LSCZ Adjustable Stair-Stringer Connector

The new LSCZ adjustable stair-stringer connector offers a versatile, concealed connection between the stair stringer and the carrying header or rim joist while replacing costly framing. Field slopeable to all common stair stringer pitches, the LSCZ connector is suitable for either solid or notched stringers.

Suitable for installation on 2x10 or 2x12 header/rim joist

Finish: ZMAX® coating

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners, see table. See General Notes.
Before fastening, position the stair stringer with the LSCZ on the carrying member to verify where the bend should be located.
Tabs on the LSCZ must be positioned to the inside of the stairs.
The fastener that is installed into the bottom edge of the stringer must go into the second-to-last hole.

Supported installations require bearing support within 12" of LSCZ.
Standard installations require bearing support within 4' of the LSCZ.
When cross-grain tension forces cannot be avoided in the members, mechanical reinforcement to resist such forces may be considered.
A minimum distance of 3/4" measured from the lowest rim-joist fastener to edge of rim joist is required.
A minimum distance of 3 1/2" measured from the LSCZ tabs to the end of the rim joist is required.
A maximum rim joist cantilever length of 12" measured from face of bearing support to end of rim
Simpson Strong-Tie® SD #9x1 1/2" screws may be substituted for 10dx1 1/2" nails to achieve published nail values if the extra screw is installed in the narrow face of stringer.
NAILS: 10dx1 1/2 = 0.148" dia. x 1 1/2" long. Nails shall be hot-dip galvanized. See other nail sizes and information.
SCREWS: SD #9x1 1/2" (model SD9112) = 0.131" dia. x 1 1/2" long. See SD screws.
