' <br />March 20, 2018 e <br />Re: Wood Construction Connector Compliance for 2015 International Codes R 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 tested per ASTM D7147 Testing and Establishing Loads of.Wat Hangers. Previous versions of <br />the IBC and FBC required tasting to comply with ASTM D1761 Tea! Method itrm Mechanical Fastenero 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. 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 tssted materials, such as steel <br />strength, fastener strength, and wood specific gravity. The tested ultimate loads must be adjusted when issted <br />material properties exceed the specified properties. <br />ICC Evaluation Services (ICC-ES) revised AC13 Acceptance CnIteris for JoW Hangars and Similar Devices in <br />October 2016 to incorporate a metiodobgy to evaluate products to the 20151-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 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 stowing compliance to the 2D12 and 2014 <br />editions, respectively, until July 2018. <br />The information in this lath is valid until 6/30/2018 when it will be re-evaluated by Simpson Strong -Tie. Please visit <br />www.stronatio.com for additional pertinent Information.
