Wood Construction Connectors
IMPORTANT INFORMATION GENERAL NOTES
CODES
We have a feature in our catalog tables a Quick-Code Reference column.
This column allows users to quickly locate which products have code listings
and which code agency has issued the report. Weve added this feature to our
catalog to help our customers easily access the information they need regarding
our products. Over the years, the number of products we offer has greatly
increased, and the number of code reports we have has also increased. At the
same time, there have been many changes over the years in the code agencies
themselves. All of these factors have made it increasingly difficult for our
customers to determine which codes apply to various products.
The Quick-Code reference column, used in conjunction with the chart at right,
allows you to easily see which code listing applies to a product. The reference
numbers also clearly identify:
Products submitted for code listing (160)
Products with no code listing (170)
Products not submitted because they have no load rating
and a code listing is not necessary (180)
Products which meet prescriptive code requirements (190)
Where a model has been submitted for listing (160) or does not have a code
listing (170), Simpson can supply complete test data to support our published
loads. Please contact us for a copy of our product test documentation at
(800) 925-5099. Product acceptance can be obtained through the Alternate
Methods and Materials section of the applicable building code.
Some loads and applications may not be covered in the code report and
specific reductions and restrictions may be required by other code agencies.
Visit www.strongtie.com or visit the code agencies web sites for the
current evaluation reports.
Simpson Strong-Tie connectors are recognized by most code agencies.
Agencies that recognize some or all of our products include ICC-ES (formerly
ICBO, BOCA, SBCCI); the City of Los Angeles, California; State of Wisconsin;
and State of Florida. The allowable loads in this catalog comply with the 2001
National Design Specifications.
In October 2002, Members of BOCA, ICBO and SBCCI voted to consolidate
services, products and operations into one member service organization the
International Code Council (ICC). Existing code reports and new code reports
will be recognized under the new ICC organization. Please contact the ICC at
www.icc-es.org for more information.
In August 2004 the Department of State Architecture, California, issued a
revised IR 23-1. The Revised Interpretation of Regulation addresses and
clarifies issues relating to Pre-fabricated Wood Construction Connectors.
IR 23-1 defines the Purpose and Scope and clarifies Listing Requirements,
Acceptable Load Capacities, Design Requirements, Installation Requirements
and Connector Fabrication which addresses corrosion-resistant material
and/or coatings. Please contact the DSA at www.dsa.dgs.ca.gov/
