LJC / LJQ 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. MiTek’s WS15-EXT structural wood
screws (included) provide quick installation without the need
to predrill holes.
