2. Use 0.85 times table load for Hem Fir.
3. Parts should be centered on the face of the member to which they are attached.
4. Wood members for the '3' and '5' series must have a minimum width and thickness of 3 1/2" for table loads to apply.
5. Wood members for the '4' and '7' series must have a minimum width and thickness of 5 1/8" for table loads to apply.
