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.
