Simpson S/JCT Light Gauge Steel C-Joist Hanger - G90 Galvanized

The S/JCT and S/HJCT are unique, skewable steel-joist framing connectors that combine strength, versatility and low installed cost. The connectors can be used with CFS headers, wood headers, steel I-beams (with welds or PAF fasteners) and masonry walls. Installed cost is minimized since these products are shear rather than bearing connectors, eliminating the need for web stiffeners. The connectors also feature horizontal tabs that facilitate top flange alignment and joist support during screw installation. The S/HJCT-KT is G90 galvanized to help protect against corrosion and requires the use of galvanized fasteners which meet the specifications of ASTM A153.

• Use all specified fasteners.
• Attach hanger with specified fasteners. Use round holes for minimum load, use round and triangle holes for maximum load.
• May be used for weld-on applications. The minimum required weld to the top flange is 1/8" x 2 1/2" fillet weld to each side of top flange. Consult the code for special considerations when welding galvanized steel.
• May be installed using PDPAT-62KP (0.157" x 5/8") powder-actuated fasteners. SteeI headers with thicknesses between 1/4" and 3/4" having a minimum Fy = 36 ksi. A Red (level 5) or Purple (level 6) powder load may be required to achieve specified penetration (p).

NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values
