A: Hello KenAnd, LUS Light-Capacity U-Shaped Hanger with Double-Shear Nailing can be used with LVL headers and do use the full .148" x 3" long nails for the full loading. Shorter nails can be used with reductions if your header is not thick enough for the 3" nails. Please contact the Simpson Strong-Tie Customer Service team for more support at 800-999-5099. We look forward to hearing from you. -Stacy
A: Picture, this McKenzie from Simpson Strongtie. We would like to address your question about the joist hangers. To better assist you please reach out to our Customer Service Team at 800-999-5099. Thanks.
A: Hello JoeD, this is Ricardo with Simpson. Because our products are tested and contain published load values, it would not be possible to give accurate value with mixed fasteners. Nails and screws have different withdrawal and shear capacities and they bend differently when a load is applied to them. For this reason we do not recommend it. If you have any questions, please contact us at (800)999-5099.
A: Hello, this is Stacy with Simpson Strong-Tie. We want to make sure your question is answered however we cannot tell you how many hangers you need for your deck. We do offer a free software on our website called Deck Planner Software. You may design your deck on this software to the parameters needed and then print out the materials list needed for the deck that was designed. If you wish to discuss this further please call us at (800) 999-5099. We look forward to speaking with you.
