Frequently Asked Questions
- What size joist is the MUS28 designed to fit?
- The MUS28 is specifically designed to fit a 2x8 joist size, making it ideal for standard dimensional lumber framing and truss applications requiring that member size.
- What type of nails should be used to install the MUS28?
- The MUS28 should be installed with 10d common nails. The double-shear nailing design allows the use of all common nails for the same connection, eliminating the need for specialty fasteners.
- What is double-shear nailing and why does it matter?
- Double-shear nailing distributes the load through two points on each joist nail rather than one, resulting in greater connection strength. This means fewer nails are required to achieve the same or better load capacity, which also speeds up installation time on the job site.
- What corrosion protection does the MUS28 hanger have?
- The MUS28 features a G90 zinc galvanized coating, which provides a strong level of corrosion resistance suitable for medium-load truss and joist applications in typical construction environments.
