SES I-Joist End Seal

The SES Simpson End Seal provides a fast and effective solution to reduce air leakage
through ‘pocket masonry’ in block wall. Once installed, it removes the need for mastic
sealant around the perimeter of joists.
HES/LES Heavy and Light Engineered Restraint Straps

The innovative design of these new lightweight straps allows ease of handling and
installation whilst maintaining the structural strength and robustness of much
heavier weight straps. They save time in installation in both horizontal and vertical 129-150
applications and are CE marked.
MJC Multiple Joist Connector

The MJC allows two 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.
ITBS Skewable Top Flange I-Joist Hanger

The revolutionary ITBS reduces build cost, confusion, speed of installation and stock
holding. The ITBS 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.
HITB Heavy Duty I-Joist Hanger

The HITB is a hanger that eliminates the requirement for backer blocks when supported from
an i-joist header. The bottom flange location tabs and an open top flange provide enhanced
capacity and improved ease of installation.
HIUB Heavy Duty Metal Web Floor Truss Hanger

The HIUB hanger supports timber floor joists, or floor trusses, from metal web floor trusses.

The product incorporates the unique features of bottom flanges, which provide enhanced
capacity. The HIUB has open top flanges for improved ease of installation.
ETFSS Engineered Timber Frame Hold Down Strap

ETFS hold down strap provides restraint against uplift to timber frame structures keeping
them firmly on the terra firma no matter what passes by. The ETFS is the first timber frame
strap to be CE marked.
PWT Party Wall Tie

The PWT200 is the first connector specifically designed and engineered to connect the party
walls of timber framed buildings. The PWT200 is the first connector specifically designed
and engineered to connect the party walls of timber framed buildings.
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 cheaper - 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.

CE Marking:
A New Quality Standard 129-150
We were the first connector manufacturer in Europe to adopt the new CE

marking standard across our structural products range and the first in the
UK to manufacture fully CE marked products and throughout this edition of
our technical guide you will see many items indicated so.
Our European Test Laboratory located in Tamworth, Staffordshire is the

first manufacturer’s facility to achieve international standard
BS EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 - which means we are accredited to carry out
testing for CE marking and development testing acceptable to all members
of The European Organisation for Technical Approvals - who issue
European Technical Approvals (ETA’s) for products.
By continually demonstrating our industry leading approach to design and

manufacturing and through significant investment in our own testing
facilities, we have become the only Company to have so much trust placed
in our own standards and processes.
All this is your guarantee that our structural products meet all the building
regulations and standards, and your assurance that at
Simpson Strong-tie we never take quality for granted.

CE Marking: A New Quality Standard
Background
In 1985 a “New Approach to Technical Harmonization” was introduced through the European Commission (EC). A list
of Directives was formulated for a wide range of product types. E.g. electrical goods, toys...
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.
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.
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:
BS EN 845-1 Specification for Ancillary Components for Masonry

ETAG015 Three Dimensional Nailing Plates
Design Methods
European Design Standards, Eurocodes, are also being developed which will become compulsory early in 2010 and
supersede the existing national design codes.
The Eurocodes which impact on the Simpson Strong-Tie range of products are:

EN1993 Eurocode 3 Design of Steel Structures
EN1995 Eurocode 5 Design of Timber Structures
EN1996 Eurocode 6 Design of Masonry Structures
Most of the current UK national design standards are based on limit state design except for BS5268 for Structural
Timber Design which still uses allowable stress methods. 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.
In timber design the duration of loading also influences the design capacity and a modification factor is applied
dependent on the duration.
Connector down loads are typically Medium Term Duration with a kmod = 0.8
Connector uplift are typically Short Term Duration with a kmod = 0.9
8
This catalogue generally presents characteristic resistances for timber to timber connectors as Modified
Characteristic Resistances i.e. the characteristic value having been modified by the appropriate kmod factor.
Please note the kmod factor does not apply to masonry hangers and connectors.
129-150
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
OR Modified Characteristic Capacity / Partial Safety Factor on Materials = Design Capacity
Design Load < Design Capacity
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
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:
Ultimate or Failure Load

Characteristic Capacity1
x Kmod
Modified Characteristic Capacity 2

2. Value used in catalogue for timber to timber connectors unless described otherwise.

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 galvanized 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.

Masonry Hangers
SFJC Safety Fast Joist Cap

The SFJC is an innovative and unique product which enables a
safe, practical and robust solution that satisfies the requirements
of ‘Approved Document L’ of the Building Regulations.
CERTIFICATE No 04/4170
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.
• SFJC305/50 and SFJC305/100 models accomodate a large

range of joists types and sizes.
• SFJC225/50 specifically designed for 50mm solid sawn
joists up to 225mm deep.
• Air leakage around the joist end is eliminated.
• Wide face flanges provide an air tight seal.
MATERIAL: Black Polyproylene.
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 joists manaufacturers
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
SFJC
face on the masonry wall.
PATENT GB2392928,
SFJC225/50: SOLID SAWN JOISTS GB2393459
• Solid sawn joists up to 50mm wide and 225mm high can be installed directly into the

holes located in the side flanges.
SFJC305/50: SOLID SAWN JOISTS
• 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.
• Partly drive a 3.75 x 30mm square twist nail into the bottom chord of the joist in
front of the wedge to secure them in place.
SFJC305/100: 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. Typical SFJC305/100 Installation
• Nail in place with 2 No 3.75 x 30mm square twist nails per plate.
• Install horizontal restraint straps at maximum 2m centres

• 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.

Masonry Hangers
JHM/HJHM Masonry Supported Joist Hangers
JHMs and HJHMs are one piece non-welded joist hangers 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.
• Regularised Timber: we have added new sizes to our JHM range to suit regularised
timber. Use 47mm or 91mm width hangers for this new application.
MATERIAL:
JHM and HJHM: Pre-galvansied 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 powder actuated HJHM
fasteners.
• The shot-fired pins must be installed by a qualified person in accordance with the
manufacturer’s installation requirements.
OPTIONS
• 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.
• JHM can be shot-fired into steel. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie for details.
• Other widths and heights available to order. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie for details.
• JHM’s up to 61mm width can be skewed from 5 to 45 deg. See skewed hanger load
table.

SFJC Safety Fast Joist Cap

The SFJC is an innovative and unique product which enables a
safe, practical and robust solution that satisfies the requirements
of ‘Approved Document L’ of the Building Regulations.
CERTIFICATE No 04/4170
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.
• SFJC305/50, SFJC305/100, SFJC225/50 and SFJC225/100

models accomodate 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 Polyproylene.
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 joists manaufacturers
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
SFJC305/50 and SFJC225/50: I-JOISTS 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.
• For I-joist applications use the SFJC wedges to centralise the I-joist into the SFJC.
Tap wedges in to secure the the joist into SFJC.
• Partly drive a 3.75 x 30mm square twist nail into the bottom chord of the joist in
front of the wedge to secure them in place.
SFJC305/100 and SFJC225/100: I-JOISTS
• For use with single or double I-joists or solid sawn joists up to 100mm 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

• 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. Typical SFJC305/100 Installation
• 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 and adjust retaining nail.
• Also if necessary, fill the void around the joist with mineral wool.

SFHI/SFWHI Safety Fast Masonry Restraint Hangers

The SFHI Safety Fast Hangers are an innovative range of products that have been
designed to support timber joists, beams and trussed rafters from masonry walls
without the need of supporting masonry above the top flange.
SFHI
• Requires no masonry above the top flange to achieve the published
Safe Working Loads.
• Improved vertical and lateral load distribution.
• MiniStrap simply hooks onto the hanger.
• Enables the construction of the floor deck prior to the next lift of masonry.
• Reduces Health & Safety risks associated with the use of the traditional masonry
hangers with no masonry above.
• Eliminates the need for propping.
• MiniStrap provides lateral restraint capacity in accordance with NHBC and Zurich
guidelines.
• Allows for retrofit of lateral restraint straps.
• Web stiffeners are not required with I-joist to achieve the load tables.
MATERIAL:
SFHI: 2.5mm pre-galvanised mild steel.

SFWHI: 2.5mm mild steel
MiniStrap - 1.0mm pre-galvanised mild steel.
FINISH: SFWH: Hot-dip galvanised. PATENT NOS.

GB2316103, GB2354267
GB2390380
INSTALLATION: PATENT EP1200684
• Use all specified nails.

• Build masonry to required level, ensuring any coursing bricks or blocks are at least SFWHI
one course below the supporting block, and leave to cure.
• Place the Safety Fast Restraint Hanger over the inner leaf of blockwork, ensuring the
bearing plate is fully located onto the top of the masonry, sitting tight against the
front face and top of the blockwork.
• Sit the floor joists into the masonry hanger and ensure all joists are
correctly installed. The joists should be tight into the back of the hanger where
possible. The maximum gap between the back of the hanger and the end of the joist
is 6mm.
• Clip the Safety Fast MiniStrap onto the restraining hooks on the side of the hanger
and nail to the side face of the joist with three No. 3.75x30mm square twist nails.
INSTALL ONLY ONE PER HANGER - EITHER SIDE OF THE HANGER.
GENERAL INSTALLATION NOTES
• 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

SWL’s. Refer to joist manufacturer or supplier for joist capacity and maximum
construction loads. PATENT NOS.
• The floor decking must be securely attached to each joist before additional loads GB2354267, GB2390380
can be placed on the system. PATENT EP1200684
• NB. Floor decking and blockwork 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 of joist SWL’s are not
exceeded.

Timber Hangers for Solid Joists
JHA Joist Hanger with Adjustable Height Strap
JHA’S ARE A ONE PIECE, NON-WELDED, JOIST HANGER FOR

SUPPORTING TIMBER JOISTS FROM TIMBER MEMBERS. JHA270
Adjustable Hanger
• A galvanised joist hanger that provides greater joist support combined with ease of
installation that can be adjusted to suit height of joist.
• Simpson’s exclusive double shear nailing feature guides nails into joist at a 45°
angle. All hangers in this series have double shear nailing. This patented innovation
distributes the load through two points on each joist nail for greater strength. It also
allows the use of fewer nails and faster installation.
Timber Hangers
• This provides easier nail driving as the installer doesn’t need to swing the hammer
sideways. The nail is supported at the side of the hanger and at the header which
generates higher load capacities.
• 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 of most
models 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 EPC Patent Pending
hammer with the other! EP0745735
• The model number and size is stamped into the seat of most models for easy
identification of the hanger, even after installation.
• Regularised Timber: we have added new sizes to our JHA range to suit regularised
timber. Use 47mm or 91mm width hangers for this new application.
JHA450
Adjustable Hanger
MATERIAL:
JHA270—0.9mm pre-galvanised mild steel.
JHA450—1.5mm pre-galvanised mild steel.
INSTALLATION:
Three different installation methods are available depending on the availability of nailing
surface.
Maximum Nailing: All nails must be applied according to the table. The nails used for
the joist attachment must be driven at an angle so that the nails penetrate through the
corner of the joist into the header.
Minimum Nailing: For a lower installed cost the minimum nailing schedule can be
used when the maximum nailing load capacity is not needed. The nails used for the joist
attachment must be driven at an angle so that the nails penetrate through the corner of
the joist into the header. A minimum wrap over of 55 mm is required.
Loft Conversions: For applications where the hanger extends below the support.
Install top, face, and joist nails according to the table. A minimum wrap over of 55mm is
required or maximum nailing below the support. With no wrap over the SWL = 5.29kN.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR A 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 dowels 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.

MJC Multiple Joist Connector
THE MULTI JOIST CONNECTOR (MJC) ALLOWS TWO JOISTS TO BE

FIXED TOGETHER TO ACT AS A SINGLE UNIT, TRANSFERRING THE
INCOMING LOAD FROM THE LOADED PLY TO THE UNLOADED PLY.
MJC
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 I-Joists together, allowing them to act as a single unit.
• Easy to see that MJC’s are installed (whereas filler blocks are invisible).
• One size product fits all joist height and width combinations.
• Just one nail size required: 3.75mm x 30mm square twist.
MJC INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
Stage 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).
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.
Stage 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.

ITBS Skewable I-Joist Hanger
THE REVOLUTIONARY ITBS REDUCES BUILD COST, CONFUSION, SPEED

OF INSTALLATION AND STOCK HOLDING.
ITBS
The ITBS 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 ITBS is also fully adjustable from 22.5 to 67.5 deg skew,
reducing the need for ‘special’ skew hangers. Finally, the ITBS is a Backer Free hanger
removing the need for Backer Blocks in standard installation. Overall, the revolutionary
ITBS reduces build cost, confusion, speed of installation and stock holding.
• 45 deg skew, with site adjustable skew from 22.5 to 67.5 deg
• Non-handed hanger, can be left or right skew—adjusted on site, removing any

handing confusion and reducing stock holding.
H
• Eliminates the need for backer blocks when supported from an I-joist header.
• Open top flange improves ease-of-installation.
• Only one size of nail required - 3.75 x 30mm.
• Can be used on I-joist or Solid Joist headers.
• Optional nail holes for additional download.

ITT/MIT I-Joist & Structural Composite Timber Top Flange Hanger
ITT AND MIT HANGERS ARE A ONE-PIECE, NON-WELDED JOIST HANGER

FOR SUPPORTING I-JOISTS AND STRUCTURAL COMPOSITE TIMBER FROM ITT
TIMBER MEMBERS.
• Value-engineered for maximum performance. The offset seat feature allows better joist 35
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.
• Bend Tab Nailing: Nail the ITT’s special bend-tab with 3.75mmx30mm nails vertically into
H
the bottom flange of the I-joist when web stiffeners are not used. The bend tab can also be
nailed directly into the web stiffener. This constricts the I-joist, helping to reduce squeaks
resulting from joist movement.
• Reduced embossing on the ITT’s top flange, and the hanger height sized less than the joist
height allow easier fitting for smooth floor alignment.
• Patented Positive Angle Nailing: This feature is specifically designed for wood web I-joists
when used with the MIT.
6
• 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 50
the flanges while permitting time-saving nailing from a better angle. W
• These models will normally accommodate a skew of up to 5°.

INSTALLATION:
• Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Verify that the header can take the required
fasteners specified in the table.
• Face flange triangle hole (optional) secures hanger against header; optional diamond hole

45mm thick.
MATERIAL:
LBV: 2.0mm pre-galvanised mild steel;

BI: 2.5mm pre-galvanised mild steel.
INSTALLATION:
• Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. 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 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:
• Other widths and heights are available as a special order, contact factory for
details.
• LBV and BI series hangers can be skewed and sloped to a maximum of 45°. See
table for load adjustment factors.
• To order specials, put an X after the model number and add required directions
and dimensions: D=seat sloped down, U=seat sloped up, R=skewed right,
L=skewed left. Example: LBV359.5-2X D30 R45 is an LBV359.5-2 with a sloped

WPU/GLTV For I-Joist & Structural Composite Timber
THESE ARE A WELDED JOIST HANGER FOR SUPPORTING I-JOISTS

AND STRUCTURAL COMPOSITE TIMBER FROM TIMBER MEMBERS. GLTV
• These hangers offer the greatest design flexibility and versatility. 225
• GLTV hangers are designed for use with structural composite lumber
(PSL, LSL or LVL) headers and may take heavy loads. The top flange nails
are sized and specifically located to prevent degradation of the header due to 75
splitting of laminations.
MATERIAL: 75
WPU—5mm top flange, 2.5mm stirrup - mild steel.
GLTV—5mm top flange and stirrup - mild steel.
FINISH: WPU—Hot-dip galvanised; GLTV—Hot-dip galvanised. 130
SAFE WORKING LOADS: For hanger heights exceeding the joist height, the SWL
is 0.5 of the table load. If header is multiple plies of 45mm PSL, the GLTV SWL is the
lesser of the table load or 26.68kN. WPU
225
INSTALLATION:
• Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Verify that the header can take
65
the required fasteners specified in the table. 65
• 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 with all of these hanger styles.
• These hangers may be used for weld on applications. The minimum required
welds for the top flanges are 5mm x 38mm for WPU and 6mm x 63mm for GLTV,
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.
OPTIONS:
• Other widths and heights are available as a special order, contact Simpson
Strong-Tie for details.
• Straddle available-specify S dimension.
• These hangers can be skewed and sloped to a maximum of 45°. Check with the
• factory for WPU with a width of greater than 89mm for skewed availability. WPU Straddle Hanger
• 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 specials, contact Simpson Strong-Tie.

IUT/MIU/HIU Face Mount I-Joist Hangers

IUT, MIU AND HIU HANGERS ARE A ONE PIECE, NON-WELDED, FACE IUT
MOUNTED HANGER FOR SUPPORTING I-JOISTS FROM TIMBER U.S. Patent 5,555,694
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 H
need for web stiffeners. I-joist manufacturers may require web stiffeners.
• Nail the IUT’s special bend-tab with 3.75 x 30mm nails vertically into the bottom
flange of the I-joist when web stiffeners are not used. The bend tab can also
be nailed directly into the web stiffener. This constrains the I-joist, helping to
reduce squeaks resulting from joist movement.
6
MATERIAL: IUT: 1.2mm; MIU: 1.5mm; HIU: 2.0mm pre-galvanised mild steel.
B
ENHANCED UPLIFT LOADS: The IUT, MIU and HIU have optional triangular
nail holes for additional uplift. Properly attached web stiffeners may be required for W
Enhanced uplift. Please contact Simpson Strong-Tie for details.
MIU/HIU
INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Verify that the
header can take the required fasteners specified in the table.
• IUT—optional seat diamond hole allows pre-attachment of hanger to joist before
installation.
• 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.
• IUT’s bend-tab may be nailed unbent into plywood web stiffeners.
OPTIONS: Because these hangers are fully die-formed, they cannot be modified.
However these models will normally accommodate a skew of up to 5°.

HEAVY-DUTY HANGERS DESIGNED FOR APPLICATIONS REQUIRING ADDITIONAL STRENGTH.
• Composite HU hangers have round and triangle holes in the face and joist.
• 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: U: 1.5mm pre-galvanised mild steel. HU: 2.0mm pre-galvanised mild steel.
INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table.
Composite HU hangers can be installed according to two different nailing schedules. To achieve maximum published loads all round and
triangular holes must be filled with the specified fasteners.
OPTIONS: Slope and skew options available for all HU hangers. 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 HU 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. Specify HUC.
Minimum Width = 70mm for composite HU hangers.

• THAI-2 must be factory ordered for hanger width needed. See table for allowable
widths.
MATERIAL:
THAI: 1.2mm; THAI-2: 2.0mm pre-galvanised mild steel.
INSTALLATION:

Two different installation methods are available depending on the availability of nailing
surface.

Typical THAI Installation
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 ad-
ditional nail holes - not all holes are required to be filled to achieve listed loads.
Minimum Nailing:
For applications where the strap is wrapped over the top of the support. Install nails
into each strap at the face surface of the hanger and 3.75 x 30mm nails driven
downward at a 45° angle into the I-joist bottom flange. Then two nails into each strap at
the top of the support after forming tight bend. Bend top flange a minimum of 65mm.

LSSU/LSU Light Slope & Skew Adjustable Hangers
WITH THESE SITE ADJUSTABLE HANGERS, YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE THE RIGHT
HANGER AVAILABLE FOR THOSE SPECIAL RUSH PROJECTS.
This versatile range of products attaches joists/rafters to timber supports at any slope, up or down or at any skew, left of right up to and
including 45o. All models are slope and skew adjustable on site, excluding the LSU35010-2 and LSU4.12.
MATERIAL: LSSU410: 1.5mm, all others 1.2mm pre-galvanised mild steel.
INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Bend only once. To ensure proper seat installation, install the
bottom nails before the side nails. Attach the sloped joist at both ends so the horizontal force developed by the slope is fully supported by
the carried members. Web stiffeners are required with I-joists using this hanger style. For field skewing, see install sequence below.

• 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 beveled plates and toenailing. It has positive angle nailing to
speed installation and to minimise wood splitting.
INSTALLATION:

• Face fasteners attached to both upper and lower top plates.
• See VPA installation sequence shown.

THA250 Adjustable Truss Hangers
THA’S ARE A ONE PIECE, NON-WELDED, JOIST HANGER FOR

SUPPORTING TRUSSED RAFTERS AND COMPOSITE TIMBERS FROM
TIMBER MEMBERS.

• The model number and size is stamped onto the seat of most sizes for easy
• A galvanised truss shoe that provides greater support for the truss, combined with
ease of installation that can be adjusted to suit the height of the girder bottom
chord.
• Wider strap provides more surface area on the supporting girder 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 on most sizes
providing correct installation information for site operatives.
• Speed-prong on most sizes 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.
INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Two different
installation methods are available depending on the availability of nailing surface.
• 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 for the THA250, six 75mm nails in joist at 45° angle.
• Minimum Nailing: For applications where the strap is wrapped over the top of
the support. Install nails into each strap at the face surface of the hanger and for the
THA250, 75mm nails at a 45° angle through the joist into the support.
• Bend top flange a minimum of 55mm for the THA250.

SDS Metal Web Joist Screws
SIMPSON STRONG-DRIVE® SCREWS CAN BE USED FOR A FAST AND EFFECTIVE CONNECTION
OF THE TIMBER FLANGES OF A 2-PLY OPEN WEB FLOOR JOIST.
Simpson Strong-Drive® Screws are in 2 styles, SDS¹/4 and SDS6, dependent on the length
as shown below. SDS¹/4 – features a ³⁄ 8 hex head (driver supplied). SDS6 – features a T30 T star head (driver supplied).
SDS6
INSTALLATION
• No pre-drilling required.
• Install screws from one side of joist.
• For best installation use a low speed drill.
• Install the bottom of the screw head integral washer flush to the surface of the member being connected.
SH
• Do not over-drive Strong-Drive screws.

• Minimum pointside penetration of 50mm into last ply required.
• Strong-Drive screws are recommended for use in dry environments. Care should be taken during construction to
prevent prolonged exposure to water or wet weather. L1
DESIGN AND DETAILING
• Flanges to be a minimum of 47mm deep.

• Screws shall be installed within 300mm either side of a concentrated load to be considered effective in transferring
load. It is common practice to facilitate handling of the multi ply to also install screws uniformly distributed along
the length of the joist at centres not exceeding 600mm.
• Gap between trusses not to exceed 3mm. T
• Floor sheathing to be attached to the top of both floor joists by nailing, screwing or gluing.
• If screws are installed in the wrong face, install additional screws in the correct face with a maximum spacing of
2x the required spacing but not exceeding 600mm c/c. Offset the additional screws from the existing screws to
prevent splitting.
• Do not install Strong-Drive screws through the metal web plates unless approved by the joist manufacturer;
pre-drilling would be required.
• The floor designer must ensure each joist is designed for the appropriate loads considering the location of the
applied loads.
• Individual screw locations may be adjusted up to 75mm to avoid conflicts with other hardware or timber defects.

HES/LES Heavy and Light Engineered Restraint Strap
THE INNOVATIVE DESIGN OF THESE NEW LIGHTWEIGHT STRAPS

ALLOWS EASE OF HANDLING AND INSTALLATION WHILST
MAINTAINING THE STRUCTURAL STRENGTH AND ROBUSTNESS
OF MUCH HEAVIER WEIGHT STRAPS.
HES
Developed as an alternative to the traditional “heavy” and “light” restraint strap. (inc. Mortar Key)
They save time in installation in both horizontal and vertical applications and are
CE marked.
The HES (heavy engineered strap) & LES (light engineered strap) replace
traditional heavy restraint straps in roof construction. By reducing the
thickness to 1.5mm allows the HES strap to span over the top of truss bottom
chords without the need for notching.
They are less than 40% of the weight, quicker to fit, and overcome many fixing
problems associated with heavy straps.
The LES is designed for vertical applications e.g. holding down wallplates, and is
also CE marked.
• CE Marked.
• 1.5mm thick.
• Formed edge design gives additional strength on bend. LES

Note reduced
• Complies with the BS EN 845. height of sides.
• Lighter, less than 40% of the weight of traditional straps.
• Quicker to install - can fit over the top of truss bottom chords.
• Easier to course with blockwork.
• No need to notch joists.

CJGCCWS/CJSCCWS Crack Control Wall Starter
PREVENT THE APPEARANCE OF MOVEMENT CRACKING

IN NEW DOMESTIC CONSTRUCTIONS.
Many new domestic constructions suffer from movement cracking. Drying shrinkage and settlement are the most
common causes. These cracks rarely effect the structural stability of the extension but do look unsightly and give
the home-owner cause for concern.
The Crack Control Wall Starter assists any movement to take place where the new wall joins the existing wall.
By using sleeved ties and no mortar to the vertical joint the Crack Control Wall Starter makes allowance for
shrinkage movement and provides little resistance to vertical settlement.
• Suitable for up to three storeys.

• Lateral restraint from only ten ties per storey height.
• Suitable for wall up to 250mm thick.
MATERIAL:
Stainless Steel Ties: 1.5mm stainless steel.
Mild Steel Ties: 2.0mm mild steel with Delta Coating.
Sleeves: 1.0mm PVC.
Coach Screws: M6 x 50mm stainless steel or galvanised.
FINISH: Stainless steel or pre-galvanised mild steel with black epoxy coated powder finish.
INSTALLATION:
• Offer one wall starter length to the lower wall surface. Plumb and mark out three fixing holes at the bottom,
centre and top of the wall starter.
• Drill and plug wall with a 10mm masonry drill. Use the three fixing screws and retaining washers to clamp
the wall starter to the wall. Repeat this process until the desired height is reached, cutting the final length of
wall starter if necessary.
• Begin constructing the wall, omitting mortar from the vertical joint between the existing and new walls,
making sure they abut tightly.
• Twist in the first sleeved tie 225mm from the base of the wall starter and press into the bed joint mortar.
• Continue fitting ties at maximum 225mm vertical intervals as the wall is constructed. A mastic sealant

should be applied to the external vertical joint.

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-Ties 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.

• 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. Pressing the bead’s wings firmly into plaster dabs placed at approximately 600mm centres both
sides of the arris.

3. Nailing to a background with galvanised, or stainless steel nails. Pre-Formed Archframes
• The alignment of butt joints may be assisted by the application of headless nails, or wire of similar
material, within the nosing.
• 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).

You might be interested to learn that every box of Simpson Strong-Tie hangers comes with access to our
dedicated Training Academy. That’s because we believe correct specification of hangers is just as
important as correct supply.
We were the first connector company to offer CPD approved material. Over the last three years we’ve

trained more designers, production staff, architects and engineers than the rest of the connector suppliers
put together. And to this day we continue to run more courses than the competition combined.
It’s yet another example of our Dedicated Support for the Engineered Timber industry.
Our dedicated team of professionals are constantly working to provide you with new products and services
that help you build faster, safer and more profitably.
