Frequently Asked Questions
- What size joist is the PF26Z designed to support?
- The PF26Z is designed for use with nominal 2x6 members, with a seat width of 1-9/16 inches to accommodate that member size.
- What fasteners are required to install the PF26Z?
- Installation requires (4) 0.148-in. x 3-in. nails. These purlin nails must be driven at an angle through the purlin into the header, and can be combined with top nails to achieve table loads.
- Why does the PF26Z use ZMAX galvanization instead of standard galvanization?
- ZMAX galvanization provides extra corrosion resistance compared to standard coatings, making the PF26Z suitable for exterior environments and applications involving treated wood where greater protection against corrosion is required.
- Can the PF26Z be field-modified to fit a different application?
- No. The PF26Z cannot be modified. It is engineered specifically for 2x6 members and must be used as manufactured to maintain its structural integrity and load performance.
