Sustainable, Durable, Beautiful

About Glulam
With the Construction Industry becoming ever more conscious of environmental issues, companies are taking a fresh look at building structures and carbon emissions. As a more sustainable material than steel, Glulam contributes to this goal. Glulam timbers are being used where steel beams and columns would have been employed in buildings such as schools, supermarkets and large commercial buildings. Simpson Strong-Tie have designed a range of connectors to help build Glulam structures safely and economically, by standardising the products and obtaining CE approval where possible. The following pages give technical information on the connectors, including sizes and load capacities, making life easier for designers and specifiers alike.

Cross Laminated Timber Connections Shear Rings Ring

Aluminium Alloy Shear Ring
Type A1 Shear Rings are designed to provide enhanced performance in timber and to improve the load recovery of the bolt.
Shear Ring Installation The assembly of the rings needs a specific arbor/drill to make a circular imprint of the ring. The connection is complete once all fasteners are tightened accordingly. Each bolt requires 2 washers, one on either side of the timbers, please see the minimum dimensions in the table below.

BTALU Concealed Beam Hanger
The BTALU concealed hanger is one solution to connecting timber members together without seeing the connector.
It is designed to be fixed to the header timber and then fully inserted into a slot in the in-coming beam, and held in place with dowels. Holes are drilled through the timber and fin of the BTALU, allowing accurate alignment. This method provides an aesthectically pleasing connection for feature beams. Material: 6mm Aluminium Order nails separately.

TU Concealed Beam Hanger
This 3.5mm thick galvanised steel, load rated hanger provides an aesthetically attractive connection for exposed beams. Mild steel dowels and screws are included.
Material: 3.5mm Pre-Galvanised Mild Steel. Dowels: Mild Steel Electroplated Zinc coating.
INSTALLATION: Dowels aligned across the grain may cause splitting if the wood shrinks excessively. Use only in glulam, composite timber or well dried timber. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table. Attach to the supporting beam with 5.0 x 40mm screws (supplied). Specify dowel length and TU size to fit the application. Preparation of carried beam is best done off-site with cutting and boring tools. Holes in beam should be same diameter as dowel to ensure tight fit. Centre the TU within height of carried beam. Centre dowels within the width of the carried member For a sloped installation the TU hanger remains as standard and the timber is cut and angled to suit the slope. Recommended for internal dry environments (service class 1 & 2)

OPTIONS: Contact Simpson Strong-Tie for details of special installation tools. The standard install will leave a 5mm gap between carried and supporting beams. Pocket installation gives a fully concealed connection. See next page. Skewed installation up to 60. Sloped installation maximum 45. Options: Skewed TU available. To be factory ordered. Additional screws are available to order.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR A TU CONCEALED CONNECTOR: ATTACH CONNECTOR TO HEADER Position the connector at the pre determined height and screw the connector to the header or post. Fill all holes with screws supplied.

PREPARE THE BEAM Cut the beam to the length specified. Cut a slot into the end of the beam. Slot width for TU12 is 6mm and 9mm for all others. Cut the slot 3mm deeper than the TU and short of the beam height for concealed connector. This allows the connector to be hidden from below. Otherwise cut the slot 3mm deeper than the TU and through the entire beam height. Fully Concealed Only: Rout a pocket into the beam end. The pocket should be 6mm deep. Enough to hide the thickness of the TU and the screw heads. This eliminates the gap between the beam & header (see Pocket Installation Illustration).

DRILL BEAM DOWEL HOLES Position drill guide to provide the proper dowel end distance & height. Clamp in place (Drill guide available from Simpson Strong-Tie). Drill the dowel holes to the required diameter. Dowel hole diameter for the TU12 is 8mm and 12mm for all others.

INSTALL BEAMS Install top dowel into the carried beam first. Slip beam into place and install the remaining dowels working from the top downwards. Fully Concealed Only: To hide exposed dowel holes when the installation is complete, glue and plug the holes.

Face Fix Hangers Concealed Beam Hangers

SAE Heavy Duty Face Fix Hanger
The SAE is a heavy duty hanger designed for face fix applications which require additional strength.

Material: 2mm Pre-Galvanised Mild Steel.

SAE hangers have bolt holes for 12mm fasteners into the face. SAE Timber Bolted capacity to be determined according to the relevant standards. The hanger depth is to be at least 60% of the carried member depth to prevent rotation, unless additional lateral restraint is added to the top of the carried member.

INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table. SAE hangers should be installed by filling all round holes with the specified fasteners.

OPTIONS: Other widths of the SAE hangers are available to order. Slope and skew options available as a special SAE hanger without bolt holes. Skews right or left maximum 67.5 and slopes up or down maximum 45. Hangers with skews greater than 15 will have all joist nailing on the outside angle. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie technical department for information regarding sloped and skewed options.
