Frequently Asked Questions
- What fasteners should be used to install the LUS24Z?
- 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) 0.148 in. x 3 in. Strong-Drive SCN Smooth-Shank Connector nails (Models: SD9112, SD9212, 10DHDG).
- What is the benefit of the double-shear nailing design on the LUS24Z?
- The patented double-shear nailing design distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, resulting in greater strength. This allows for fewer nails, faster installation, and the use of all common nails for the same connection.
- Why is ZMAX galvanization important for this hanger?
- ZMAX galvanization provides extra corrosion resistance, making the LUS24Z suitable for exterior applications and use with treated wood - including lumber treated with ACQ and other corrosive preservatives that can degrade standard galvanized finishes more rapidly.
- Can the tabs on the LUS24Z be bent or removed during installation?
- No. The tabs on the LUS24Z must not be bent or removed. Modifying the tabs can compromise the structural integrity and load-rated performance of the hanger. Always follow Simpson Strong-Tie installation guidelines and use all specified fasteners.
