Frequently Asked Questions
- Why does this hanger require stainless-steel fasteners?
- Because the LUS26-2SS is made from stainless steel, stainless-steel fasteners must be used to maintain corrosion resistance and structural integrity - particularly in exterior environments or where treated lumber is present. Using dissimilar metals can cause accelerated corrosion and compromise the connection.
- 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. This design provides greater strength while allowing for fewer nails and faster installation, without sacrificing connection performance.
- What lumber sizes is the LUS26-2SS compatible with?
- The LUS26-2SS is designed for a nominal joist size of double 2x6 and double 2x8 lumber, with a seat width of 3-1/8 in.
- Are the LUS26-2SS hangers code compliant?
- Yes. LUS-series hangers are tested, load rated and code compliant, making them suitable for a wide range of structural applications where building code requirements must be met.
