The higher JHM side flange significantly enhances resistance to joist rotation, providing greater stability to the structure.
The built-in inspection slot allows for easy visual checks of the connection integrity from ground level, simplifying maintenance and quality assurance.
This is a heavy-duty hanger designed for demanding structural applications, particularly those involving masonry support. It may be over-specified for light-duty use. Always consult structural plans for suitability.
Fastener selection depends on the specific load requirements and the substrate material (masonry type, wood type). Always refer to Simpson Strong-Tie's product documentation or consult a structural engineer for recommendations.
Yes, the hanger is corrosion resistant, making it suitable for exterior applications where exposure to the elements is expected.
The embossments create a more rigid structure in the top flange, preventing it from deforming under load and maintaining its intended shape for optimal performance.
These holes allow mortar to penetrate and bond with the hanger, creating a stronger, more integrated connection between the hanger and the masonry support.
Ensure the masonry surface is clean and level. Verify that the correct hanger model is being used for the specific application and lumber size.
Confirm that the higher JHM side flange is properly engaged with the joist. Ensure all required fasteners have been installed correctly and tightened to specifications. Double-check that the hanger is suitable for the load and joist size.
Ensure the holes for mortar keying are clear and free of debris. Verify that the mortar mixture is appropriate for the application and properly applied within and around the hanger.
While designed for corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to highly aggressive environments may cause surface discoloration. Ensure the product is used within its intended environmental specifications. If significant degradation occurs, consult the manufacturer.
Setup: Installation requires adherence to Simpson Strong-Tie's specific guidelines to ensure optimal performance. This typically involves proper placement on the masonry support, ensuring the top flange has full contact. Fasteners must be selected based on the load requirements and the substrate material, and installed through the designated holes for secure attachment. The hanger should be integrated with the masonry and framing elements before the structure is fully loaded.
Compatibility: This hanger is designed for use with masonry structures and standard dimensional lumber. Ensure compatibility with the specific types of masonry (e.g., concrete block, brick) and lumber dimensions being used. Consult structural plans or a qualified engineer for application-specific compatibility.
Care: Due to its corrosion-resistant nature, routine cleaning is generally not required. However, periodic inspection for any signs of damage or unusual wear is recommended, especially in harsh environments. Ensure the inspection slot remains clear to facilitate this.
