LJS Double-Shear Joist Hanger
This product is only available in Canada
Product Details
The LJS is a common face-mount truss hanger designed for quick installation. This double-shear joist hanger features dome-shaped nail holes that guide nails into the proper installation angle. This design requires only common nails for all connections.
Key Features
- Requires fewer nails providing a fast installation process
- Our patented double-shear nailing distributes the load through two points on each joist nail for greater strength
- These hangers cannot be modified but will accommodate a skew of up to 5°
Material
- 18 gauge
Finish
- Galvanized
Installation
- Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes
- Nails must be driven at an angle through the joist or truss into the header to achieve the tabulated resistances
- Where 16d commons are specified, 10d commons may be used at 0.83 of the tabulated factored resistance
- Not designed for welded or nailer applications
- With single-ply 2x carrying members, use 10d x 1 1/2" nails into the header and 10d commons into the joist, and reduce the resistance to 0.64 of the table value where 16d nails are specified
Options
- LJS hangers cannot be modified
