HUSC46 Concealed Flange Face Mount Hanger for Strong-Wall® Shearwall

HUSC and HUCQ Concealed Flange Face Mount Hangers
for Strong-Wall® Shearwall

Information on this page has been updated since the printing of the Strong-Wall Shearwalls Catalog (C-SW07).
For all Wood Strong-Wall Shearwall updates, see T-SWWOOD08 (Update to Strong-Wall Shearwalls Catalog) (PDF).

When attaching door and window headers to the Wood Strong-Wall®, only the HUSC46 or HUCQ410 may be used. The fastening pattern to the carrying member is grouped in toward the center of the hanger, thereby allowing installation in end conditions.

Installation:

Nailing into the end grain of the wall's top plate to install the HUSC results in allowable loads that are 0.67 of the table load.
Fastening into the end grain of the wall's top plate to install the HUCQ is not allowed.
When installing the HUCQ, omit the two Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive screws (SDS) closest to the point where the Wood Strong-Wall sheathing meets the post (see drawing below). Also, maintain a minimum end distance of 2" from the top of the Wood Strong-Wall post.
