190 Hanger Options HANGER OPTIONS See Hanger Options General Notes. INSTALLATION: Some models are available in Type A (Bevel Cut) and Type B (Butt Cut) styles; all models are available in Type B style. Check factory when ordering. Bevel-cut the joist for skewed Type A hangers (see illustration). Butt-cut the joist for Type B hangers. Hangers with a skew greater than 15 may have all the joist nails on the outside angle. Skewed HWs have face nails and require a minimum header depth of 3 ". HANGER HEIGHT For hanger heights exceeding the joist height by more than ", the allowable load is 0.50 of the table load. SLOPED AND/OR SKEWED SEAT Non-skewed hangers can carry the design load when the seat slope is within :12 of the joist slope. Designer must check that wood bearing is not limiting. W/WNP/WP/HW series may be skewed to a maximum of 84 and/or sloped to a maximum of 45 . For slope only, skew only, or slope and skew combinations, the allowable load is 100% of the table load. UPLIFT LOADS (limited options are available for uplift hangerscheck the Hanger Options Matrix) Hangers can be sloped to 45 and/or skewed 45 at 100% of the uplift load. Skew option is only on hangers with W 3 or less. For skews greater than 45 there is no uplift load. Specify the slope up or down in degrees from the horizontal plane and/or the skew right or left in degrees from the perpendicular vertical plane. Specify whether low side, high side or center of joist will be flush with the top of the header (see illustration). Uplift loads are not available for open/closed TF, TF sloped, and offset options. SLOPED TOP FLANGE A top flange may be ordered sloped down left or down right to 35 with or without a sloped and/or skewed seat (see illustration). Reduce allowable table loads using straight-line interpolation (see open/closed top flange). OFFSET TOP FLANGE The top flange may be offset left or right for placement at the end of a header (see illustration). The allowable load is 0.50 of the table load. For skewed and offset top flange hangers, the maximum allowable load is 0.50 of the table load or 2000 lbs., whichever is lower. OPEN/CLOSED TOP FLANGE The top flange may be opened more or closed less than the standard 90 (see illustration) to a maximum of 30 , except the HW which cannot be closed. Reduce allowable loads using straight-line interpolation. Example: For a top flange open 30 , reduce load to [(90-30)/90] x table load. SADDLE HANGER To order, add D to model and specify S dimension (see illustration). RIDGE HANGER (not available for uplift models) Top flange may be sloped to a maximum of 35 to accommodate a ridge (see illustration). Specify angle of the slope. Reduce allowable load using straight-line interpolation. See Open/Closed example.
