• <br />a <br />• <br />March 20, 2018 <br />Re: Wood Construction Connector Compliance for 20151ntamatlonal Codas 8 2017 Florida Codas <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 tested per ASTM D7147 Testing and Establishing Loads of Joist Hangars. Previous versions of <br />the IBC and FBC required testing to comply with ASTM 01781 Test Mefhod for Mechanical Fasteners in Wood. Both <br />methods determine a connectors allowable load as the lowest of the following: <br />1. Loweet ultimate of three teats (or average of 0) 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 Siryrier Devioes 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 wed 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, via recommend that building departments under the <br />2015 [-Codes and 2017 Florida Codes continue to accept code reports showing compliance to the 2D12 and 2014 <br />editions, respectively, until July 201B. <br />The information in this letter is valid until 8r30f2018 when it will be re-evaluated by Simpson Strong -Tie. Please visit <br />www,stronatio.com for additional pertinent information. If you have questions or need 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., LEED AP dw(BDW <br />Engineer, Southeast U.S. Branch <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />Simpson atrona-Tie Company Inc. 2221 Country Lana McKimay, TX 7500 Phone: 072.542.0326 Fax: 972.5424139 wrai:aaona0a.oam <br />_ <br />CU <br />Cn U <br />00 = <br />N >Q O 2 <br />C co � a- <br />.� U <br />CD 2 U -co to <br />� O O W <br />c 0 � <br />0 � +- CU <br />O <br />. � � � Q <br />Co 4- Q <br />� <br />'40Wei <br />z <br />O <br />L <br />O <br />�1�� <br />U) <br />O <br />L. <br />U <br />0 <br />VI <br />W <br />L <br />w� <br />ZJ <br />z <br />Q <br />J <br />a. <br />SHEET NO. <br />PA 1.0 <br />i - <br />A3 iT <br />FL17244.1 <br />ESR-3455 <br />A23 <br />^` i <br />FL10448.2 <br />9' � W <br />� �p1'' s � <br />ESR•2808 K' <br />HD210.2 <br />FL17232.3 <br />ESR-3445 <br />HU210.2 <br />FL10658.4 <br />ESR•2549 <br />HD212-2 <br />FU7232.3 <br />ESR•3445 <br />HU212-2 <br />FL10658.4 <br />ESR•2549 <br />HD218 <br />F117232.3 <br />ESR-3446 <br />HU218 <br />FL10858.5 <br />ESR•2549 <br />HD218-3 <br />FL17232,3 <br />ESR-3445 <br />HU218-3 <br />FL10a58.1 <br />ESR•2548 <br />HD28 <br />FL17232.2 <br />ESR-3445 <br />HU28 <br />FL10858.3 <br />ESR-2649 <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-2649 <br />HD412 <br />FL17232.4 <br />ESR-3445 <br />HU412 <br />FL10858.9 <br />ESR-2549 <br />HD810 <br />FL17232.4 <br />ESR-3445 <br />HU810 <br />FL10858.10 <br />ESR-2549 <br />HD0410 <br />FL17241.7 <br />ESR-3444 <br />HUCQ410 <br />FL114t38.11 <br />SIM200804 <br />HGA10 <br />FL17888.1 <br />Evaluation Report <br />HGAIOKT <br />FL11470.4 <br />SIM200803 <br />HGAM10 <br />FL17889.1 <br />Evaluation Report <br />HGAM10KT <br />FL11470.4 <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 />SIM200t302 <br />HTT18 <br />FL17324.2 <br />Evaluation Report <br />HTT18 <br />F111498.1 <br />ES-0130 <br />HTT45 <br />FL17324,2 <br />Evaluation Report <br />HTT22 <br />FL11498.1 <br />ES-0130 <br />HTW18 <br />FL17244.8 <br />ESR-3455 <br />HTS18 <br />FL104li8.22 <br />ESR•2813 <br />HTW20 <br />FL17244.8 <br />ESR-3455 <br />HTS20 <br />FL10458.23 <br />ESR-2813 <br />HTW24 <br />FL17244.8 <br />ESR-3455 <br />HTS24 <br />FL10458.24 <br />ESR-2813 <br />HTW30 <br />FL17244.8 <br />ESR-3455 <br />HTS30 <br />FL10458.28 <br />ESR-2813 <br />HTWM18 <br />FL8223.2 <br />Evaluation Report <br />HTSM16 <br />FL11473.71 <br />SIM200802 <br />HTWM20 <br />FL8223,2 <br />Evaluation Report <br />HTSM20 <br />FL11473.11 <br />SIM200802 <br />HUGT2 <br />FL8223.3 <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 8&72, please provide the information and approval numbers on the building components listed below K they will be utilized on fh0 <br />construction protect for which you are applying for a building permit.
