Pine Allowable Loads Spruce-Pine-Fir Allowable Loads Model No. Total Avg Ult Fasteners 47, 134 The LTHJA26 is the lighter capacity version of the THJA26. The LTHJA26 is designed for the common 8 foot hip girder setback. Consult with truss engineer or refer to Truss Engineering for actual demand load information. MATERIAL: 18 gauge. FINISH: Galvanized. See Corrosion-Resistance, page 6-7. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. All multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit. Should be attached to a double girder truss to allow for required minimum nail penetration. With single 2x carrying members, use 10dx1 nails and use 0.67 of the table value. For hip and jack combinations, distribute 65% to 85% of the total load to the hip member. 10dx1 nails must be installed into bottom of hip members through bottom of hanger seat for table loads. OPTIONS: These hangers can not be modified. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart. 1. Uplift loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern. 2. One 10dx1 nail must be installed into bottom of each hip member through bottom of hanger seat. 3. For a 2-2x4 bottom chord, multiply the down load by 0.50.
