• <br />March 20, 2018 <br />Re: Wood Construction Connector Compliance for 2015 International Codes & 2017 Florida Codes <br />To Whom It May Concern <br />Section 2303.6 of the 2015 International Building Code (IBC) and 2017 Florida Building Code (FBC) specifies that <br />Joist hangars shell be tested per ASTM D7147 Testing and EstebNshing loads of Joist Hangers. Previous versions of <br />the IBC and FBC required testing to comply vrlth ASTM 01781 Test Method far Mechanical Fasteners in Wood. Both <br />methods determine a oonnector's allowable bad as the lowest of the following: <br />1. Lowest ultimate of three tests (or average of 8) with a safety factor of 3 <br />2. Average load at 1/Wrich deflection <br />S. Calculations per American Wood Council National Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS) <br />The primary changes in ASTM D7147 are requirements to measure properties of the iestsd materials, such as steel <br />strength, fastener strength, and wood specific gravity. The tested ultimate loads must be adjusted when tasted <br />material properties exceed to spwAod properties. <br />ICC Evaluation Services (ICC-ES) revised AC13 Acceptance Crt ria for Joist Hangers and Simile- Devices in <br />October 2016 to incorporate a methodology to evaluate products to the 2015 I -Codes. Simpson Strong -Tie is working <br />on re-evaluating wood construction connector bads to the new standard to update our product evaluation reports to <br />the 2015 I -Codes. As soon as the updated evaluation retorts are completed, we will apply for Florida Product <br />Approvals. <br />However, reevaluating a large number of products will take time. While manufacturers work with product certification <br />agencies to updats their valod connector evaluation reports, we recommend that building departments under the <br />2015 I -Codes and 2017 Florida Codes continue to accept code repots showing compliance to the 2012 and 2014 <br />editions, respectively, until July 2018. <br />The information in this letter is valid until 1513L1f2018 vdhen it will be re-evaluated by Simpson Strong -Tie. Please visit <br />www.stronctle.com for additional pertinent information.
