LB, BA, B and HHB are acceptable

Installation Information.
The new, next-generation LBAZ and JBA hangers provide
higher loads for 2x10, 2x12 and 2x14 members in 14 gauge and 18 gauge
steel, respectively. The new nail locations on the JBA enable effective use
with nailers.
The B and BA hangers are cost effective hangers featuring min/max
joist nailing option. Min Nailing featuring Positive Angle Nailing targets
moderate load conditions whereas the Max Nailing generates capacities
for higher loads. The unique two level embossment provides added
stiffness to the top flange.
See tables on pages 87-91. See Hanger Options on pages
233-243
for hanger modifications, which may result in reduced loads.
MATERIAL: See tables, pages 87-91.

gray paint. BA, LB, B and HHB may be ordered
hot-dip galvanized, specify HDG.
INSTALLATION: • Use specified fasteners. See General Notes and nailer
table notes.
• LBAZ, BA, B and HHB may also be welded to steel headers with weld
size to match material thickness (approximate thickness shown).
The minimum required weld to the top flanges is
1
⁄
8
" x 2" (

for LBAZ) fillet weld to each side of each top flange tab for 14 and
12 gauge and
3
⁄
16
" x 2" fillet weld to each side of each top flange tab
for 7 gauge. Distribute the weld equally on both top flanges. Welding
cancels the top and face nailing requirements. Consult the code
for special considerations when welding galvanized steel. The area
should be well-ventilated (see page 17 for welding information).
Weld on applications produce the maximum allowable down load
listed. For uplift loads refer to technical bulletin T-WELDUPLFT.
• Ledgers must be evaluated for each application separately.
Check TF dimension, nail length and nail location on ledger.
• Refer to technical bulletin T-SLOPEJST for information regarding
load reductions on selected hangers which can be used without
modification to support joists which have shallow slopes (≤
3
⁄
4
:12).
OPTIONS: B and HHB
• Other widths are available; specify W dimension
(the minimum W dimension is 1

• See Hanger Options, pages 233-243. BA, JB, JBA, LB and LBAZ
hangers cannot be modified. Use LBV as an alternative for
the JBA/LBAZ.

should be installed for additional uplift loads on
the 3x and 4x nailer applications of 970 lbs. and

uplift loads are allowed. See technical bulletin
T-NAILERUPLFT.

5. Attachment of nailer to supporting member is
by the Designer.
This product is preferable to similar connectors because of
a) easier installation, b) higher loads, c) lower installed cost,
or a combination of these features.
