HCAs offer single-piece side plates, for fewer welds and higher horizontal loads. The Horizontal Load Table gives comparable HC models. MATERIAL: Side plates-7 gauge; Top and bottom plates-see PT dimensions in table. FINISH: Simpson gray paint INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Bolt holes shall be a minimum of and a maximum of larger than the bolt diameter (per 2001 NDS). The model number column in the Allowable Download Table gives the basic HCA model with two rotation bolts. Contact Simpson for heights greater than 60". Position dia. machine bolts in slots away from bearing seat to allow for wood shrinkage. OPTIONS: The Horizontal Load Table gives other bolt options. To order, add the width and bearing plate size designation after the model name. Specify the H dimension. For dapped beams, reduce the H dimension by the PT dimension for each dap. ORDERING: Specify Model No., Model Size, and height H. Ordering Example: HC4C3TA5-6 H-18². CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart. See F-HCAGUIDE for specification examples and additional information.

Loads include a 33% and 60% increase for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed. 2. Horizontal loads are for Doug Fir-larch glulams minimum W 3 ". For other wood types, adjust the load according to the code. 1. For H dimension between H1 and Minimum H, decrease allowable loads in direct proportion to depth. 2. Loads include a 25% increase for roof live loads; reduce for other load durations according to the code. 3. Loads are for 560 psi wood bearing. 4. See Horizontal Load Table for models with three rotation bolts. 5.Other widths are available for structural composite lumber. Contact factory.
