Q:If I use the recommended 3-1/2 inch nails in the header, roughly 2 inches will stick out the other side of the truss in my post frame building. Can I use 1-1/2 screws or nails instead? I am installing a ceiling with 2x4 every 24inches and 5/8 OSB.

A:  Hi Cole, this is Colin from Simpson Strong-Tie. Yes, the LU24 may be installed with our Strong Drive Connector Screw (SD) #9 x 1 1/2". Item # is SD9112. Same fastener for both the face fasteners and the joist fasteners. You will meet or exceed the connector capacity installed with nails.

    Q:I have 2x6 joist on my porch/deck and want to add joist hangers on them. When the contractor built it many many years ago they didn?t use joist hangers and since then a few nails have rotted away. So are the 2X6 joist hangers the correct ones to use.

Where the nail is installed through two points on each joist nail for greater strength. If you have any questions please call us at (800) 999-5099. We look forward to speaking with you.

          Use as a stand alone support or in addition to butt nailing floor joisting for a solid connection. For best results, use #9 x 1-1/4" joist hanger nails. My floor structure is solid & hopefully not squeaking.

          Did exactly what I needed them for. Built a Toja Grid pergola and wanted to install beams. Toja's beam brackets are $40 for two pairs. For 10 beams, that would be $200. Ridiculous. So I spray painted these bad boys black. Total cost was around $10 and look they look great.
