1. Use all specified fasteners. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table.
2. For attaching to multi-ply headers, refer to technical bulletin Top-Flange Hanger Reductions for Multiple-Ply Headers.
3. Flatten edge of header to match top-flange radius.
4. Bevel-cut the carried beam for skewed hangers.
5. For hangers exceeding the joist height by more than 1/2", allowable load is 50% of the table load.
6. May be used for weld-on applications. Minimum required weld is a 1/4" x 2 1/2" fillet weld at each end of the top flange.
7. May be installed on ledgers provided the ledgers are made of 4x solid sawn or 3 1/2" SCL shown in the table below.
