LJC-TZ / LJQ-TZ Lateral Joist Connectors
The LJC-TZ and LJQ-TZ Lateral Joist Connectors transfer lateral loads
at the top foundation to the oor joists. The fastening patterns meet I-joist
manufacturer recommendations.
LJC-TZ – fastens the top side of the sill plate to the underside of the oor joist
preventing splitting of the bottom chord anges, and can be installed after the
oor system has been installed. The product is load rated for use with dimensional
lumber oor joists as well as I-joist. It can also be used with cantilevered oor joists.
LJQ-TZ – is a higher capacity connector designed for higher loads. It is similar
in design to a joist hanger with a seat for the oor joist to bear against and
utilizes wood screws to fasten to the sill plate. USP’s WS15-GC Wood Screws
(included) provide quick installation without the need to predrill holes.
