169 Straps Ties LTP4/LTP5/A34/A35 Framing Angles Plates 1. Allowable loads are for one anchor. When anchors are installed on each side of the joist, the minimum joist thickness is 3". 2. Roof loads are 125% of floor loads unless limited by other criteria. 3. Some illustrations show connections that could cause cross-grain tension or bending of the wood during loading if not reinforced sufficiently. In this case, mechanical reinforcement should be considered. 4. G and H direction only: LTP4 can be installed over plywood with 8dx1 nails and achieve .72 of the listed load, or over and achieve .64 of the listed load. 8d commons will achieve 100% load. 5. The LTP5 may be installed over sheathing up to thick with no reduction in load when 8d common (0.131" dia. x 2 nails are used. 6. NAILS: 8dx1 0.131" dia. x 1 long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information. The larger LTP5 spans subfloor at the top of the blocking or rim joist. The embossments enhance performance and the min/max nailing option allows for design flexibility. The LTP4 Lateral Tie Plate transfers shear forces for top plate-to-rim joist or blocking connections. Nail holes are spaced to prevent wood splitting for single and double top plate applications. May be installed over plywood sheathing. The A35 anchors exclusive bending slot allows instant, accurate field bends for all two- and three-way ties. Balanced, completely reversible design permits the A35 to secure a great variety of connections. MATERIAL: LTP4/LTP5-20 gauge; all others-18 gauge FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in stainless steel or Z-MAX; see Corrosion-Resistance, page 6-7. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. A34-Use 8-8dx1 nails. A35-Use 12-8dx1 nails. A35-Use 9-8dx1 nails for connection types A1, E, C1. A35-Bend one time only. LTP4-Use 12-8dx1 nails. LTP5-Use 12-8dx1 nails; G Max use 14-8dx1 nails. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.
