NAILS
Strong-Tie nails and structural fasteners have been developed as the
optimum fasteners for connector products. Special lengths afford economy
of purchase and installation, and depth compatibility with framing members.
Nail specifications include head size, thickness, steel and shank design,
and point configuration to ensure conformity to published values.
For pneumatic nail use, see Instructions to the Installer, page 14 and
visit www.strongtie.com for technical bulletins.

Load adjustment factors for optional nails used with
face mount hangers and straight straps
1.10dx1 or 16dx2 nails may not be substituted for joist nails in double shear
hangers (i.e. LUS, MUS, HUS, HHUS, HGUS).
2.Do not substitute 10dx1 nails for face nails on slope and skew combinations or
skewed only LSU and LSSU.
3.This table does not apply to specials (see Hanger Options), or steel thicker than
10 gauge. Face mount hangers, joist and face nails (except as noted) and straight
straps may be installed with alternate nails. Use this table to determine the load
adjustment factor.
1.N16 fasteners may be ordered electro-galvanized;
specify EG; for example N16EG. This finish is not
acceptable for ZMAX or HDG applications.
2.HDG hot-dip galvanized; SS stainless steel;
Bright no finish; GV Green vinyl.
3.Metric equivalents are listed Diameter x Length.
4. The 8d common, 12d common, 16d common (bright),
and 16d sinker nails are for reference only. Simpson
does not sell these nails. All other nails are available
through Simpson.
5.For pneumatic fastener info, request additional
technical information.
6.Recommended minimum end distance to prevent
splitting is 10 x the nail diameter per 97 NDS
Commentary Table C12.4.1.
7.Use HDG nails with ZMAX and HDG products.
8.16d sinker with GV finish is not acceptable for ZMAX
or HDG applications.
