A: Hi Chrisd,
This is McKenzie from Simpson Strongtie. We don't have any testing that supports the DJT in a splice application.
Thank you, have a great day.

A: Hello Bird, this is McKenzie with Simpson Strong-Tie. Your connector selection depends on orientation and load resistance requirements. If the rim joist is attached to the side of the post, a DJT could be an option. If the rim joist is sitting on top of the post, we do not have a specific post cap for a single 2x member. In this case if the beam is flush to the outside of the post an 'L' bracket or LCE/AC/LPC could be options.

This was used to secure fall boards in a garage loft area in a way that they could be removed if necessary. Worked beautifully for this repurposed use.
