  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
