Typical WM Installation with Alternate Nailing Pattern (ANP)

Correct Nailer Attachment

The W, WP, WPU, HWU and HW series are designed to hang joists, purlins or beams. WM and WMU hangers are designed for use on standard 8" grouted masonry block wall construction.

Material: See tables.

Allowable Loads: For hanger heights exceeding the joist height, the allowable load is 0.50 of the table load.

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners. WM - two 16d duplex nails must be installed into the top flange and embedded into the grouted wall. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table.
Hangers may be welded to steel headers with 1/8” for W, 3/16” for WP, WPU and 1/4” for HW, HWU by 1 1/2” fillet welds located at each end of the top flange, see weld information. 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. For uplift loads refer to T-WELDUPLFT (WPU and HWU hangers only).
Hangers can support joists sloped up to 1/4:12 using table loads. For joists sloping between 1/4:12 and 3/4:12 use 85% of the table loads.
Web stiffeners are required for standard joist nailing configuration with these hangers.
Refer to T-SLOPEJST for information regarding load reductions on selected hangers which can be used without modification to support joists which have
shallow slopes (≤3/4:12).
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 grouted 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:

Specify alternate nailing pattern when web stiffeners are not being used (up to 16” in depth). Add X ANP after model number for nailing into the flange, available for 90° applications only. Uplift loads do not apply to this application.
See Hanger Options for hanger modifications and associated load reductions.
Joining multiple plies.

Some model configurations may differ from those shown. Contact Simpson for details.

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

Uplift values for the WPU and HWU hangers are for depths <18". Refer to uplift values in table below for taller depths.
Attachment of nailer to supporting member is the responsibility of the Designer.

16d sinkers (9 ga x 3”) may be used where 10d commons are called out with no load reduction.
Uplift loads are based on DF/SP lumber and have been increased 33% and 60% for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed. Divide (133) Load by 1.33 for normal loading such as in cantilever construction. For SPF use 0.86 x DF/SP uplift load.
SCL, structural composite lumber, is laminated veneer lumber, Parallam® PSL and TimberStrand® LSL.
Applies to LVL headers made primarily from Douglas Fir or Southern Pine. For LVL made primarily from Spruce Pine Fir or similar
less dense veneers, use the values found in the SPF column.
I-joist header with SPF flanges will support 2030 lbs.
WP/WPI quantity of nail holes in top flange varies.
Top Flange Hangers on the following pages with "I" in the model name (e.g. HWI) use the same design information in the above tables for the models without the "I" in the name (e.g. HW).
Minimum f'_m = 1500 psi. Refer to Installation Notes for further explanation of applications..
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.
