Steel Joist Hanger (S/HJCT)

New improved higher load capacity joist hangers. The increased thickness of the S/HJCT increases the allowable load capacity to use with joists. Joist can be attached from either side or doubled up. This hanger can be used with either steel or wood headers.

Material: 12 ga (97 mil) 50 ksi

Finish: Galvanized - G90

Installation:

• Attach hanger with specified fasteners.
• Use round holes for minimum load, use round and triangle holes for maximum load.
• May be used for weld-on applications. The minimum required weld to the top flange is 1/8" x 2 1/2" fillet weld to each side of top flange. Consult the code for special considerations when welding galvanized steel.

More Features:

• Uni-directional: Joist can be attached from left or right.
• One size fits joists 8" through 14" deep.
• Optional holes for additional load capacity.
• Simplicity of design.
• Quick and easy installation.
• Field skewable up to 45 degrees left or right.
  

Hangers (S/LBV)

Precision forming with manufacturing quality control provides dimensional accuracy and helps ensure proper bearing area and connection. S/LBV flanges encapsulate the top flange of the joists.

Material: S/LBV - 14 ga (68 mil) 50 ksi

Finish: Galvanized - G90

Installation:

• S/LBV may be used for weld-on applications; a minimum of 1/8" x 2" fillet weld on each top flange is required. Distribute the weld equally on both top flanges. Consult the code for special considerations when welding galvanized steel. Uplift loads do not apply.

Options:

• Skew only: S/LBV series can be skewed to a maximum of 45 degrees.

Framing Plates (LTP5)

The LTP5 spans subfloor at the top of the blocking or rim joist. The embossments enhance performance and allows for design flexibility.

Material: LTP5 - 20 ga (33 mil) 33 ksi

Finish: Galvanized - G90

Installation:

• Use all specified
  
  

Ledger Connector System (ICFVL)

The ICFVL Ledger Connector System is engineered to solve the challenges of mounting steel ledgers to insulated concrete form (ICF) walls. Simpson's ICF component of the system, the ICFVL, is designed to provide both vertical and lateral, in-plane performance. The system is still quick, versatile and easy to use but now provides so much more! There are many benefits over traditional anchor bolting, including better on center spacing in most cases, faster installation and no protrusions.

Simpson's ICFVL is made from galvanized, 14 gauge steel. The embedded legs are embossed for additional stiffness and the hole allows for concrete to flow through and around the connector. The exposed flange on the face of the ICF provides a structural surface for mounting a steel ledger.

Material: ICFVL - 14 ga (68 mil) 50 ksi

Finish: Galvanized - G90

Installation:

ICFVL

• Snap a chalk line for the bottom of the ledger.
• Mark required on center spacing.
• Use ICFVL flush to the face of the ICF.
• Cut kerfs as marked.
• Insert ICFVL flush to the face of the ICF.
• Place concrete

Steel Ledger Attachment

• Position the ledger level to the chalk line and against the ICFVL.
• Attach with four 1/4-14x 3/4', #2 drill point screws (not provided).
• All screws should be located at least 1/2" from the edge of the ICFVL.
• Space screws evenly.

Bridle Hangers (BH)

• Available heights (A) 6", 8", 9 1/4", 10", 11 1/4", 12", 14" and 16"

Material: Bridle Hanger - 12 ga (97 mil) 50 ksi

Finish: Galvanized - G90

Installation:

• Bridle Hanger (12 ga) used for attachment of floor or roof joists to cold formed steel beams and structural steel beams.

Reinforcing and Skewable Angles (S/LS)

S/LS angles are load rated and provide the correct thickness and number of fasteners the specifier is looking for compared with field fabricated clip angles. General utility reinforcing angles with multiple uses. S/LS-Field-adjustable angles attach members intersecting at angles.

Material: S/LS - 18 ga (43 mil) 33 ksi

Finish: Galvanized - G90

Installation:

• Use all specified fasteners.
• S/LS-field-skewable; bend one time only.
• Joist must be constrained against rotation when using a single S/LS per connection.

Coiled Straps (CS)

CS are continuous utility straps which can be cut to length on the job site. Packaged in lightweight (about 40 pounds) cartons.

Finish: Galvanized - G90

Installation:

• Use all specified fasteners.
• Refer to the applicable code for minimum edge and end distances.
• The table shows the maximum allowable loads and the screws required to obtain them. Fewer screws may be used; reduce the allowable load by the code lateral load for each fastener subtracted from each end.
