Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes the double-shear nailing design beneficial?
- The patented double-shear nailing design distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, providing greater strength. This means fewer nails are required, installation is faster, and all common nails can be used for the same connection.
- What fasteners should be used to install the LUS44Z?
- Install with Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SD Connector screws: (4) #9 x 1-1/2 in. screws in the header AND (2) #9 x 2-1/2 in. screws in the joist, OR (6) 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SCN Smooth-Shank Connector nails (Models: SD9112, SD9212, 16DHDG).
- Is the LUS44Z suitable for outdoor or treated-wood use?
- Yes. The LUS44Z features ZMAX galvanization, which provides extra corrosion resistance specifically designed for exterior and treated-wood applications.
- Can the tabs on the LUS44Z be bent or removed during installation?
- No. The tabs on the LUS44Z must not be bent or removed. Joist nails must also be driven at an angle through the joist or truss into the header to achieve the rated table loads. The hanger is not designed for welded or nailer applications.
