Catalog: Wood Construction Connectors (C-2009) - Rbb.lv

Wood Construction ConnectorsIMPORTANT INFORMATION & GENERAL NOTES12CODESCode Reference Column in Load TablesThe alpha-numeric “Code Reference numbers” that appear in the “Code Reference”column in load tables throughout this catalog are intended to identify products listedin evaluation agency reports, typically called “code reports”, and the specific reportsthat cover them. The letter designates which evaluation agency from which the reportwas obtained. The Code reference column, used in conjunction with the chart at right,indicates which code listing applies to a product. The reference numbers also clearlyidentify:• Products submitted for evaluation report listing (160)• Products with no evaluation report listing (170)• Products not submitted because they have no load rating andan evaluation report listing is not necessary (180)• Products that meet prescriptive or conventional constructioncode requirements (190)Where a model has been submitted for listing (160) or does not have an evaluationreport listing (170), Simpson Strong-Tie can supply complete test data to support ourpublished loads. Please contact us for a copy of our product test documentation at(800) 999-5099. Product acceptance may be obtained through the Alternate Methodsand Materials section of the applicable building code.Some loads and applications may not be covered in the code report and specificreductions and restrictions may be required by other product evaluation agencies.Visit www.strongtie.com or visit the product evaluation agencies’ web sites for thecurrent evaluation reports.Simpson Strong-Tie ® connectors are recognized by most product evaluation agencies.Agencies that recognize some or all of our products include ICC-ES (formerly ICBO,BOCA, SBCCI); IAPMO ES; the City of Los Angeles, California; and State of Florida.Multiple types of ICC-ES evaluation reports are shown in the Code Reference Key Chart.ICC-ES NER, ICC-ES ER, and ICC-ES ES reports are referred to as Legacy Reports andhave been obtained over the years to verify that Simpson Strong-Tie products are incompliance with the code. These Legacy reports were evaluated under the 1997 UBCand/or the 2000 IBC codes. In order to obtain evaluation for the 2003 or 2006 I-codes,manufacturers must submit for ICC-ES ESR reports.Simpson has many ICC-ES ESR reports, but currently not all products have beenevaluated per the latest codes. This does not mean that the information in those reportsis inaccurate. Simpson has submitted our Legacy Reports to ICC-ES to obtain productevaluation service reports (ESR’s) evaluated using the 2006 IBC/IRC, but due to thelarge number of reports they have to evaluate and new acceptance criteria (AC) thathave only recently been adopted, ICC-ES has not been able to process all the reportsin time for this catalog.It is anticipated that during the first and second quarter of 2009, our remaining LegacyReports will be converted. To help understand which of our stamped and weldedconnector products are listed in an ESR report, we have obtained an ICC-ES indexevaluation services report, ICC-ES ESR-2523, for these products. This report is areference document to other ESR reports held by Simpson Strong-Tie and will beupdated frequently by ICC-ES as new stamped and welded connector evaluationservices reports are issued or converted. Please visit www.strongtie.com for thelatest information or contact ICC Evaluation Services at www.icc-es.org.IAPMO Evaluation Service has been evaluating products for over 80 years and hasthe same ANSI accreditation as ICC Evaluation Services for evaluating structuralbuilding products to the building codes. IAPMO ES began evaluating structuralbuilding products in 2004, utilizing licensed structural engineers to perform qualityreviews, and currently are reviewing many other manufacturers’ products. Pleasevisit www.strongtie.com for the latest information or contact IAPMO EvaluationServices at www.iapmoes.org.In November 2007 the Department of State Architecture, California, issued a revisedIR 23-1. The Revised Interpretation of Regulation addresses and clarifies issues relatingto Pre-fabricated Wood Construction Connectors. IR 23-1 defines the Purpose and Scopeand clarifies Listing Requirements, Acceptable Load Capacities, Design Requirements,Installation Requirements and Connector Fabrication which addresses corrosionresistant material and/or coatings. Please contact the DSA at www.dsa.dgs.ca.gov/Publications/default.htm for more information.On September 20, 2007, the City of Los Angeles, www.ladbs.org, revised its policyto permit products with evaluation reports from other evaluation agencies with theexception of those products resisting seismic forces. Products resisting seismicforces must be listed in a Los Angeles Research Report (LA RR).On October 1, 2003, the State of Florida’s Statewide Product Approval System becameeffective. The purpose of this system is to provide a single product evaluation andapproval system that applies statewide to operate in coordination with the FloridaBuilding Code. This Florida product evaluation and approval system is governed byFlorida Statutes, Chapter 553, Section 553.842. Since this law specifies that the productapproval system is to apply statewide, Notice of Acceptance are no longer necessarywhere a product has a statewide approval that is applicable in the High VelocityHurricane Zone (HVHZ) and is installed in accordance with its conditions of use.CODE REFERENCE KEY CHARTAGENCYICC-ESLEGACYREPORTSICC-ESESRIAPMO ESERSubmittedfor ListingNo CodeListingNo LoadRatingPrescriptiveCodeCODELISTINGER1211ER4935ER5313ER5349ER5357ER5655ER5672ER5708ER5709ER5938ER5952NER209NER393NER413NER432NER443NER469NER499NER6949603CESR-1866ESR-2203ESR-1622ESR-2105ESR-2236ESR-2330ESR-2549ESR-2551ESR-2552ESR-2553ESR-2554ESR-2604ESR-2605ESR-2606ESR-2607ESR-2608ESR-2613ESR-2614ESR-2615ESR-2616ER-112ER-130Call us forStatus andTest DataCall us forTest DataCODEREF.IL1IL2IL3IL4IL5IL6IL7IL8IL9IL10IL11IL12IL13IL14IL15IL16IL17IL18IL19IL20I1I2I3I4I5I6I7I8I9I10I11I12I13I14I15I16I17I18I19I20IP1IP2160*170— 180— 190AGENCYCity ofLosAngeles,CaliforniaState ofFloridaCODELISTINGRR 24949RR 25074RR 25076RR 25119RR 25158RR 25248RR 25281RR 25293RR 25528RR 25540RR 25568RR 25707RR 24818RR 25064RR 25149RR 25552RR 25711RR 25712RR 25713RR 25714RR 25716RR 25718RR 25719RR 25720RR 25725RR 25726FL10849FL10852FL10854FL11496FL10441FL10655FL10447FL10531FL10856FL10444FL10860FL10861FL10446FL10863FL10864FL10456FL10865FL10667FL10866FL9589FL11166FL11169CODEREF.L1L2L3L4L5L6L7L8L9L10L11L12L13L14L15L16L17L18L19L20L21L22L23L24L25L26F1F2F3F4F5F6F7F8F9F10F11F12F13F14F15F16F17F18F19F20F21F22* As of the printing of this catalog, products coded 160 either havebeen submitted and are awaiting issuance from the respective productevaluation agency or are to be submitted.
