated load that can be applied when the MJC’s are installed either side of the incoming load. Number of MJC’s equally spaced about the incoming load. Maximum Incoming Regular Load refers to the maximum load that can be applied at regular intervals along the supporting timber. Number of MJC’s between each incoming load.
MJC Installation with Timber I-Joist
C-UK14 © 2014 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE COMPANY INC.
Step 1: Position the MJC’s onto the 1st joist - ensuring that they are centred about the incoming load at 400 c/c (may be adjusted within 10mm each way).
400mm
Please note that the connectors can be installed in any orientation. Secure each MJC with 4no. 3.75 x 30mm Square Twist Nails, to the top and bottom joist flanges as shown.
Step 2: Position 2nd joist ensuring ends are flush and joists are parallel. Secure the joist using 2no. 3.75 x 30mm Square Twist Nails per MJC into the top and bottom joist flanges as shown.

ZS - Slotted Z-Clip The ZS clip allows I-joists or solid sawn timber to be used as noggings between joists to support floor decks or partitions. •
• •
• •
Fully interlocking top flange works on all I-joist header widths to prevent overlapping of opposing clips. Slotted bottom flange allows I-joists to be used as noggings. Triangular nail hole for use with 50mm wide headers, also it ensures that nails can be staggered when ZS clips are interlocked. Embossed bottom flange provides greatly enhanced resistance to bending. Obround nail holes in the bottom flange ensure easier angled nailing.

Timber Hangers for I-Joists
ITSE/MIT Top Flange I-Joist Hanger The ITSE and MIT are top fix hangers for supporting I-joists from timber members.
ITSE
The ITSE hanger incorporates the “Strong Grip™” which secures the I-Joist without the need for any fasteners - where no uplift is required. •
• • • •
•
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. Reduced embossing on the ITSE’s top flange, and the hanger height sized less than the joist height allows easier fitting for smooth floor alignment. Patented Positive Angle Nailing (PAN): This feature is specifically designed for 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. These models will normally accommodate a skew of up to 5°.

Timber Hangers for I-Joists
LBV Top Flange I-Joist Hanger (Skewable Option) LBV and B/BI are joist hangers 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: Pre-galvanised mild steel. Installation: • • •
Use all specified fasteners. See "General Notes" (page 12). 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 B/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:
• •
Typical LBV Installation
Other widths and heights are available as a special order, contact Simpson Strong-Tie for details. LBV and B/BI series hangers can be skewed and sloped to a maximum of 45°. See table for load adjustment factors. To order specials, use model number SPEC LBV or SPEC B and add required dimensions and directions: D=seat sloped down, U=seat sloped up, R=skewed right, L=skewed left. Example: SPEC LBV H = 220, W = 91. D30 R45 is an LBV220/91 with a sloped down seat 30° and skewed right 45°.

Timber Hangers for I-Joists
GLTV I-Joist and Structural Composite Timber Hanger GLTV is for supporting I-joists and structural composite timber from timber members. • •
These hangers offer design flexibility and versatility. GLTV hangers are designed for use with structural composite lumber headers (not I-Joist) and may take heavy loads. The top flange nails are sized and specifically located to prevent degradation of the header due to splitting of laminations.
75
Material: 5mm top flange and stirrup - mild steel. Hot-dip galvanised.
75
SAFE WORKING LOADS: For hanger heights exceeding the joist height, the SWL is 0.5 of the table load.
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. May be used for weld on applications. The minimum required welds for the top flanges are 6mm x 63mm, 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.
130
• • • • • • • •
Other widths and heights are available as a special order, contact Simpson Strong-Tie® for details. Straddle available-specify S dimension. Can be skewed and sloped to a maximum of 45°. 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 all welded specials, contact Simpson Strong-Tie®.

Timber Hangers for I-Joists
IUSE Face Fix I-Joist Hanger The IUSE is a face fix hanger for supporting I-joists from timber members. This hanger incorporates the “Strong Grip™” which secures the IJoist without the need for any fasteners - where no uplift is required. 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.
H
Material: Pre-galvanised mild steel.
Enhanced Uplift Loads: The IUSE has optional triangular nail holes for additional uplift. Properly attached web stiffeners will be required for enhanced uplift. Please contact I-Joist manufacturer for details.
Installation: Use all specified fasteners. See "General Notes". Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table.
Options: Because these hangers are fully die-formed, they cannot be modified. However these models will normally accommodate a skew of up to 5°.
W
Patent EP1212493
IUSE incorporates the “Strong Grip™” that secures the I-Joist without the need for any fasteners – where no uplift performance is required.
Use specified fastener installed as shown where uplift is required.

Timber Hangers for I-Joists
MIU/HIU Face Fix I-Joist Hangers MIU and HIU are face mounted hangers 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.
Material: Pre-galvanised mild steel.
Enhanced uplift loads: The MIU and HIU have optional triangular nail holes for additional uplift. Properly attached web stiffeners may be required for Enhanced uplift. Please contact Simpson Strong-Tie for details. See table on page 99.
Installation: Use all specified fasteners. See "General Notes". Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table. •
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.

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

Timber Hangers for I-Joists
MH Sacrificial Floor Detail The MH provides a cost efffective and easy to install method of fixing a set of I-joists (solid or LVL flange) that provide support for a sacrificial floor deck in buildings where work is continuing. The MH is a one-piece galvanised joist hanger, available in a range of widths. • Suitable for use with solid or LVL flanged I-joists. • Seat tab ensures easy and accurate placement and alignment. • Manufactured from pre-galvanised mid steel.
For the sacrificial joist installation, a MH hanger MUST be fitted to the top and bottom flanges. This prevents rotation of the joists. The hangers are intended for one use only. Once removed they MUST NOT be re-used. A sacrificial floor deck is a temporary deck that closes off an opening in the floor zone - such as a stairwell. The stated performance values are based upon 2 no. MH hangers being installed as per the installation illustration below.

Timber Hangers for I-Joists
THAI Adjustable Strap Hanger THAI
THAI is a one piece 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. •
• •
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. 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.
H
SIMPSON ® Strong Tie
Material: Pre-galvanised mild steel. Installation: Use all specified fasteners. See "General Notes". Two different installation methods are available depending on the availability of nailing surface. Web stiffeners are required when using this hanger type.
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.

Timber Hangers for Metal Web Joists
IUBS Metal Web Joist Hanger (Skewable) The IUBS solves the problem of skew hangers in timber to timber connections. It can be handed left or right on site by the carpenter, removing confusion when the floor is built opposite to the drawing. The IUBS is also fully adjustable from 5° to 67.5° degrees skew, reducing the need for “special” skew hangers. • • • • •
Standard 45° skew, with site adjustable skew from 5° to 67.5° degrees. Non-handed hanger, can be left or right skewed - adjusted on site removing any handing confusion and reduce stocking. Use SDS25212 for enhanced download capacity. Can be used on metal web joist or solid joist headers. Optional nail holes for additional download.

IUQ Metal Web Joist to SIP Panel Hanger About SIP With the construction industry becoming ever more conscious of environmental issues, companies are taking a fresh look at building structures and carbon emissions. Structural insulated panels (SIP) contribute to this goal as they are highly energy efficient and comply with the building fabric measures of The Code for Sustainable Homes.

The IUQ and HIUQ (standard and heavy duty respectively) can be used with either metal web or engineered I-joists. Joists no longer sit on top of the wall, thus eliminating thermal bridging at the joist/ wall junction. Cuts down on the time consuming and costly process of placing timber blocking pieces between the joists and the wall panels, creating a better air seal. Installation is simple and efficient, requiring 2 (or 4) SDS screws (supplied with hangers). Positive Angle Nailing (PAN) of joist to hanger can speed up installation while reducing the chance of splitting the joist bottom chords.
C-UK14 © 2014 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE COMPANY INC.
The IUQ and HIUQ is the first hanger range specifically designed to allow engineered joists to be face fixed to a structural insulated panel (SIP), when used in conjunction with the Simpson Strong-Tie® patented SDS screws.

JES Joist End Support The JES is a two piece metal-work system which enables the use of engineered timber I-joists in loft conversions, offering a safe and economic alternative to the traditional method which requires steel girders. It provides reinforcement to the joist ends where they are cut to fit within the eaves of the existing roof. The I-Joists are installed from wall plate to wall plate, which means there is no need for a costly Party Wall Agreement.
A demonstration video can be seen on-line at www.i-loft.co.uk.
Why Convert Lofts Using I-Joists? • • • • • • •
No need to install steel girders. No need to hire a crane. I-joists installed from wall plate to wall plate. No need for a Party Wall Agreement. Light weight. Loft conversions also possible in timber frame houses. Suits roof slopes of 30° or greater.

Remove the JES before cutting and drilling the I-joist.
Step 2
JES (Joist End Support) Patent Pending
Cut and drill the I-joist. Use a 6mm diameter drill bit to create the holes.
Step 3 Securely install a JES on both sides of the I-joist using the M6 x 30mm stainless steel Hex bolts and nylon washers supplied. Note the position of the lip on the JES which must be installed with the lip following the top-most edge of the adapted I-joist.
Step 4 Position I-joist in between the existing trusses as shown, ensuring that a minimum 90mm of end bearing is achieved.

VP Loft Vent Plate The VP is part of the I-Loft system. The vent plate is a 1.2mm thick, 300mm long galvanised steel plate which provides a fast and cost effective solution to providing ventilation in the roof space. Once installed, it allows the six 20mm diameter holes to be drilled, whilst maintaining the strength of the solid sawn timber. By providing a ventilation path though the roof, over the insulation in the loft conversion ceiling, the condensation problems arising from the difference in temperature between the inside and outside are avoided.

HGUS/HGUQ Face Fix Girder Truss Hanger The HGUS is a joist hanger for supporting mono trusses and girder trusses from timber members. The HGUQ version uses SDS screws instead of nails for even faster and easier installation.
HGUS: Double shear nailing allows distribution of the carried members load through two points on each nail for greater strength (see illustration).
HGUS Installation: • • •
Use all specified fasteners. Verify the header can take the required fasteners specified below. 75mm nails must be driven at 45° through the joist dome, pan or obround nail holes, into the joist , then the header to achieve the table loads.
HGUS
Double Shear Nailing Unique double shear nailing feature guides the joist nails into the joist at a 45° angle. This provides easier nail driving as the installer doesn’t need to swing the hammer sideways.
HGUQ: The SDS screws help transfer the load between plies of the supporting truss when they penetrate all plies.
HGUQ Installation: Use all specified fasteners.
HGUQ Above

VPA Variable Pitch Connector An engineered one-piece connector for attaching I-Joist rafters to wall plates. •
The VPA is adjustable to slopes between 15° and 45° with a special interlock design indicating when the maximum pitch is reached. This product complements the versatile LSSU. Designed for use with double 38mm top plates with a 50mm seat, which allows sufficient bearing area for most rafters. No notching is required when using the VPA. This connector reduces the need for bevelled plates and toenailing. It has positive angle nailing to speed installation and to minimise wood splitting.
•
•
Material: Pre-galvanised mild steel. Installation: • • •
Use all specified fasteners. Face fasteners attached to both upper and lower top plates. See VPA installation sequence shown.

IC Insulation Clip The IC Insulation clip provides a quick and simple method of retaining rigid insulation within a timber frame panel, creating a controlled gap for services. The IC saves time by allowing the insulation to be installed from the same side as the sheathing, which elminates the need to turn the panel during construction. And since it fixes to the stud via the speed prong feature - no nailing is required.
• Sizes to suit common stud widths. • Multiple depths to suit common thickness of rigid insulation. • Insulation installed same side as the sheathing - panel no longer needs to be turned during construction. • No nails required, speed prong feature fixes into the stud. • Split into two halves for single use around door and window openings, cripple studs and panel end studs • Manufactured from 0.5mm galvanised steel.
Installation: 1. Make up the timber frame panel with the top and bottom rails and studs. 2. Position IC clip on the studs and fix. 3. Cut rigid insulation to size and push fit between the studs. 4. Fix sheathing board onto the panel.

It’s manufactured using minimum material section for optimum sound performance. This allows the tie to meet the requirements of Part E of the Building Regulations (Resistance to the Passage of Sound), whilst incorporating a unique stiffening rib for maximum structural capacity. The Party Wall Tie has cavity widths of 50, 62 and 75mm stamped on the upper surface to help check for a consistent cavity width up through the building. As it has been designed specifically for purpose, the nail holes (just four 3.75 x 30mm at each end) are positioned to ensure the minimum edge distances are always achieved. • • • •
Meets the requirements of Part E of The Building Regulations (Resistance to the Passage of Sound). Suits timber frame party wall cavities from 50 to 75mm. Can be used on Closed Panel Construction – where 50mm stiffening rib helps to check that minimum 50mm cavity width has been achieved. Minimum material section for optimum sound performance.
Material: Pre-galvanised mild steel. Installation: • • • •
Quick and easy installation using only 8 No. 3.75 x 30mm square twist nails – 4 per side. Nails holes positioned to ensure Minimum Nail Edge Distances are always achieved. In order to minimise the risk of sound transfer, it is recommended that the PWT200 is installed at 1200mm centres, unless otherwise specified by the building designer or engineer. The PWT200 is to be installed at, or near ceiling level.

Technical Information Characteristic Values The characteristic values (Fk) have been determined in accordance with Eurocode 5 and ETAG 015, which are defined by the relevant European Technical Approval. The design values are obtained from the following formula:
Fdesign = Fk x kmod
ᵧ
m
Where: Kmod - modification factor, dependent on the service class, the duration of load and the type of material used.
ᵧ
m
- partial safety factor.

Load Application F1 - Tensile Force When application is with 2 brackets the tensile force occurs in the central axis of the joint.
When application is with 1 bracket only: If the structure prevents rotation or failure of the supported member, the tensile resistance is equal to half of the value for 2 brackets - otherwise: The tensile resistance of the assembly depends on the distance > between the vertical contact surface and the point of load application.
F2 & F3 - Lateral Force: When application is with 1 bracket only: the value of resistance is equal half of that given for two brackets.

Type of Application The characteristic values published are dependent on the type of application and material to which they are fixed. There are three main categories as shown below.
Fixing - Timber/Timber Type Beam/Beam
Fixing - Timber/Timber Type Post/Beam
Fixing - Timber/Concrete Type Beam/Rigid Support
For each of these types of application, full nailing conditions apply, ie. every nail hole is filled.
C-UK14 © 2014 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE COMPANY INC.
Timber Strength Class The values correspond to the the use of timber class C24 for structural applications. For a higher grade of timber the tabular values remain unchanged. For a lower class of timber the tabulated values should be factored down with the kdens coefficient as shown:

Designed to provide ties for trusses and rafters likely to be subject to high winds, this versatile range may be used for general purposes, strongback attachments and as all-purpose ties where one timber crosses another.
41
H2.5A and H4 may be installed in pairs to achieve twice the stated safe working loads. Where the truss thickness is less than 63mm install diagonally across from each other, as shown in the illustration below.
55
H2.5A
The H4 has a unique shape that requires fewer nails. The design allows for installation on the inside of the wall plate without interfering with the gypsum board or for installation on the outside of the wall plate without interfering with the cladding material.
150
Material: Pre-galvanised mild steel.

SWL’s are for one anchor. A minimum rafter thickness of 63mm must be used when framing anchors are installed on each side of the joist and on the same side of the plate. Uplift SWL’s are for the H4 sole plate installation 0.92kN; 1.58kN for H2.5A. When cross-grain bending or cross-grain tension cannot be avoided, mechanical reinforcement to resist all such forces should be considered.

Restraint Straps
HES/LES Heavy/Light Engineered Restraint Straps A direct replacement for traditional 2.5mm and 5mm thick restraint straps, the innovative design of these lightweight straps allows ease of handling and installation whilst maintaining the structural strength and robustness of much heavier weight types.
HES (inc. Mortar Key) L1
The HES (heavy engineered strap) & LES (light engineered strap) replace traditional heavy and light restraint straps in roof and floor construction. Reducing the thickness to 1.5mm allows the HES strap to span over the top of floor joists and the bottom chords of trusses without the need for notching. HES straps are less than 40% of the weight, quicker to fit, and overcome many fixing problems associated with traditional heavy straps.
129-150 L2
The LES is designed for vertical applications e.g. holding down wall plates. • • • • • • •
CE Marked. 1.5mm thick. Formed edge design gives additional strength on bend. Complies with BS EN 845-1. Quicker to install - can fit over top of floor joists and truss bottom chords. Easier to course with blockwork. No need to notch joists.
38 33 L2
Material: 1.5mm galvanised mild steel Horizontal strap installation:
Approved Document A of the Building Regulations requires lateral restraint to be provided at each floor at a maximum of 2 metre centres.

Restraint straps "perpendicular" to the floor joists are required to be held tight against the masonry and fixed across the first 3 joists.
LES
C-UK14 © 2014 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE COMPANY INC.
L1
Restraint straps "parallel" to the floor joists are required to be held tight to the masonry and be at least 1200mm long. The characteristic tensile strength for horizontal restraint straps should not be less than 8kN.
Vertical strap installation: Vertical strapping at least 1 metre in length should be provided at eaves level at intervals not exceeding 2 metres.

FMS Folded Mini Strap The FMS strap provides restraint to masonry walls when the walls are supporting joist ends. They make installation easier, quicker and more cost effective - without compromising on wall stability. In place of the heavy traditional 30x5mm strap at 2.0m c/c spacing, the FMS strap is installed to provide restraint at every joist end, whether built in or on hangers. So there’s no need to calculate where the straps go, or worry about getting one in the wrong place.

Simpson Strong-Tie® Connectors for Timber and Masonry Construction
Masonry Connectors and Wall Ties Recommended Positioning and Density For walls in which both leaves are 90mm or thicker, masonry ties need to be placed at not less than 2.5 per square metre (900mm horizontal x 450mm vertical centres). The ties should be evenly distributed throughout the wall area, with the exception of around openings and should be staggered where possible.
Insulation Board Where insulation board is installed within the cavity and restrained by ties with insulation retaining clips (Simpson Strong-Tie ref. IRC001), it may be necessary to reduce the horizontal spacing of the ties to 600mm. At vertical edges of an opening, unreturned or unbonded edges, and vertical expansion joints - additional ties should be used at a rate of one per 300mm (height) and located not more than 225mm from the edge.
Please note: ties should be embedded into the mortar. Not shown above for clarity.
Length of Tie and Embedment
C-UK14 © 2014 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE COMPANY INC.
Wall ties should be of the correct length to ensure they are fully embedded in the masonry. The tie should have a minimum embedment of 50mm in each leaf, but also allow for site tolerances relating to the cavity width and centring of the tie. The recommended tie lengths will therefore achieve an embedment of between 62.5mm and 75mm. For the most suitable tie length, see the “Recommended Masonry to Masonry Tie Length” table (previous page).
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/m3. 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/m3.

ERS External Render Stop Bead
We strongly recommend the use of Stainless Steel or PVC-u products in external applications.
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 should be 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 the same 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 as should soluble chlorides as they are likely to increase the risk of metal corrosion.
SAB Angle Bead
Material: Simpson Strong-Tie Plastering Accessories are manufactured from either:Pre-Galvanised Mild Steel or Austenitic Stainless Steel MILD STEEL GALVANISED TO Z275 IS NOT SUITABLE FOR EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS. STAINLESS STEEL SHOULD ONLY BE USED IN EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS WITH THE APPROPRIATE CEMENT BASED RENDERS.

General Installation Notes: •
• • • •
The most appropriate bead should be specified in accordance with the application, required plaster depth and desired finish. In external applications, we recommend the use of stainless steel products. Ensure that all metal 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. 2. 3.
•
•
Installation of Pre-Formed Archframes
Pressing the bead’s wings firmly into plaster dabs placed at approximately 600mm centres both sides of the arris. The wings may be embedded into the first coat of plaster for normal two coat work. Nailing to a background with galvanised, or stainless steel nails.
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.

DML Expanded Metal Lathing
DML Expanded Metal Lathing
Ideal for use as a general reinforcement mesh. DML Expanded Metal Lathing is widely used as a backing to help prevent cracks occurring where different materials meet. Available in galvanised and stainless steel.
Installation: All metal components used in any particular application must be of the same material type. Fix with the mesh length running across the supports (at max 350mm centres) with strand sloping downwards and away from the face of the coating. Timber: Using 7mm headed plasterer’s nails 38mm long, or 32 x 2mm staples, fix to each support starting from the centre of sheet. Angle fixings away from the centre to give the lath the necessary tension. Steel: Bend 1.2mm tying wire into long “U”shapes and tie lath at 100mm centres by pulling tight and twisting. When cutting wire ends, ensure that they are not left near the surface of the plaster. Sheet ends should be overlapped by 50mm on supports and wired together at 150mm centres. Sheet sides should be overlapped by a minimum of 25mm and wired together at 150mm centres in timber and steel applications. Model No. Galvanised

Fixing of lath should follow BS EN 13914-1:2005 Internal Plastering and BS EN 13914-2:2005 External Rendering.The apex of rib lath should always be in contact with the fixing background.
Fixing to metal or timber supports: Timber: Use 38 x 7mm plasterer’s nails or 32 x 2mm staples to fix with ribs running at 90° to timber studs which should be at a maximum 600mm centres. Metal: Use 1.63mm or two strands of 1.22mm galvanised mild steel wire to tie around the rib where it crosses each steel stud. Steel studs should be at maximum 600mm centres. To join sheets of Rib Lath, the edge ribs should be overlapped and the edges tied at 150mm centres with 1.22mm tying wire. Where the ends of the lathing finish in front of a support, overlap by 50mm, otherwise sheets should be overlapped by 100mm with two 1.63mm ties used with each overlapping rib. Fixing to solid backgrounds: The ribs of the lath should be held firmly against the background by the use of fixings placed at 600 mm centres. End edges should be overlapped by 50mm, side edges by 25mm and tied or screwed at 150mm centres. We strongly recommend the use of Stainless Steel for external applications.

Archformers A high quality yet cost effective solution to creating internal arches in masonry walls.
Material: Pre-galvanised Mild Steel Installation: Arch formers are non-load bearing. If creating a new opening a lintel will be necessary. Selection: Measure the brick to brick width and thickness of gap. If necessary, cut arch using snips and a hacksaw or use a bridging section (ref BSP450). If wall thickness exceeds 150mm, select extra Soffit Piece (ref ESP295) for wall thickness up to 400mm. Fixing: Remove plaster down to brickwork and mark centre point of the gap on both sides. Nail arch segments into place using, masonry nails provided, connecting beads at centre with joining pieces supplied.
Archformer installation where new opening is being created.
If provided, fit Soffit pieces between segments with screws, nails and joining pieces. For walls of thickness less than 150mm join overlapping fixed soffits with self-tapping screws provided. For walls thicker than 150mm use extra soffit piece (ref ESP295) in the same way as above. To adapt an arch to fit between two parallel walls, cut and use wooden battens as shown in the illustration on the right. Plastering: When the arch frame is fully secured to the wall, use standard angle bead on vertical corners as usual and apply plaster directly to the mesh.

The recommended loads have been calculated using the partial safety factors for resistances stated in ETA-approval(s) and with a partial safety factor for actions of γᵧF=1.4. The loading figures are valid for unreinforced concrete and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s ≥ 15 cm (any diameter) or with a rebar spacing s ≥ 10 cm, if the rebar diameter is 10 mm or smaller. The figures for shear are based on a single anchor without influence of concrete edges. For anchorages close to edges (c ≤ max [10 hef; 60d]) the concrete edge failure shall be checked per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A. Concrete is considered non-cracked when the tensile stress within the concrete is σσL + σσR ≤ 0. In the absence of detailed verification σσR = 3 N/mm² can be assumed (σσL equals the tensile stress within the concrete induced by external loads, anchors loads included). Not included in the approval ETA-11/0080 - Option 7. For combined tension and shear loads or anchor groups and/or in case of edge influence, a calculation per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A shall be performed. For details see

1) The permissible loads have been calculated using the partial safety factors for resistances stated in the ETA-approval and a partial safety factor for actions of γF = 1.4. The permissible loads are valid for unreinforced concrete and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s ≥ 15 cm and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s ≥ 10 cm if the rebar is 10 mm 2) The permissible shear loads are based on a single anchor without influencing concrete edges. For shear loads applied close to an edge (c < 10 hef or < 60 d) concrete edge failure must be checked per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A. 3) Concrete is considered non-cracked when the tensile stress within the concrete is σL + σR ≤ 0. In the absence of detailed verification σR = 3 N/mm2 can be assumed (σL equals the tensile stress within the concrete as a result of external loads, forces on anchors included). 4) For combined tension and shear loads or anchor groups and/or in case of edge influence, a calculation per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A shall be performed. For details see ETA - approval(s).

Working Loads C-UK14 © 2014 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE COMPANY INC.
Working loads limit performance details have been determined from minimal values of tests carried out in Laboratories. Those minimal values take into account a minimal safety of 4 (SOCOTEC-DAZ 0816/1). Strength limits take into account the position of the anchors in the material and the respect of the installation instructions. For hollow materials of unknown resitance, tests on construction sites are necessary (according to
Sleeve SH See Page 30
BS 8539). SH sleeve should be used when fixing into hollow blocks or concrete. Tension

Steel failure decisive. The design resistances have been calculated using the partial safety factors for resistances stated in ETAapprovals(s). The recommended loads have been calculated using the partial safety factors for resistances stated in ETA-approval(s) and with a partial safety factor for actions of ᵧf=1.4. The load figures are valid for reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing ≥ 15cm (any diameter) or with a rebar spacing ≥ 15cm if the rebar diameter is 10mm or smaller. The figures for shear are based on a single anchor without influence of concrete edges. For anchorages close to the edges (c ≤ hef 60d) the concrete edge failure shall be calculated per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A. Concrete is considered non-cracked when the tensile stress within the concrete is σL +σR ≤ 0. In the absence of detailed verification σR = 3 N/mm2 can be assumed (σL equals the tensile stress within the concrete induced by external loads, anchors loads included). For combined tension and shear loads or anchor groups and/or in the case of edge influence, a calculation per ETAG 001, Annex C, design method A shall be performed. For details see the ETAapproval(s). Load values for carbon steel hot dip galvanised for threaded studs with undersized threads acc EN ISO 10684:
M8: Nrk / Nrd / NRec = 16.5 / 11.1 / 7.9 kN

Simpson Strong-Tie® Connectors for Timber and Masonry Construction
Mechanical and Chemical Anchor Systems
VAC/VAS Threaded Rod and Vinylester Capsule System Vinylester anchoring system for secure fixing into non-cracked concrete. Function: After drilling and cleaning the hole, the capsule is inserted into the hole and the anchor stud is driven with a rotating/hammering action. This breaks the capsule and mixes the contents. The resulting chemical reaction creates a durable expansion pressure free bond between the anchor stud, the reacted resin, and the concrete. Benefits:
• • •
Expansion pressure free
• • • •
This adhesive fixing system consists of a threaded stud and chemical-filled glass capsule.
•
The bond strength between the cured chemical and the drilled hole is dependent on the thorough cleaning of the drilled hole. Follow the installation instructions carefully.
Reduced permissible edge distances and spacings
During installation, the capsule is crushed and the rotating and hammering action mixes the contents. After the recommended cure time, the fixture can be installed and the fixing can be loaded. Capsule has shelf life of 2 years when stored correctly. Don’t use if capsule is damaged or if the contents do not flow in a honey-like fashion at room temperature.

Steel failure decisive. The design resistances have been calculated using the partial safety factors for resistances stated in ETA-approval(s). The recommended loads have been calculated using the partial safety factors for resistances stated in ETA approval(s) and with a partial safety factor for actions of Fᵞ = 1.4. The load figures are valid for un-reinforced concrete and reinforced concrete with a rebar spacing s ≥ 15cm (any diameter) or with a rebar spacing s ≥ 10cm, if the rebar diameter is 10cm or smaller. The concrete is considered non-cracked when the tensile stress within the concrete is ρL + ρR ≤ 0. In the absence of detailed verification ρR = 3 N/mm2 can be assumed (q = the tensile stress within the concrete induced by external loads, anchor loads included). For combined tension and shear loads or anchor groups and/or in case of edge influence, a calculation per TR 029, design method A shall be performed. For details see ETA - approval(s). For wet concrete, the curing time shall be doubled. Values for the temperature range I: -40°C to +80°C (max. long term temperature: +50°C; max. short term temperature: +80°C) Use CAT 1 for dry or wet concrete. use CAT 2: Flooded holes with the exception of sea water.
