S-Ledger Installaon
The S-Ledger has (3) 3/8” pre-drilled hole paern spaced evenly across the length of the S-Ledger. This is an
engineered hole paern designed for opmal performance when securing to the structure.
All pre-drilled holes
should be used when
securing the S-Ledger to
the structure.
If local building code requires connectors larger than 3/8", the factory sized holes can be drilled out using a
metal cung drill bit.
WARNING!
Aachment to the structure will vary
depending on the aachment material and
geographical region. Consult your local
building code ocial or structural engineer to
determine the proper size and type of
bolt/screw to use to aach the S-ledger to the
structure.
WARNING!
Flashing/Water Management requirements will
vary from region to region. Consult your local
building code ocial or structural engineer for
proper ashing/water management treatment.
Aach F-50 Bracket to the outside edges of the S-Ledger
with Evoluon self-drilling screws.
Once the Ledger Brackets are in place and the S-Ledger is
aached to the structure, the F50 Brackets are used as the
joist aachments on both ends of the S-Ledger.
NOTE: The F50 Bracket is also used anyme there’s a joist
aachment to the S-Ledger that requires non-standard
spacing. This could occur if you’re adding joists for blocking
or adding addional support.
