Wood Screw Applications – WS series continued<br />
Fasteners<br />
Joining 2, 3, or 4 Ply LVL or PSL Members<br />
Installation Notes:<br />
• For 2 ply members, wood screws shall be installed with<br />
the screw heads in the loaded ply.<br />
• For 3 or 4 ply members, wood screws shall be installed in<br />
both outer plies.<br />
• Designer shall specify all wood screws locations.<br />
• Increase edge and end distances if wood splitting occurs.<br />
• Stagger all screws installed into the opposite face.<br />
• A minimum of 2 rows of screws shall be used for all<br />
members with H = 5 1/2˝ and larger.<br />
