1. Roof loads are 125% of floor loads unless limited by other criteria. Floor loads may be adjusted
for other load durations according to the code, provided they do not exceed roof loads.

STEP 2
Bend HSS (HSS2-3 shown)
flanges one time only.
Screw into position.
STEP 1
Install HSS (HSS2-3
shown) over stud with
flanges bent at a 90 angle.
Stud Shoes reinforce studs notched in construction. They are NOT a total
replacement of removed material. Installs over pipe up to 2 outside diameter.
HSS2-3 is designed for triple 2x studs.
HSS Stud Shoes provide tension load capacity as well as increased
compression loads. Flared flange provides greater strength.
MATERIAL: 16 gauge. FINISH: Galvanized.
INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
HSS: Bend flanges at 90 angle during installation,
then bend back and screw into position (screws supplied).
Bend flanges one cycle only.
CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.
HSS2-SDS1.5 (16 gauge) Heavy stud shoes to reinforce and protect single
2x studs where pipe is located. Uses 12 SDS x1 screws (included).

1. Loads include a 33% or 60% load duration increase on the fasteners for earthquake or wind loading, but
DO NOT include a 33% stress increase on the steel capacity. Refer to page 13 for further explanation.
2. To meet the prescriptive IRC requirement 16d box nails (0.135" dia x 3 may be used at 0.75 of the table load.
3. NAILS: 16d 0.162" dia. x 3 long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information.
