WM/WMI/WMU Hangers

See Top Flange Hanger Tables for sizes, fasteners and load information.

WMs are designed for use on standard 8" grouted masonry block wall construction.

Material: See Top Flange Hanger Tables for sizes, fasteners and load information; WM, WMI, WMU - 12 ga. top flange and stirrup

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

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 grouted wall can take the required fasteners specified in the table.
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.
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).

Options:

Uplift loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading; no further increase allowed.
Divide by 1.60 for normal loading, for example, in cantilever construction.
Mid-Wall Installation (see installation notes and figures) - minimum f'_m = 1500 psi.
Top of Wall Installation (see installation notes and figures) - minimum f'_m = 1500 psi.
Products shall be installed such that the Titen screws are not exposed to the weather.
NAILS: 16d DPLX = 0.162" dia. x 3 1/2" long, 10dx1 1/2 = 0.148" dia. x 1 1/2" long. See other nail sizes and information.
