IMPORTANT INFORMATION & GENERAL NOTES

Welcome to the 2012 addendum to our 2011 Wood Construction Connectors catalog.
Since the 2011 Wood Construction Connectors catalog is effective for two years, this brochure is intended to highlight new products and testing for 2012. It is also a good idea to visit www.strongtie.com occasionally to get updated on mid-year developments that are not included here.

Important Information in the 2011 Wood Construction Connectors catalog (C-2011)

There is important information pertaining to the specification and installation of Simpson Strong-Tie products that is included in the front section of the C-2011 catalog. Please see that catalog for the following: Corrosion information Important information and general notes Warnings about improper installation General instructions for the Installer General instructions for the Designer Limited Warranty and terms and conditions of sale

See www.strongtie.com for important updates to the 2011 Wood Construction Connectors catalog.
Since the 2011 Wood Construction Connectors catalog is effective for two years, we want to make sure that our customers are still up to date. Therefore, a list of corrections is now available at www.strongtie.com/corrections. This list will be continually updated if new questions and issues arise.

VALUE-ADDED SOFTWARE
Simpson Strong-Tie offers software solutions to make product selection and specification easier. Visit www.strongtie.com to download your free versions.

F-C2011ADD 2011 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE COMPANY INC.

Connector Selector
Finding the right connector just got easier. Input the details of your application and the Simpson Strong-Tie Connector Selector software suggests appropriate connectors and lists them by their installed cost. The program offers solutions for solid-sawn lumber, I-joists, engineered wood and trusses, and can also take into consideration factors such as wood species and masonry type. Save, print or email your solutions as well as autogenerated job files and material lists.

Strong-Wall Shearwall Selector

Looking for a faster way to identify shearwalls for your designs? The Strong-Wall Shearwall Selector software suggests suitable wood or Steel Strong-Wall solutions based upon the parameters you input for your project. The program features two design modes, engineered-design and prescriptive wall bracing, to suggest appropriate solutions based on framing and foundation preferences. Solutions for one- and two-story applications as well as for balloonframed walls are available. Output can be saved, printed or attached to email for maximum versatility.

Strong Frame Selector

The Strong Frame ordinary moment frame takes a lot of the work out of specifying moment frames, and the Strong Frame Selector software will make it even easier. The user inputs information such as size of the opening, lateral/gravity loads and drift requirements and the software suggests the appropriate solution from 368 available stock frames. Custom solutions can also be suggested if we dont offer a stock frame to match the application. Save, print or email solutions depending on your needs.

DISCONTINUED PRODUCTS
Products that will be discontinued in 2012
Simpson Strong-Tie is dedicated to continuously expanding our line of structural connectors with innovative new products that address the changing needs of our customers. As new connectors are introduced that improve upon older designs, it becomes necessary to discontinue the old versions in the name of efficiency and product-line simplicity. The table below lists products that are no longer included in the Wood Construction Connectors catalog as well as the products recommended to replace them. While technical information for discontinued products will be maintained on our website for a number of months, Simpson Strong-Tie asks that our customers begin to substitute the replacement products shown below in their designs and inventories. While it is hard to say when they will no longer be available from our distribution partners, production of some of these connectors ended in late 2011 and others will be phased out of production in 2012. For the most current information on discontinued products visit www.strongtie.com/discontinued. If you have questions about any of the products shown below, please call (800)999-5099 for assistance.

AbW Post Base

The ABW is an adjustable retrofit post base that provides a clean look, a 1" standoff and increased capacity to resist uplift loads. FEaTurES: The slot in the ABW allows flexible positioning around the anchor bolt, making precise post placement easier The 1" standoff helps prevent rot at the end of the post and meets code requirements for structural posts that are installed in basements or exposed to weather or water splash Installs with nails or Strong-Drive SD structural-connector screws maTErIal: See table FINISH: ZMAX coating INSTallaTIoN: See the General Notes in our 2011 Wood Construction Connectors catalog (C-2011). Use all specified fasteners. See our Anchoring and Fastening Systems for Concrete and Masonry catalog (C-SAS) or visit www.strongtie.com for retrofit anchor options. To install: Place the base, load transfer plate and nut on the anchor bolt. Loosely tighten the nut. Place the standoff and then the post in the ABW and fasten on three vertical sides (see table for fastener information). Make any necessary adjustments to post placement and tighten the nut securely on the anchor bolt. Bend up the fourth side of the ABW and fasten using the correct fasteners (see table below).
These products are available with additional corrosion protection. Additional products on this page may also be available with this option, check with Simpson Strong-Tie for details.

LRU

Rafter Hanger

Available April 2012

The LRU hanger is an economical field slopeable hanger designed to make the rafter-to-ridge connection with solid-sawn rafters 2x6 - 2x12 in size. FEaTurES: Unique design allows the LRU to be installed either before or after the rafter is in place Slopes up or down to 45 For added versatility the fasteners on the face of the hanger are placed higher on the flange allowing the bottom of the rafter to hang below the ridge beam (see Max. C1 dimension) Double-shear nailing provides higher loads with fewer fasteners Installs with nails or Strong-Drive SD structural-connector screws maTErIal: 18 gauge FINISH: Galvanized (G90) INSTallaTIoN: See the General Notes in our 2011 Wood Construction Connectors catalog (C-2011). Joist fasteners must be installed at an angle through the rafter or joist into the header to achieve the table loads. See alternate installation on the right for retrofit applications.

1. Allowable loads have been increased for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern. 2. A minimum 2-ply carrying member is required for the tabulated loads. With single 2x carrying members, use 14"x1 12" Strong-Drive SDS screws into the carrying member and reduce the load to 0.60 of the table value. 3. For installations on 2x6 carrying members not at a panel point, the four uppermost face fasteners are not installed. For installations on 2x6 carrying members at a panel point, fasteners are installed into the round holes only (minimum vertical member sizes are 2x6 and 2x8 for the MTHMQ and MTHMQ-2, respectively). 4. Tabulated two-member allowable loads assume that 75% of the total load is distributed to the hip and 25% to the jack. It is permitted to distribute 65% to 85% of the tabulated total load to the hip, and the remaining percentage of total load to the jack. The combined hip and jack load may not exceed the published Total Load.

5. For terminal hips divide the total allowable load by 2 to determine the allowable load for each hip. 6. Tabulated three-member loads assume that each hip carries 40% of the total load and the jack carries 20% of the total load. Other hip/jack load distributions are allowed if the sum of all three carried members does not exceed the total load and the hip members are equally loaded. 7. The total allowable download for the MTHMQ-2-SDS3 (Min) for a 3-member connection at the 115/125/160 load duration is 5400 lbs. (DF/SP) and 3890 lbs. (SPF/HF). 8. Truss chord cross-grain tension may limit allowable loads as determined by the Designer in accordance with ANSI/TPI 1-2007. 9. Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive screws are permitted to be installed through metal truss plates as approved by the Truss Designer, provided the requirements of ANSI/TPI 1-2007 Section 7.5.3.4 and 8.9.2 are met (pre-drilling required through the plate using a maximum of 532" bit).

MSTD Marriage Strap

The MSTD marriage strap provides an overlapping, in-line splice between an HTT tension tie and a CMSTC16 coiled strap for panelizedroof applications where the roof member adjacent to the wall is too short to develop the required load into the roof diaphragm. The MSTD provides continuity of load without the need to splice the CMSTC16 alongside the HTT which requires additional blocking. FEaTurES: A versatile solution that can be modified to suit project needs; CMSTC coiled strap can be cut to length as needed Use MSTD4 with HTT4 and MSTD5 with HTT5 maTErIal: 16 gauge FINISH: Galvanized (G90) INSTallaTIoN: See the General Notes in our 2011 Wood Construction Connectors catalog (C-2011). The CMSTC and HTT must be spliced end-to-end without any gap. Suitable for use with both 10d and 16d sinker nailing options for the HTT and CMSTC as specified per the Designer (see our Wood Construction Connectors catalog for details). To install: Position HTT over the framing (do not install fasteners yet). Align CMSTC16 with the end of the HTT. Position MSTD over the two connectors so that nail holes align correctly. Install specified fasteners, filling all nail holes.

H7Z and H11Z feature a ZMAX coating; other models available in ZMAX or stainless steel. See corrosion information at www.strongtie.com. INSTallaTIoN: See the General Notes in our 2011 Wood Construction Connectors catalog (C-2011). Use all specified fasteners. H1 can be installed with flanges facing inward (reverse of H1 installation drawing; number 1). H2.5, H2.5T, H4, H5 and H6 ties are shipped in equal quantities of right and left versions (right versions shown). Hurricane ties do not replace solid blocking. When installing ties on plated trusses (on the side opposite the truss plate) do not fasten through the truss plate from behind. This can force the truss plate off of the truss and compromise truss performance. CoDES: See page 20 of our 2011 Wood Construction Connectors catalog (C-2011).

1. Loads have been increased for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed: reduce where other loads govern. 2. Allowable loads are for one anchor. A minimum rafter thickness of 2 12" must be used when framing anchors are used on each side of the joist and on the same side of the plate (exeption: connectors installed such that nails on opposite side dont interfere). 3. Allowable DF/SP uplift load for stud to bottom plate installation (see detail 15) is 390 lbs. (H2.5A); 265 lbs. (H2.5ASS); 360 lbs. (H4) and 310 lbs. (H8). For SPF/HF values multiply these values by 0.86. 4. Allowable loads in the F1 direction are not intended to replace diaphragm boundry members or cross grain bending of the truss or rafter members. 5. When cross-grain bending or cross-grain tension cannot be avoided in the members, mechanical reinforcement to resist such forces may be considered. 6. Hurricane Ties are shown on the outside of the wall for clarity and assume a minimum overhang of 3 12". Installation on the inside of the wall is acceptable (see General Instructions for the Installer notes u on page 22

in the 2011 Wood Construction Connectors catalog C2011). For uplift Continuous Load Path, connections in the same area (i.e. truss to plate connector and plate to stud connector) must be on the same side of the wall. 7. Southern Pine allowable uplift loads for H10A = 1340 lbs. and for the H14 = 1465 lbs. 8. Refer to Simpson Strong-Tie technical bulletin T-HTIEBEARING for H1, H10, H10S, H10-2, H11Z, H14 allowable bearing enhancement loads. 9. H10S can have the stud offset a maximum of 1" from rafter (center to center) for a reduced uplift of 890 lbs. (DF/SP) and 765 lbs. (SPF). 10. H10S nails to plates are optional for uplift but required for lateral loads. 11. Some load values for the stainless-steel connectors shown here are lower than those for the carbon-steel versions. Ongoing test programs have shown this to also be the case with other stainless-steel connectors in the product line that are installed with nails. Visit www.strongtie.com/corrosion for updated information. 12. NaIlS: 16dx2 12 = 0.162" dia. x 2 12" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 12 = 0.148" dia. x 1 12" long, 8d = 0.131" dia. x 2 12" long, 8dx1 12 = 0.131" dia. x 1 12" long. 13.

SDWF

Structural Wood Screw for Floor-to-Floor Connections

Available April 2012

The Simpson Strong-Tie SDWF structural wood screw is designed to simplify the floor-to-floor connection while providing superior performance over the life of the structure. The unique design of the SDWF allows it to attach the top and bottom walls together from the top, spanning the floor system and providing an easy-to-install connection within the continuous load path of the structure. A key to the long-term performance of the SDWF lies in the innovative TUW take-up washer that is installed between the screw and the bottom plate of the top floor. As the structure settles due to shrinkage and construction loading, the threaded portion under the head of the screw ratchets up through the tabs of the TUW (which is secured in place). The interlock between the tabs of the take-up washer and the threads under the head of the SDWF prevent the screw from sliding back under load, providing a simple yet reliable means of shrinkage compensation up to 34" per story. FEaTurES: Faster to install than other methods drive the screw and the connection is made Shrinkage compensation ensures a tight connection even after initial shrinkage and settlement occur Fastening can be done before or after exterior sheathing is applied for added flexibility Installs from inside the structure, eliminating exterior work on the upper stories and enhancing job safety 1 The TUW take-up washer installs with (4) #9x2 2" Strong-Drive SD structural-connector screws (provided) maTErIal: Carbon steel FINISH: SDWFE-Coat ; TUWGalvanized INSTallaTIoN: See the General Notes in our 2011 Fastening Systems (C-FS11) and Wood Construction Connectors catalogs (C-2011). To choose the appropriate SDWF length, add 6" to the joist size. SDWF installs best with low-speed, high torque (200 in-lbs minimum) drill with a 516" hex-head driver. See details for minimum edge/end fastener distances. To install: Drive the SDWF into the upper-wall bottom plate vertically (90 2), until the head is a minimum of 2" above the plate. Slide the TUW over the SDWF head and center. Continue driving the SDWF until the washer head contacts the TUW tabs and bends them until they engage the shank of the SDWF directly under the head. Secure the TUW to the upper-wall bottom plate with #9x2 12" SD screws (provided).

RTUD Ratcheting Take-Up Device

The new RTUD ratcheting take-up device is a cost effective shrinkage-compensation solution for continuous rod systems. The unique design of the RTUD provides reliable performance in a device that allows for unlimited shrinkage. Once the RTUD is installed, a series of internal wedges allow the device to ratchet down the rod as the wood structure shrinks, but engage the rod in the reverse direction when under tensile loading. A firm grip is maintained on the rod at all times by the take-up device, allowing the rod system to perform as designed from the time of installation. FEaTurES: Maintains rod-system tightness, allowing it to perform as designed Pass-through design provides unlimited shrinkage compensation Available for 12" diameter threaded rod Fastens easily to the wood plate with the BPRTUD3-4 bearing plate and (2) 8dx1 12" nails (minimum) or (2) #9x1 12" Strong-Drive SD screws INSTallaTIoN: See the General Notes in our 2011 Wood Construction Connectors catalog (C-2011). The RTUD4 must be installed with the BPRTUD3-4 bearing plate (sold separately) to function properly.

Why use a take-up device?

In order for rod systems to perform properly, it is important that they effectively compensate for shrinkage within the wood structure. Without take-up devices gaps can occur between wood members and key elements of the rod system such as nuts and bearing plates (see photo). This can result in excessive movement during a seismic or wind event.

STRONG FRAME Moment Frame

With the new SimpsonStrong-Tie Strong Frame two-story ordinary moment frame, Designers can reach new heights and widths in creativity. Accommodating openings up to 18' tall per story and 24' wide, the new two-story ordinary moment frame is the ideal solution for projects featuring tall ceilings, expansive windows and other customized designs with space constraints or load requirements that exceed other lateral-force-resisting options for traditional light-frame construction. Unlike field-built ordinary moment frames which are time-intensive to design and labor-intensive to install the new Strong Frame two-story moment frame is manufactured with the same value-engineering as our single-story Strong Frame moment frame, making it a cost-effective alternative to traditional frames. And our quick turnaround time in delivering your customized frame means no interruptions in the project construction schedule.

Features
Larger spaces accommodated: Columns and beams accommodate designs with clear opening widths to 24', and clear opening heights to 18' per story. 100% bolted connections: Because no field welding is required, frames install faster. No need to have a welder, or welding inspector, on site. A standard socket or spud wrench is all that is typically needed to make the connection. However, a heavy-duty socket wrench power tool may be necessary if fully tensioned bolts are required. Pre-installed wood nailers: Eliminate the need to drill and bolt nailers in the field. Pre-drilled holes for utilities: 1116" diameter holes in the flanges and 3" holes in the column webs allow easy installation of electrical wiring and plumbing. Greater quality control: Frames are manufactured in a production environment with comprehensive quality-control measures. Field-bolted connections eliminate questions about the quality of field welds. Direct-tension-indicator washers included. Convenient to store, ship and handle: Disassembled frames are more compact, allowing for easier shipping and fewer deliveries. Expanded one-story options up to 24' wide. 2-Story member Depth and Connections (Beams)

Connectors for Cold-Formed Steel Curtain-Wall Construction

Complete, Tested Solutions from a Name You Trust
Through extensive research and development Simpson Strong-Tie has developed a new line of slide-clip and fixed-clip connectors for cold-formed steel curtain-wall construction that offers a total design solution. Unlike many other manufacturers in the industry, Simpson Strong-Tie provides the load values for the connector and its anchorage to the structure, thus minimizing calculations for the Designer. These new steel-stud framing connectors can also accommodate stand-offs up to 1114" in a variety of conditions, offering Designers an engineered choice for curtain-wall projects.

Our new slide-clip connectors enable the structural building frame to deflect independently of the steel stud curtain-wall system.
