Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the advantage of the double-shear nailing design on the LUS26Z?
- The patented double-shear nailing design distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, providing greater strength. This allows for fewer nails, faster installation, and the use of all common nails for the same connection.
- What fasteners should be used to install the LUS26Z?
- Install with Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SD Connector screws: (4) #9 x 1-1/2 in. screws in the header AND (4) #9 x 2-1/2 in. screws in the joist, OR (8) 0.148 in. x 3 in. Strong-Drive SCN Smooth-Shank Connector nails (Models: SD9112, SD9212, 10DHDG).
- Is the LUS26Z suitable for use with pressure-treated lumber?
- Yes. The ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance specifically designed for exterior and treated-wood applications, making it appropriate for use with ACQ and other treated lumber types.
- Can the tabs on the LUS26Z be bent or removed to fit a specific application?
- No. The tabs on the LUS26Z must not be bent or removed. Modifying the connector in this way could compromise its structural integrity and load-rated performance.
