Notes:
1. G90 and G185 refer to galvanization requirements for ASTM A653 material.
2. Connectors galvanized to ASTM A123 may be used in place of either G90 or G185 coatings.
3. Other coating may be suitable for a given environment if the conditions are known and predictable.
4. For G90 or G185 connectors use fasteners galvanized per ASTM A153. For Gold Coat connectors use Gold Coat fasteners, and for stainless steel
connectors use stainless steel fasteners.
5. If the environment has the potential to contain elements which may make it more corrosive, the use of stainless steel is recommended.
6. MCQ is a micronized copper treatment such as Micro Pro by Osmose. µCA-C is a dispersed copper treatment manufactured by Arch Treatment Technologies.
Organic preservatives include L3 from Arch Treatment Technologies and EcoLife II from Viance, LLC.
7. For wood treatments not shown contact USP or the wood preservative manufacturer for recommended coatings.
8. Testing by USP has found that in interior applications where the treated wood will remain relatively dry during its service life the use of G90 connectors with
Gold Coat MCQ or µCA-C treated wood is appropriate.

Installation Notes

1) Use proper safety equipment during connector


installations. Always wear gloves when handling connectors.

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


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

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


products is critical to connector performance. To achieve the
allowable loads shown in this catalog, install with the

© Copyright 2009 USP Structural Connectors®


fasteners specified for that particular product. Some products
allow for alternate nail installations. Refer to the “Optional
Nails for Face Mount Hangers and Straight Straps” chart on
page 22 of this catalog for load adjustments when using
alternate nailing. All specified fasteners must be properly
installed prior to applying load of any kind to the connection.

4) Drill bolt holes a minimum of 1⁄32˝ and a maximum of 1⁄16˝


larger than the diameter of the bolt to be installed (per the
2005 NDS®, Section 11.1.2.).

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


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

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


long as the specified nails are installed through prepunched
nail holes and all specified nail holes are filled. USP
recommends the use of nail guns featuring hole-locating
mechanisms. Please note that many nail guns use fasteners
smaller than the common nail size and load reductions will
result. Contact USP or visit our Web Site for additional
information. Caution: Always follow nail gun manufacturer’s
safety guidelines.

7) Joists installed in hangers should bear fully on the


connector seat and shall be cut to fit against the header with
a gap no greater than 1⁄8˝ between the joist end and header
face.

8) Multiple-ply members must be fastened securely together


to act as one member.

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


hanger tight to the face of the header.

10) Top mount hangers installed in floor systems may


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

Wood Screws – WS series

The WS Wood Screw is a self-drilling screw used for numerous framing


applications. This screw features a reverse locking serration on the bottom of
the screw head to help prevent over tightening against a steel plate. The USP
Fasteners

head stamp identifies screws for easy inspection.


Serrations
Screw shear capacities are based on a diameter of 0.242˝ when the shear plane SH
is on the screw shank (SH) and 0.185˝ when the shear plane is on the knurl or
threads (T). USP WS Wood Screws have a bending yield strength of 217,000 Beveled reamer on
psi. For conditions not charted here, screw loads may be calculated as shown 2 1/2˝ or longer
in the NDS® and increased for duration of load. Wood Screws

Installation:
• Screws are self-drilling.
Self drilling point
• Install using a low speed clutch drill with 3/8˝ hex head driver. The washer
head should be flat to the surface and the serrations will oppose turning and
release the clutch. Do not over-tighten the screws. WS
• Installing the screw at an angle may introduce additional bending and tension
forces into the fastener if the screw head is not flat on the bearing surface. Care
should be given to ensure the fastener is installed perpendicular to the plane of
the side plate.

Joining 2 Ply 4x2 Floor Trusses


The following information pertains to the use of the USP’s WS6 Wood Screws to fasten together a two-ply 4x2 floor truss
girder, such that the induced loads are supported by both truss plys. Screw spacing and the location of each specific

Fasteners
screw may vary depending on the design criteria for each application, and therefore must be determined by the truss or
building designer. However, in the determination of screw locations, the following criterion shall also be considered.
These criterion are varying dependent upon how trusses are loaded as follows:
Uniform/Distributed Load
• Screws shall be installed into the top chord with a horizontal
Uniform/Distributed Load
spacing between screws of not less than 4-inches on center and
Applied distributed load
© Copyright 2009 USP Structural Connectors®

not more than 24-inches on center. WS6 Wood Screws


• A minimum end distance of 4-inches must be maintained. If
necessary, additional screws may be installed in the bottom chord.
• Center screw vertically on 11/2˝ dimension of top chord. If
splitting occurs, it may be necessary to pre-drill the holes in
accordance with the code.
• The screws shall be installed with the headed end of the screw
on the loaded truss. If either ply is “the loaded truss”, the screws
shall be divided between the two plys, with the spacing on each
side twice the minimum indicated above.
• The screws shall not be installed through the metal truss plates,
unless approved by the truss designer and the plates are
pre-drilled, on each side to a 1/4-inch diameter. Do not drill through Concentrated/Point Load
the wood.
• The maximum gap between the wood members of the two
Applied Concentrated Load
trusses shall be 1/8-inch. WS6 Wood Screw
• The truss designer shall design the truss members with the
capacity and capability of the screws in mind, and shall meet all
provisions of the code and ANSI/TPI.
• Individual screw locations may need to be adjusted to avoid
conflicts with connectors, problematic wood or other framing
members. Adjustments should follow the criteria described in this
section.
Concentrated/Point Load
The placement of fasteners for concentrated loading includes all
requirements of uniform loading with the additional following Additional Applied Concentrated Load
criteria: WS6 Wood Screw
if necessary
• Loads must occur over a vertical member, and the necessary 12˝
max
12˝
max
concentration of screws shall be installed in the vertical member.
• Additional screws may be installed on the top chord and
adjacent web members if necessary.
• The fasteners should be grouped as close to the concentrated
load as possible, but satisfy the same minimum spacing
indicated for uniform loading.
• In no case shall the required group of fasteners extend beyond
12-inches from the location of the concentrated load.

Undercut Anchoring Systems - DUC Ductile Undercut Anchors

Mechanical anchor expanded into a hole that has been undercut at the
bottom using an undercutting drill bit creating a true bearing type anchor
that performs like a cast-in-place headed anchor. Load is transferred into
the concrete through bearing, not friction like traditional expansion DUC
anchors. Excellent performance in seismic and dynamic loading Undercut Anchor
conditions. Meets ACI 318-05 Appendix D (2006 IBC) requirements as a
code anchor, including seismic loading, tension zone, and cracked con-
crete provisions.

professional may specify alternate anchorage with conventional anchor bolts.
• A design professional shall determine the adequacy of the stud to resist published loads.
Holdowns

When installing to multi-ply 2x studs, the designer must specify the fasteners required to bind
the plys together and resist splitting.
• Self-jigging models are designed to provide the required minimum end distance of 7 bolt
diameters from the bottom of the stud or post to the centerline of the first bolt hole.
• Tighten anchor bolt nuts to finger tight, plus 1/3 to 1/2 additional turns with a wrench. Wood Typical TDX2
members may shrink over time; if possible, nut tightness should be checked periodically. To back-to-back
prevent loosening of the anchor bolt nut during critical loading, use a locking nut or tighten a installation
second nut over the first to lock nuts in place.
• If used to anchor a built-up post, such as a double 2 x 4, the post component shall be
designed to act as a single unit. Holdown fasteners specified shall not be considered to attach

Sources of Deflection at the Shearwall Holdown Connections


Shearwall
The following are some of the sources of deflection that should be End Post
evaluated by the designer. See the illustration, which applies to other A Bearing
holdown configurations. Plates
A. Improperly-sized stud/post bolt holes – increased bolt slip can occur if B
stud/post bolt holes are oversized and exceed the 2005 NDS ® recommended
bolt hole diameter. C
B. Stud/Post bolt holes – bolt slip can occur.
C. Wood crushing at stud/post bolt hole perimeters – D
the use of larger washers/ bearing plates can reduce stress-induced wood
crushing at bolt bearing locations.
D. Eccentricity in stud/post caused by holdown –
holdowns installed on only one side of a stud or post result in an eccentricity E F Holdown
which causes increased stresses and movement in a shearwall system.
E. Nut spin – anchor bolt nuts that are not restrained can spin loose during
cyclic loading, allowing movement; the use of steel nylon locking nuts or thread H G
adhesive may prevent nut spin. I
F. Loose nuts – increased movement can occur when nuts are not sufficiently
tightened. Wood
G. Holdown deflection – holdown deflection can occur when the shearwall Sill Plate
system is subjected to cyclic stress from earthquakes or high wind.
H. Wood Shrinkage – due to drying, wood may shrink and cause bolted Holdown
Anchor Bolt
connections to become loose; periodic retightening may be required.
I. Localized crushing at wood-bearing surfaces –
excessive crushing at wood-bearing surfaces may result from compressive
forces due to overturning during high wind or earthquake loading. Foundation

• Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10. The bottom (2) nails are for
form board attachment only and do not contribute to fastener schedule requirements. W
• Embed holdown in concrete to the embedment line (bend line).
• See illustrations for requirements on rebar, edge distances, and clear spans.
• Bending the strap horizontally 90° to facilitate wall placement may cause concrete

behind the embedded strap to break away at the top edge (spalling). If the spall is 1˝ or
less from the top edge of the concrete, no load reduction is necessary. If the spall is
between 1˝ and 4˝ the allowable load is 0.90 of the published chart load. CS
• When installing on lumber less than 31/2˝ wide, wood splitting may occur. To reduce
splitting, use 10 d x 11/2˝ nails or fill every other hole with 16 d common nails. Reduce IE
allowable loads per code requirements accordingly.
• These straps do not secure concrete sections together at cold joints; take other D

measures to transfer the load. If there is a cold joint between slab and foundation, the
minimum embedment must be made into the foundation. Fastening opportunities may be STAD
reduced because the slab pour level may be higher than some nail holes. Using fewer
fasteners will reduce allowable loads. Reduce allowable load by the code capacity for W
each fastener not installed.
• To achieve full table loads the minimum center-to-center spacing is twice the
embedment depth (IE) when resisting tension loads at the same time.
• Where fewer fasteners are used in the structural wood member, reduce loads
according to the code.
• There may be an increase in the amount of deflection if the strap is installed on the outside L

Installation:
• Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.
• Insert into wet concrete after the pour. For the WE, embed the anchor so that the
base plate is flush with the surface of the concrete. For the WAS, embed the
anchor until the concrete surface meets the bottom edge of the stand off base
legs. This will provide a 1˝ stand-off where required. A 2˝ minimum edge distance
is required to achieve allowable loads.
• Not recommended for fence posts or other unrestrained (not fixed Typical WAS
or fastened at top) applications. These anchors are not designed to resist installation

Slant Nail Joist Hangers – HUS & JUS series

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

Top Flange Hangers


The thickness of the hanger metal and nail heads on top mount hangers must be evaluated for the effect on
subsequent sheathing. Ensure that the top mount hanger is installed so the flanges of the hanger are not
over-spread which tends to elevate the supported I-Joist causing uneven floor surfaces and squeaking. Similarly, ensure that
the hanger is installed plumb such that the face flanges of the hanger are mounted firmly against the
wide-face surface of the header.

Severely Skewed Hangers – MSSH series

USP’s MSSH217 hanger accommodates a skew range of 60° to 85° (30° maximum off
the girder) without the need for a more expensive custom design hanger. Face nail to
webs or bend the flange strap over the chord. Available in left (L) or right (R)
configurations.
Materials: 18 gauge
Finish: G90 galvanizing
Installation:
• Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.
• The 3 lower holes on each strap are for top nailing when the strap is bent over the MSSH217L

truss chord. These holes are not for face nailing. Left shown attached
• One or both straps may be bent over the bottom chord of the girder with top or to web and top of chord
backside nailing.
• Note: Select the correct (right or left) hanger so that the strap on the outside of the
angle will pass the end of the truss. When facing the hanger, the strap in the rear turns
in the direction of the skew. The front strap turns to pass behind the end of the carried
member.
• Attach the hanger at the end of the truss with a single 10d x 1 1⁄2˝ nail into the side
flange or bottom.
• Place the truss in position against the girder. Push the outside strap past the end of
the truss to the girder web and face nail through the top 8 holes with 10d x 1 1⁄2˝ nails
for a 1 ply girder, or 10d common nails for multiple-ply girders.

Plated Truss
• The strap inside the angle can be formed over diagonal webs (if design allows) or MSSH217R
bend over the girder chord. Use two nails into the top and/or back side of the girder. Right shown
• If the outside strap does not contact a web, bend the strap tightly over the attached to webs
girder chord. Use two nails into the top and/or back side of the girder.
• For uplift resistance, other means of attachment are required. If both the truss and 8 holes for
girder have vertical webs, attach a scab to pack out the girder web nearly flush with the face nailing
truss web and use a field adjustable MP framing angle across the two. A top chord
3 holes for
connection for uplift requires a flat LSTA strap tie wrapped under the girder and over the top nailing
truss chord. 2 x 6 or 2 x 8

Supplementary Bearing Plates – SBP series

Use the SBP instead of extra truss plys or nail-on scabs to distribute
concentrated truss reactions and avoid top plate crushing. The
two-piece design accommodates any number of girder plys. A
wraparound design gives superior uplift resistance, and reinforcement
ribs effectively distribute bearing loads. Works with both single and F2
double 2x4 or 2x6 top plates.

Job site splicing of long trusses is made easier with Truss Field Splice
Kits. The FS and FSS (for scissors trusses) includes a pair of plates,
bolts, nuts, and a Splice Clip for top chord alignment. Allowable loads are
sometimes limited by tension in the net section of the wood. Choose the
bottom chord size and species that will satisfy the tension requirement.
Analyze tension in the web to determine the required size.

Materials: FS & FSS – See chart, bolts, and nuts included

Truss Brace & Spacer (Stabilizer™) – ST24H

The Stabilizer™ Truss Brace & Spacer provides temporary construction bracing in the roof
and ceiling planes, as well as permanent lateral bracing for webs as specified by your truss
engineering.
24 o.c. Odd
The Stabilizer™ is easily installed by embedding the patented MII 20 teeth on the top Spacing
flange straight into the edge of the truss member to be braced with a framing hammer. The
side tabs are then secured by driving the teeth into the face of the truss member being
braced.

Materials: 20 gauge
Finish: G60 galvanizing

© Copyright 2009 USP Structural Connectors®


Codes: ESR-2362

Installation: Temporary Construction


• Use The Stabilizer™ for standard 24˝ o.c. spacing. For odd spacing, cut and insert a solid Bracing Installation
block between the trusses.
• Typically, The Stabilizer™ is installed at 6´– 8´ centers along the roof plane and 10´– 15´
along the ceiling plane. (Refer to engineering specifications BCSI 1-03, published by The
Truss Plate Institute for specific bracing requirements.)
• The Stabilizer™ must be supplemented with diagonal bracing in the roof and ceiling
planes and cross bracing in the web plane at required intervals.
• Web forces are not to exceed 8000 lbs.
Plated Truss

• The Stabilizer™ is properly installed when the top flap and side tabs are flush with the
member being braced. 25 1/4˝

Important: The erection contractor is responsible for determining and


installing the temporary bracing for the structure, including the trusses. It is
most important for the installer to provide adequate means for bracing the first
truss installed. The performance of the entire bracing system depends on the
adequacy of the ground bracing or other means of bracing the first group of ST24H Stabilizer™
trusses installed. The building designer is responsible for the permanent
bracing design of the overall structure including the truss. This includes the
design of required supplemental diagonal and cross bracing.

movement against the bridging and subsequent floor noise.
• MB16 – Two-piece unit is shipped as one piece. Bend unit in center up and down to
break into two pieces. Slide narrower piece inside wider piece, setting the end tab into
slot appropriate for joist spacing. Setting one prong end near the top of one joist and the
opposite prong end near the bottom of the opposite joist, pull down on the center of the
bridging until the wider piece snaps into place over the narrow piece and creates a rigid,
one-piece bridging unit. Wear gloves during installation.

1. Find the number of steps needed by taking the vertical drop from the deck surface to installation
grade. Divide by 7. Round off to the nearest whole number. (Ex: Vertical drop of 39˝

Miscellaneous
divided by 7 equals 5.57˝ rounded off is 6˝)
2. Find the step rise by dividing the vertical drop by the number of steps (39˝ divided
by 6 = 6.5˝)
3. Find the step run by measuring the depth of your treadboard (Ex: (2) 2x6s have a run 1 3/8˝
L 1 3/8˝
of 111⁄4˝)
4. Find the stairway span by multiplying the run by the number oftreads minus one
(Ex: 111⁄4˝ x 5 = 561⁄4˝) SCA9-TZ
• Using the above calculations, mark stair angle locations on each stringer. Attach a stair
angle to the inside of each stringer at the marked locations. Attach stringers to deck rim joist
and railing posts. Position treadboards on angles and fasten from below.

Manuf. Housing

1) "P" nails denotes fasteners designed specifically to be installed with a pneumatic-powered nailer. The fasteners shall be either of a type with round heads,
0.105˝ diameter and 1-3/8˝ long; or a "T" shaped head, 0.097˝ diameter, 1-1/4˝ long and hardened; or a similar but larger fastener.
2) Fasteners shall be pneumatically driven in such a way as firmly seats the nail head against the hanger steel, without embedding the nail head completely
through the plane of the metal surface, or otherwise punching through.
3) The quantity of nails installed shall be equally distributed to both sides of the hanger. The nails shall be located at 1˝ spacing in a row, with the vertical rows
spaced at 3/8˝; also no less than 5/16˝ from a sheared edge and no less than 5/16˝ from a formed edge.
4) Uplift loads have been increased 60% for wind or seismic load conditions; no further increase shall be permitted.
New products or updated product information are designated in red.
