Simpson Strong-Tie WP28-2 Installation Overview

  1. Use all specified fasteners.
  2. H dimensions are sized to account for normal joist shrinkage.
  3. The WP may be used for weld-on applications. The minimum-size weld is a 1 1/2"-long fillet weld to each side of the top flange; weld size to match hanger material thickness.
  4. Hangers can support multi-ply carried members; the individual members must be secured together to work as a single unit before installation into the hanger.
  5. Web stiffeners are required for these hangers when using engineered wood.
