Installation

Use all specified fasteners. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table.
See product-specific installation drawings.
No joist nailing required for standard I-joist installation without web stiffeners. When hanger is used to support I-joists with web stiffeners or rectangular SCL member (2) 0.148" x 1 1/2" nails must be installed into optional triangle joist nail holes for standard installation values.
Optional triangle nail holes may be used for additional load. See allowable load tables.
For sloped joists up to 1/4:12, there’s no reduction; from 1/4:12 up 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.

Allowable Loads

Locations are provided for optional nails if additional uplift is needed. Optional uplift nailing requires the addition of properly-secured web stiffeners. See the load tables for minimum required fasteners and allowable uplift loads.
For attaching to multi-ply headers, refer to technical bulletin Top-Flange Hanger Reductions for Multiple-Ply Headers (T-C-MPLYHEADR).
