Hot Dip Galvanizing: Stainless Steel: G-MAX Triple Zinc Coating: All products are available with a hot dip galvanized coating. This coating is applied after manufacture. The zinc content of the galvanization process is generally between 1.1 and 2.3 ounces per square foot of surface area. The actual thickness will vary with the material thickness of the part. This process provides the needed extra protection for adverse weather conditions. The best protection from adverse conditions is found in the use of stainless steel for manufacture. Type 316 stainless steel is used. It is recommended that stainless steel fasteners be used in conjunction with these specially manufactured hardware items. The standard coating requirement for ICC approved The standard (G60) .60 oz of zinc for square foot of connectors is coating requirement per ICC approved connectors is (G60). 60 oz coating requirement for surface area.

FASTENING IDENTIFICATION TRIANGLE Triangle shaped holes are provided in some hangers for use to achieve the maximum load values. Both round and triangle holes must be filled in order to achieve these "max" values. DIAMOND SPEED PRONG SLOTTED EMBOSSED Diamond shaped holes are provided in some hangers for temporarily holding the fasteners to the joist or header during the installation process. Also as optional nailing for increasing uplift. Speed prongs are found in many fasteners to provide faster and easier installation. These prongs act to hold the connector in place during the installation process. Slotted holes allow easier nailing when placement conditions are tight. In some cases, slotted holes can be placed in horizontally ("slant nailing" or vertically ("positive angle nailing"), depending on your requirements Embossed holes are used on certain straps enabling installation with a power activated gun, allowing faster and less expensive installation. Specify "SS" SUPERSPEED after the callout to indicate the embossed hole pattern. ITW BCG Hardware © www.itwbcghardware.com - 800.521.9790 3
