LGT3-SDS2.5 is a heavy girder truss tiedown for 3-ply Girder Trusses. Featuring SDS screws into the truss for higher load capacity. The LGT2 and MGT provide lighter load alternatives for girder tiedowns. The HGT-4 is sized for 4-2x widths. This series provides high uplift resistance for wood frame and concrete block construction. The HGT can be installed on trusses and beams with top chord slopes from 3:12 to 8:12. Available in 2-ply, 3-ply and 4-ply widths. MATERIAL: LGT2 14 ga; LGT3, MGT 12 ga; HGT 7 ga. FINISH: HGT Simpson gray paint; LGT, MGT galvanized INSTALLATION: When the HGT-3 is used with a 2-ply girder or beam, shimming is required. Fasten to act as one unit. Attach to grouted concrete block with a minimum one #5 rebar horizontal in the top lintel block. Minimum f I c = 2500 psi maximum aggregate ". See page 167 for wood applications. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart. 1. Attached members must be designed to resist applied loads. 2. To achieve the loads listed, anchorage into a concrete block bond beam shall be designed by the Designer. 3. To achieve the loads listed for the MGT and HGT, anchorage into a 8" wide concrete tie-beam or grouted and reinforced CMU tie-beam can be made using Simpson SET epoxy with a diameter anchor and a minimum embedment depth of 12". Vertical reinforcement may be required to transfer the loads per Designer. 4. Allowable loads have been increased for earthquake or wind loading; no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern. 5. LGT2: F1 load 700, F2 load 170. 6. LGT3-SDS2.5: F1 load 795, F2 load 410 (DF/SP). 7. See page 147 for Titen screw information. 8. The MGT can be installed with straps vertical for full table load provided all specified nails are installed to either a solid header or minimum double 2x6 web. 9. Table allowable loads were determined using test ultimate/3 or nail calculation values. 10. NAILS: 16d Sinker 0.148" dia. x 3 long, 10d 0.148" dia. x 3" long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information. HGT-2 (HGT-3 and HGT-4 similar) MGT LGT3-SDS2.5 153 Masonry Connectors LGT3-SDS2.5/LGT2/MGT/HGT Heavy Girder Tiedowns
