1. Uplift loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading; no further increase allowed.
Divide by 1.33 and 1.60 for normal loading, for example, in cantilever construction.
2. Titen x1 installed on top of wall after grout has cured.
3. Mid-Wall Installation requires minimum of one grouted course above and below the hanger.
4. Top of Wall Installation.
5. NAILS: 16d DPLX 0.162" dia. x 3 long, 10dx1 0.148" dia. x 1 long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information.

Installation
See pages 104-113 for sizes, fasteners and
load information.
WMs are designed for use on standard 8" grouted
masonry block wall construction.
MATERIAL: See tables on pages 104-113;
WM, WMI, WMU 12 ga. top flange and stirrup
FINISH: Simpson gray paint; hot-dipped galvanized
available: specify HDG.
ALLOWABLE LOADS: For hanger heights exceeding the joist
height, the allowable load is 0.50 of the table load.
INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. WM two 16d duplex nails must be installed into
the top flange and embedded into the grouted wall.
Verify that the grouted wall can take the required
fasteners specified in the table.
Embed WM into block with a minimum of one
course above and one course below the top flange
with one #5 vertical rebar minimum 24" long in
each cell. Minimum grout strength is 2000 psi.
When installed on top of masonry wall, use
2-Titen x1 masonry screws (see Titen screws
above) after predrilling into minimum 2000 psi grout.
OPTIONS: See Hanger Options, page 188 for hanger
modifications and associated load reductions.
WMU may not be modified.
CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.
WARNING: Industry studies show that hardened fasteners can experience
performance problems in wet or corrosive environments. Accordingly, use
this product in dry, interior, and noncorrosive environments only.
