Load Tables

See Hanger Options for hanger modifications, which may result in reduced loads.

U Series Modifications and Associated Load Reductions

U/HU/HUC Series Modifications and Associated Load Reductions
  1. Modified seat is sloped, skewed, or both. If sloped only or skewed only, use a smooth-shank stainless-steel reduction of 0.65.
  2. Skews over 50° require a square-cut joist.
Reduction Factor Instructions

Allowable Download = Seat x Flange x Stainless Steel Nails x Other Fastener Substitutions x Table Load
Allowable Uplift =
  0.75 x Face Fastener Type x Table Load for skewed or sloped
  1.00 x Face Fastener Type x Table Load for non-skewed or non-sloped
