e <br />March 20, 2018 <br />Re: Wood Construction Connector Compliance for 20151 ntematlonal Codes & 2017 Florida Codes <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />Section 2W3.5 of the 2015 International Building Code (IBC) and 2017 Florida Building Code (FBC) species that <br />joist hangers shall be tested per ASTM D7147 Testing and Establishing Loads of Joist Hangers. Previous versions of <br />the IBC and FBC required testing to comply with ASTM D1761 Test Method for Mechanical Fasteners in Wood. Both <br />methods determine a connector's allowable bad as the lowest of the following: <br />1 Lowest ultimate of three tests (or average of 6) with a safety factor of 3 <br />2 Average load at 1/8-inch deflection <br />3. Calculators 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 tested materials, such as steel <br />strength fastener strength. and wood specific gravity. The tested ultimate loads must be adjusted when tested <br />material properties exceed the specified properties. <br />ICC Evaluation Services (ICC-ES) revised AC13 Acceptance Criteria for Joist Hangers and Similar Devices in <br />October 2016 to incorporate a methodology to evaluate products to the 20151-Codes. Simpson Strong -Tie is working <br />on re-evaluating wood construction connector loads to the new standard to update our product evaluation reports to <br />the 2015 I -Codes As soon as the updated evaluation reports 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 update their wood connector evaluation reports, we recommend that building departments under the <br />2015 I -Codes and 2017 Florida Codes continue to accept code reports showing compliance to the 2012 and 2014 <br />editions, respectively until July 2018 <br />The information in this letter is valid until 6/30/2018 when it wall he re-evaluated by Simpson Strong -Tie.
