1. Z28 and Z38 do not have nail holes. Fastener quantities are as required.
2. Allowable loads have been increased 25% for roof loading (Z clips), 33% and
60% for earthquake or wind loading (A angles); no further increase allowed;
reduce where other loads govern.
3. Z4 and Z6 loads apply with a nail into the top and a nail into the seat.
4. NAILS: 16d 0.162" dia. x 3 long, 10dx1 0.148" dia. x 1 long.
See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information.

Typical Z2 Installation
The GA Gusset Angles embossed bend section
provides added strength.
L-Staggered nail pattern reduces the possibility
for splitting. LS-Field-adjustable 0 to 135 angles.
MATERIAL: L-16 gauge; GA and LS-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. LS-field skewable; bend one time only. Joist must be constrained against
rotation (for example, with solid
blocking) when using a single
LS per connection.
CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

1. Use a minimum lumber thickness of 1 ".
For 1 lumber, use 0.81 of table load, except
GA1 in F1 direction, use 185 lbs.
2. L angles-loads are for condition F1 or F2;
LS angles-loads are for condition F1 only.
3. GA1 and GA2 angles table loads are F1 loads
for F2 are 220 and 335 lbs (100) and 280 and
415 lbs (125), respectively.
4. Roof loads are 125% of floor loads unless limited
by other criteria.
5. NAILS: 16d 0.162" dia. x 3 long,
10d 0.148" dia. x 3" long,
10dx1 0.148" dia. x 1 long.
See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information.
