a <br />March 20, 2018 <br />Re: Wood Construction Connector Compliance for 2016 Intarnatlonal Codes 8 2017 Florida Codes <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />Section 2303.5 of the 2015 International Building Code (IBC) and 2017 Florida Building Code (FBC) specifies that <br />joist hangers shall be testad per ASTM 07147 Testing and Establishing Loads of Joist Hangers. Previous versions of <br />the IBC and FBC required testing to comply with ASTM D1781 Test Method for Mechanical Fasteners in Wood. Both <br />methods determine a connector's allowable bad as the kwvest 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 1/8•Inch deflection <br />3. 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 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 m incorporate a methodology to evaluate products m the 2015 I -Codes. Simpson Strong -Tie is working <br />on re-"usting 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 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 recormend that building departments under the <br />2015 1-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 &=2018 when it will be re-evaluated by Simpson Strong -Tie. Please visit <br />b000p ,ggm for additional pertinent information. If you have questions or reed further assistance regarding <br />this matter, please contact the Simpson Strong -Tie Engineering Department at 800.999.5099. <br />Sincerely, <br />SIMPSON STRONG -TIE COMPANY INC. <br />Keith Cullum, P.E., LEER AP dWBDW <br />Engineer, Southeast U.S. Branch <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />Shnpeon Strong -Tie Company Inc. 222f Country Lena MoKimvy, TX 75M Phone; 072.542.0320 Fnc 572.542.4139 waw abohda.cwn <br />N <br />Cni j (D U <br />N OL .� <br />W O O <br />C CU <br />cuCDv • <br />O 2 O <br />0 <br />C O <br />-0 O <br />N (D Q <br />Q (a Q <br />CU <br />Z <br />O <br />L <br />O <br />.tea <br />W <br />`4 <br />O <br />L <br />U <br />O <br />V, <br />L5 <br />w <br />W <br />z <br />Z <br />Q <br />J <br />CL <br />SHEET NO. <br />PA 1.0 <br />h <br />� <br />A3 <br />'. <br />- °, d^. <br />FL17244.1 <br />I / ,trsa�" <br />M *ire � <br />ESR-3455 <br />� <br />1!!HU210-2 <br />t <br />A23 <br />t <br />FL10448.2 <br />n <br />- ��t <br />�'h"±a• 1 <br />ESR-2806HD210.2 <br />FL17232.3 <br />ESR•3445 <br />FL10858.4 <br />ESR-2549 <br />HD212-2 <br />FL77232.3 <br />ESR-3445 <br />HU212-2 <br />FL10858.4 <br />ESR-2549 <br />HD218 <br />FL17232.3 <br />ESR-3445 <br />HU218 <br />FL70858.5 <br />ESR-2549 <br />HD218.3 <br />FL17232.3 <br />ESR-3445 <br />HU218-3 <br />FL10858.1 <br />ESR-2549 <br />HD28 <br />FL17232.2 <br />ESR-3445 <br />HU28 <br />FL10858.3 <br />ESR-2549 <br />HD28-2 <br />FL17232.3 <br />ESR-3445 <br />HU28.2 <br />FL10858.4 <br />ESR-2549 <br />HD410 <br />FL17232.4 <br />ESR-3445 <br />HU410 <br />FL10858.9 <br />ESR-2549 <br />HD412 <br />FL17232.4 <br />ESR-3446 <br />HU412 <br />FL10858.9 <br />ESR-2549 <br />HD810 <br />FL17232.4 <br />ESR-3445 <br />HU810 <br />FL108S8.10 <br />ESR-2549 <br />HD0410 <br />FL17241.7 <br />ESR-3444 <br />HUC0410 <br />FL11488.11 <br />SIM200804 <br />HGA10 <br />FL17899.1 <br />Evaluation Report <br />HGAtOKT <br />FL11470.4 <br />SIM200803 <br />HGAM10 <br />FL17899.1 <br />Evaluation Report <br />HGAMtOKT <br />FLt1470.4 <br />SIM200803 <br />HHCP2 <br />FL17238.7 <br />ESR-3448 <br />HCP2 <br />FL10447.2 <br />ESR-2551 <br />HTA18 <br />FL17880.4 <br />Evaluation Report <br />HETA18 <br />FL11473.5 <br />SIM200802 <br />HTA20.18 <br />FL17880.4 <br />Evaluation Report <br />HETA20 <br />FL11473.5 <br />SIM200802 <br />HTT18 <br />FL17324.2 <br />Evaluation Report <br />HTT18 <br />FL1t498.1 <br />ES-0130 <br />HTT45 <br />FL17324.2 <br />Evaluation Report <br />H7T22 <br />FL11498.1 <br />ES-0130 <br />HTW18 <br />FLt7244.8 <br />ESR-3455 <br />HTS18 <br />FL10458.22 <br />ESR-2813 <br />HTW20 <br />FL17244.8 <br />ESR-3455 <br />HTS20 <br />FL10468.23 <br />ESR•2813 <br />HTW24 <br />FL17244.8 <br />ESR-3455 <br />HTS24 <br />FL70458.24 <br />ESR-2813 <br />HTW30 <br />FLt7244.8 <br />ESR-3455 <br />HTS30 <br />FL10458.28 <br />ESR-2813 <br />HTWM18 <br />FL8223.2 <br />Evaluation Report <br />HTSM18 <br />FL11473.11 <br />SIM200802 <br />HTWM20 <br />FL8223.2 <br />Evaluation Report <br />HTSM20 <br />FL11473.11 <br />SIM200802 <br />HUGT2 <br />F1.8223.3 <br />Evaluation Report <br />HGT2 <br />FL10458.18 <br />ESR-2813 <br />HUGT3 <br />FL8223.3 <br />Evaluation Repo <br />PRODUCT APPROVAL SPECIFICATION SHEET (2018) March 28, 2018 <br />As required by Florida Statute 553.842 and Florida Administrative Code 98.72, please provide the information and approval numbers on Me building components fisted below If they will be utilized an the construction project for which you are applying for a building permit We recommend you tooted your local product supplier should you not know the product revel number for an of the a approval y applicable listed <br />products. <br />_. <br />Cstaporyl3ubcategory <br />Manufacturer <br />Product Description <br />Approval Number(s) <br />Test Pressures <br />t.
