W/WP/WM Plated Truss Top Flange Hangers

Typical WM Installation
with Alternate Nail Pattern
(ANP) for 4x2 Truss

Typical WP
Installation with Alternate
Nailing Pattern (ANP)
for 4x2 Truss

The W and WP hangers offer design flexibility and versatility supporting trusses off of wood or steel. WM hangers are designed for use on standard 8" grouted masonry block wall construction.

Material: W, WM - 12 gauge top flange and stirrup,
WP - 7 gauge top flange and 12 gauge stirrup.

Finish: Simpson Stront-Tie® gray paint; hot-dipped galvanized available: specify HDG.

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners.
Hangers may be welded to steel headers with 1/8" for W, and 3/16" for WP, by 1 1/2" fillet welds located at each end of the top flange. Weld-on applications produce maximum allowable load listed. Uplift loads do not apply to this application.
Hangers can support multiple-ply carried members; the individual members must be secured together to work as a single unit before installation into the hanger.
Mid-Wall Installation: Installed between blocks with duplex nails cast into grout with a minimum of one grouted course above and below the top flange and one #5 vertical rebar minimum 24" long in each adjacent cell.
Top Of Wall Installation: Install on top of wall to a grouted beam with masonry screws.

Options:

For 4x2 trusses, specify “alternate nail pattern” (ANP) which relocates the nails to the bottom of the joist. See Hanger Options - W/WP Series and Hanger Options - WM Series for hanger modifications.

The table indicates the maximum allowable loads for W and WP hangers used on wood nailers. Nailers are wood members attached to the top of a steel I-beam, concrete or masonry wall.

16d sinkers (9 ga x 3") may be used where 10d commons are called out with no load reduction.
Uplift loads have been increased 60% for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed. For normal loading applications such as cantilever construction refer to Simpson Strong-Tie® Connector Selector™ software or conservatively divide the uplift load by 1.6.
WM hangers are limited based on joist bearing capacity for the specific wood species, up to the maximum test value of
4175 lbs. All headers are grouted masonry block.
Joist dimenstions do not include truss plate thickness.
NAILS: 16d and 16d DPLX = 0.162" dia. x 3 1/2" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 1/2 = 0.148" dia. x 1 1/2" long. See other nail sizes and information.

Wind (160) is a download rating.
"Min. H" is the minimum H dimension that may be ordered and desired H dimension should be specified. For hanger heights exceeding the joist height, the allowable load is 0.50 of the table load.
NAILS: 16d DPLX = 0.162" dia. x 3 1/2" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 1/2 = 0.148" dia. x 1 1/2" long. See other nail sizes and information.
