Code
Ref.
1. Allowable loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase
allowed; reduce where other loads govern. A 2 ply minimum truss is required. When using 10-10d nails
only for carried member, uplift is 1960 lbs for Doug-Fir/So. Pine and 1625 lbs for Spruce-Pine-Fir.
2. SDS X3 must have a minimum 2 ply member.
3. Bolts must be installed symmetrically when using less than 8 bolts on the 8-bolt backplate.
4. Loads for THGW models are based on end grain bearing.
5. Minimum fasteners 10-10d will achieve the down loads and the
corresponding uplift (see footnote 1). To achieve maximum uplift,
install nails and bolts listed in the table.
6. Wind (133) is a download rating.
7. NAILS: 10d 0.148" dia. x 3" long.
See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information.
