Corrosion InformationConnectors, including anchors and fasteners, installed in corrosive environments or exposed to corrosive materials, or chemicals, can be damaged possibly resulting in the reduction of load capacity. The selection of the proper connector coating can be a complicated task. Environments can vary greatly regionally and are also influenced by variables such as fertilizer, animal waste, and wet cycle durations. If an electrolyte is present, such as water, a metal will form an electric circuit with a dissimilar metal and galvanic corrosion can take place. Zinc is the metal used in the hot-dip galvanizing process due to its ability to sacrifice itself while protecting the base steel underneath. When the zinc and copper are in electrical contact with each other the copper will have a tendency to extract electrons from the highly reactive zinc at a greater rate, therefore corrosion will take place at a greater rate. That being the case it is impossible to prescribe a reasonable uniform solution which will serve all environments adequately. Chemical producers in the treated wood industry agreed to discontinue the use of Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) for most residential applications at the end of 2003. In place of CCA, treated wood suppliers use copper based alternative treatment chemicals. Testing conducted by USP and others in the industry have concluded the ACQ and Copper Azole wood treatments are more corrosive to metals than traditionally used CCA treatments are. Recently some wood preservative manufacturers have introduced new wood preservative formulations. These formulations include new micronized copper products as well as carbon based PTI wood preservatives. USP Structural Connectors currently offers four different corrosion resistant finishes to cover a range of corrosion performance: Triple Zinc (TZ) galvanizing provides a prefabrication coating of 1.85 (G-185) ounces of zinc per square foot of surface area measured in accordance with ASTM A 653. Required Fastener: Hot-dip galvanized fasteners Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) coating provides an after-fabrication hot-dipped zinc coating. The coating thickness is dependent on the connector material, but generally ranges from 1.1 to 2.3 ounces of zinc per square foot of surface. Hot-dip products meet requirements set forth in ASTM A 123. Require Fastener: Hot-dip galvanized fasteners Gold Coat (GC) Gold Coat is a proprietary multi-layer protection system. It is comprised of an organic top coat barrier layer and a zinc layer placed over a steel substrate. Required Fastener: Gold Coat fasteners Stainless Steel is the best option for corrosion protection. Quality stainless steel (316SS grade steel) is used to fabricate connectors. Although costs are higher, some applications may need the virtual corrosion proof quality of stainless steel. Required Fastener: Stainless Steel fasteners

1. G90 and G185 refer to galvanization requirements for ASTM A653 material. 2. Connectors galvanized to ASTM A123 may be used in place of either G90 or G185 coatings. 3. Other coating may be suitable for a given environment if the conditions are known and predictable. 4. For G90 or G185 connectors use fasteners galvanized per ASTM A153. For Gold Coat connectors use Gold Coat fasteners, and for stainless steel connectors use stainless steel fasteners. 5. If the environment has the potential to contain elements which may make it more corrosive, the use of stainless steel is recommended. 6. MCQ is a micronized copper treatment such as Micro Pro by Osmose. CA-C is a dispersed copper treatment manufactured by Arch Treatment Technologies. Organic preservatives include L3 from Arch Treatment Technologies and EcoLife II from Viance, LLC. 7. For wood treatments not shown contact USP or the wood preservative manufacturer for recommended coatings. 8. Testing by USP has found that in interior applications where the treated wood will remain relatively dry during its service life the use of G90 connectors with MCQ or CA-C treated wood is appropriate.

Corrosion InformationThe structural connectors coating recommendations chart on page 8 has been developed by reviewing both field service performance and accelerated corrosion testing results. While accelerated corrosion testing is a valuable tool to help predict relative performance, both the particular testing method used by the industry and the different wood treatment products tested are relatively new and there is little actual field service life data to correlate to the test results. In addition, actual service environments are much more complicated than accelerated tests. In accelerated tests influencing variables are typically minimized and manipulated to cause reactions to occur more quickly. Consequently this may result in reactions which are not completely representative of actual service conditions. Because of this it is difficult to assign an expected service life to a given coating in an environment based on the results of accelerated testing. The formulations used by wood preservative manufacturers are constantly changing and improving. USP Structural Connectors continues to test new wood treatments as they become available and will continue to update its recommendation as appropriate. Corrosion Protection Guidelines: USP recommends stainless steel connectors for the highest level of corrosion protection. As an economical alternative to stainless steel our new Gold Coat connectors are specifically designed for exterior application when in contact with preservative treated wood. Triple Zinc G-185 connectors are available as an economical alternative for exterior applications which will provide a minimum level of protection. The use of correct fastener with the connector is critical. Stainless steel connectors require stainless steel fasteners. For exterior applications, hot-dip galvanized fasteners (HDG) must be used with both Triple Zinc and Hot-dip galvanized finishes. Gold Coat connectors require gold coat fasteners. USPs zinc dichromate WS Wood Screws are not recommended for use with preservative or fire-retardant treated wood. Some wood screws are available in Gold Coat. USP Structural Connectors clearly differentiates standard G90 connectors from the corrosion resistant connectors. Gold Coat connectors are distinguishable from other connectors because of their concealing color. Examples of our carton labels, bin cards for retail displays, and individual product labels are found below.

Materials: FT 18 gauge, WG 14 gauge Finish: G90 galvanizing Installation: U s e t h e S p a c i n g G u i d e c h a r t t o determine spacing between FT units. Each level in chart assumes 12 form boards. Wall thickness from 6 to 12. Install with V facing up. Use (2) WG wedges for each tie. Insert wedge into inside slots for 1x nominal forms and outside slots for 2x nominal forms. No walers or stiff-backs are used. Vertical ties to keep forms from separating are not included. Form deflection may be substantial. Check deflection, if it is critical, and move ties to compensate. Forming lumber is assumed to have fb of 1,000 psi. Not recommended for pours greater than 4 feet in height.11/16

Holdowns TD & TDX series

TD Different welded configurations and sizes acheive a great deal of versality within the TD series. TDX The TDX2 and TDX5 feature formed designs, all others are welded. All are self-jigging. All models, except TD2, TD5, and TD7, feature a self-jigging design with code required end distances built in. (End distance = 7 bolt diameters from the top of the sill to the center of the first bolt hole in the studs or post.) Moisture barriermay be required

Materials: See chart Finish: TDX2-TZ G-185 galvanizing; All others USP primer Codes: ER-0200 Patents: #5,092,097 TDX2 Installation: Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 11. Do not use lag bolts. Washers are not required for anchor bolts or between holdown and bolt hex head, but standard washers should be used against stud or post under the nut. See page 17 for BP/LBP Bearing Plates. Bolt holes should be a minimum of 1 32 to a maximum of 1 16 larger than the bolt diameter (per 2005 NDS , Section 11.1.2). See pages 28-29 for STB Anchor Bolt section for anchorage options. A design professional may specify alternate anchorage with conventional anchor bolts. A design professional shall determine the adequacy of the stud to resist published loads. When installing to multi-ply 2x studs, the designer must specify the fasteners required to bind the plys together and resist splitting. Self-jigging models are designed to provide the required minimum end distance of 7 bolt diameters from the bottom of the stud or post to the centerline of the first bolt hole. Tighten anchor bolt nuts to finger tight, plus 1/3 to 1/2 additional turns with a wrench. Wood members may shrink over time; if possible, nut tightness should be checked periodically. To prevent loosening of the anchor bolt nut during critical loading, use a locking nut or tighten a second nut over the first to lock nuts in place. If used to anchor a built-up post, such as a double 2 x 4, the post component shall be designed to act as a single unit. Holdown fasteners specified shall not be considered to attach multiple plys together.

1) Allowable loads shown are for single shear connections and may be doubled for back-to-back installations. The designer must verify post and anchor bolt capacities. 2) Allowable loads have been increased 60% for wind or seismic loads; no further increase shall be permitted. 3) The designer must specify stud or post to resist published load values. 4) The designer must specify anchor bolt type, length, and embedment. 5) All models may be installed with greater than the required anchor end distance with no chart load reduction. 6) Deflections are derived from static, monotonic load tests of devices connected to DF-L wood members and consider both the deflection of the holdown and cross grain crushing of the wood post. 7) The designer shall consider the effect of compression, bearing, tension, and combined bending due to device eccentricity when applicable. 8) Holdowns raised off of the sill plate may have higher deflection values. 9) Deflections are derived from static, monotonic load tests of devices connected to a steel jig. Additional deflection due to wood shrinkage and fastener slippage should be considered. New products or updated product information are designated in bold font.

Holdowns

Sources of Deflection at the Shearwall Holdown ConnectionsThe following are some of the sources of deflection that should be evaluated by the designer. See the illustration, which applies to other holdown configurations. A. Improperly-sized stud/post bolt holes increased bolt slip can occur if stud/post bolt holes are oversized and exceed the 2005 NDS recommended bolt hole diameter. B. Stud/Post bolt holes bolt slip can occur. C. Wood crushing at stud/post bolt hole perimeters the use of larger washers/ bearing plates can reduce stress-induced wood crushing at bolt bearing locations. D. Eccentricity in stud/post caused by holdown holdowns installed on only one side of a stud or post result in an eccentricity which causes increased stresses and movement in a shearwall system. E. Nut spin anchor bolt nuts that are not restrained can spin loose during cyclic loading, allowing movement; the use of steel nylon locking nuts or thread adhesive may prevent nut spin. F. Loose nuts increased movement can occur when nuts are not sufficiently tightened. G. Holdown deflection holdown deflection can occur when the shearwall system is subjected to cyclic stress from earthquakes or high wind. H. Wood Shrinkage due to drying, wood may shrink and cause bolted connections to become loose; periodic retightening may be required. I. Localized crushing at wood-bearing surfaces
