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.

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.

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

Gauge: 12 (97) 50ksi
Finish: Galvanized – G90
Options:
Single BH Hanger:- W = 2-1.8″ for 2″ Flange Joist
Double BH Hanger:
- W = 4-1/4″ for 2″ Flange Joist

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.

Web Stiffener (JS)
Web stiffeners are used to provide reinforcement of joist webs to prevent crippling. Web reinforcement is often required by design to enhance the load capacity of joists. Web stiffeners are installed on the outside of the C-joist.
Material: 16 ga (54 mil) 50 ksi
Finish: Galvanized – G90
Installation:
Web stiffeners are centered within the load or reaction bearing width.
Web stiffeners require full bearing along their supported ends.
(4-6) #10 – 16 screws are required to attach the stiffener to the joist web using pre-punched holes. -
Solid Blocking (JB)
Joist Blocking is pre-cut to fit securely between joists to prevent joist rotation. Joist Blocking is a one piece system in lieu of the typical 3 piece detail offering an economical alternative to installing conventional clips and solid web members.
Material: 16 ga (54 mil) 50 ksiFinish: Galvanized – G90
Installation:
- Position the pre-cut Joist Blocking to fit securely between the joints.
- (4)#10 – 16 screws are required to secure the blocking to the joist flanges using the pre-punched holes.
- Solid blocking should be installed 7′ o.c. maximum along the joist length.
- Fits up to 2″ flange joist product.
- Blocking for flanges from 2″ to 3″ available as a special order.
