LF I-Joist Hanger

LF

On This Page

This product is only available in Canada

The LF series is ideal for applications not requiring web stiffeners. The economical LF series comes with a height designed to support the top flange of the I-joist. This feature reduces installation time as well as material costs.

Material

  • 18 gauge

Finish

  • Galvanized

Installation

  • Use all specified fasteners. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table.
  • See General Instructions for the Installer for additional information.
  • Web stiffeners are not required with I-joists when the joist top flange is laterally supported by the sides of the hanger. I-joist manufacturers may require web stiffeners.

Options

  • These hangers cannot be modified. However, these models will normally accommodate a skew of up to 5°. For a sloping joist to 1/2:12, tests show a 10% reduction in ultimate hanger strength. Local crushing of the bottom flange or excessive deflection may be limiting; check with joist manufacturer for specific limitations on bearing of this type.

Uplift Resistances

  • Models have optional triangle joist nail holes for additional uplift. Properly attached web stiffeners are required.
  • LF — Add two additional 10d x 1 1/2" joist nails for a total factored uplift resistance of 415 lb. D.Fir-L and 375 lb. S-P-F (KD=1.15).

  1. 10d common nails may be used instead of the specified 16d nails at 0.83 of the tabulated value.
  2. Uplift loads have been increased 15% for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed. Reduce by 15% for standard term loading (KD=1.00) such as in cantilever construction.
  3. MIN nailing quantity and load values — fill all round holes; MAX nailing quantity and load values — fill all round and triangle holes.
  4. D-Fir.L factored resistances can be used for most LVL. Verify with manufacturer prior to selecting hanger.
  5. Web stiffeners are required when top flange isn’t supported laterally by the hanger.
  6. Web stiffeners are required when supporting double I-joists with flanges less than 1 5/16" thick.
  7. For 16- and 18-gauge, 3 1/2" wide I-joist hangers, web stiffeners are required when the factored reaction is greater than 2330 lb. (10.36 kN).
  8. NAILS: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3 1/2" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10d x 1 1/2 = 0.148" dia. x 1 1/2" long. See other nail sizes and information.
