RELATED DESIGN INFORMATION TYPICAL RIM BOARD TECHNICAL DATA Maximum Load Connection APPLICABLE STANDARDS SpaceJoist TE rim board has not been evaluated as a structural joist, header or ledger, or rafter member. SpaceJoist TE rim board is 1 1/8" thick and is manufactured to meet APA's requirements. INSTALLATION FASTENER VALUES Nail Values: For nailed connections in the wide face of rim board, use the design values for the Spruce-Pine-Fir lumber group (specific gravity = .42) listed in National Design Specification for Wood Construction. Bolt Values: 350# for 1/2" diameter bolt in single shear with load applied perpendicular to bolt axis. (For other load durations, multiply this value by an appropriate load duration factor). Provide fender washers at bolt connections to SpaceJoist TE rim board. SpaceJoist TE rim board must be supported by continuous structural bearing. For detailed installation specifications, contact your SpaceJoist TE representative. AVAILABILITY SpaceJoist TE rim board is available nationwide through SpaceJoist TE distributors.
