U.S. Patent
6,260,402
The HF24N, HF26N, HF34N and HF36N hangers are
designed for panels or components using jigs or similar
devices for precision fabrication. Grip-groove feature
provides positive lock into the 2x or 3x member without
nailing. F series panel hangers are engineered components
for panelized construction only.
MATERIAL: 18 gauge
FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in Z-MAX;
see Corrosion-Resistance, page 6-7.
INSTALLATION:
Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
In panelized construction, it is acceptable to nail
through the sheathing into the hangers top flange
using on 10dx2 nail placed in the middle third
of the top flange, no closer than from the back
edge of the hanger.
On the F-series hanger, the seat nail is non-structural
and does not contribute to the load.
CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.
Available with additional corrosion protection. Check with factory.
1.NAILS: 10d 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx2 0.148" dia. x 2 long.
See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information.

MSC1.81 with Valley
skewed 45 , and sloped 0
MSC4 with Valley
sloped and skewed 45
INSTALLATION: Distribute the total load evenly about the centerline to avoid eccentric loading.
Fasten all built-up members together as one unit.
Net height will be calculated based on specified valley member depth
and slope by the factory unless noted otherwise.
SLOPED AND/OR SKEWED VALLEYS
The valley stirrups can be sloped to 45 and skewed from 25 to 45 .
(MSC5 skewed 20 -45 .)
The total design load of the hanger is split between the ridge (20%) and each valley (40%).
For two valley connections with no ridge member, divide the total load by two for
each valley load.
CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.
1.Valley loads are for each valley.
2.Other valley-ridge load distributions are allowed
provided the sum of all three carried members is
distributed symmetrically about the center of the
hanger and combined do not exceed the total load.
3.MSC4 is also available in 3 Glulam width.
4.MSC5 is also available in widths up to 5 ".
5.MSC4 is also available in widths down
to 1 ". Use 10dx1 nails and MSC2
allowable loads.
6.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.
