1. 16d sinkers may be used to replace 16d commons at 0.85 of table load.
2. Uplift has been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading
with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern.
3. Wind (133) is a download rating.
4. 160% uplift load for THA422-2 and THAC422-2 is 2060 lbs.

5. For single 4x2 top chord carrying members, THA 4x hangers can be used with 10dx1 nails
and a reduced load to 0.83 of the table value. Loads are based on hanger installations at
panel points.
6. NAILS: 16d 0.162" dia. x 3 long, 10d 0.148" dia. x 3" long,
10dx1 0.148" dia. x 1 long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information.
THA
The THA series extra long straps allow full nailing and can be field-formed to
give top flange hanger convenience.
MATERIAL: See table.
FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in Z-MAX;
see Corrosion-Resistance, page 6-7.
INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
Two different installation methods may be used:
Maximum nailing-Install all face nails according to the table. Nails used
for the joist attachment must be driven at an angle so that they penetrate
through the corner of the joist into the header. With single 2x carrying
members, use 10dx1 nails into the carrying member, and 10d or 16d
commons into the carried member, and use 0.81 of the table value for
18 gauge, and 0.68 of the table value for 16 gauge.
Minimum nailing-For the THA29, the minimum nailing schedule requires
the use of joist double shear nailing as detailed above, and that the strap be
field-formed over the header a minimum of 2 ". A minimum of four top and
four face nails must be used. For all models except the THA29, the minimum
nailing schedule may be followed where double shear nailing is not possible,
provided the strap is field-formed over the top of the header a minimum of
1 for the THA213 and THA413, and 2" for all others, and a minimum of
four top and two face nails are used.
OPTIONS: THA hangers available with the header flanges turned in for 3
(except THA413) and larger, with no load reduction order THAC hanger.
CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.
