This product is preferable to similar connectors because of a) easier installation, b) higher loads, c) lower installed cost, or a combination of these features. 126 Plated Truss Connectors LUS/MUS/HUS/HHUS/HGUS Double Shear Joist Hangers 1. Allowable loads shown consider ANSI/TPI 1-2002 member design criteria. 2. For allowable loads on 2x10 girder bottom chords, multiple ply hangers and on SPF/HF header wood species, see Technical Bulletin T-REDHEEL. 3. HGUS, HHUS and HGUQ hangers installed with the joist fastener quantities shown above are recommended for installation on minimum 2-ply 2x girder bottom chords. See T-REDHEEL for HHUS and HGUQ allowable loads. 4. Allowable loads are based on the lowest joist fastener holes filled. For the LUS, fill the two lowest joist fasteners holes on the right side of the hanger and the single lowest joist fastener hole on the left side of the hanger. 5. Wind (133) and (160) is a download rating. 6. NAILS: 16d 0.162" dia. x 3 long, 16dx2 0.162" dia. x 2 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. Model No. Min.

The MUS has increased load capacity and bearing compared to LUS connectors for medium load truss applications. All hangers in this series have double shear nailing. This patented innovation distributes the load through two points on each joist nail for greater strength. It also allows the use of fewer nails, faster installation, and the use of common nails for all connections. (Do not bend or remove tabs) MATERIAL: See tables on page 126 and 127. FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in stainless steel or Z-MAX; see Corrosion-Resistance, page 6-7. INSTALLATION Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Nails must be driven at an angle through the joist or truss into the header to achieve the table loads. Not designed for welded or nailer applications. 16d sinkers (0.148" dia. x 3 long) may be used where 10d commons are specified with no reduction in load. Where 16d commons are specified, 10d commons or 16d sinkers (0.148" dia. x 3 long) may be used at 0.85 of the table load. With 3x carrying members, use 16dx2 nails into the header and 16d commons into the joist with no load reduction. With single 2x carrying members, use 10dx1 nails into the header and 10d commons into the joist, and reduce the load to 0.64 of the table value. OPTIONS: LUS and MUS hangers cannot be modified. HUS hangers available with the header flanges turned in for 2-2x (3 and 4x only, with no load reduction. See HUSC Concealed Flange illustration. Concealed flanges are not available for HGUS and HHUS. See Hanger Options, page 188, for sloped and/or skewed HHUS models. Other sizes available; consult your Simpson representative. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.
