With this information, the connectors are designed with a safe, sound load in accordance with the Uniform Building Code. • All welding is performed by welders certified to UBC standards and is quarterly inspected by an ICC recognized quality control agency. • Quality control manual requiring each product to be individually inspected in all phases of manufacturing including first piece and inprocess inspections conducted before and after painting. • Material description, including material mill certifications (ASTM designation) available upon request. Only prime quality steel is used, and all steel is ordered based on strength, thickness, formability, weldability and finish. • All connectors and anchors have barcode label and are stamped with the KC® Metal Products, Inc. logo and the model designation. • Annual evaluation/acceptance payment fee and annual document reexamination required. CORROSION RESISTANCE KC® Metal Products, Inc. offers three coatings for products which require extra corrosion resistance. Deterioration will occur more quickly when hangers and straps are exposed to corrosive environments. Products are available in the standard galvanized material or painted with KC® SUPERSPEED® gray paint. If you Hot Dip Galvanizing: require additional protection, all parts are also available with G-Max (G185) triple zinc coating, hot dip galvanized coating or manufactured from stainless material. Fasteners used must also be considered when exposed to a corrosive environment. Please contact the factory for pricing and availability on these processes. Stainless Steel: 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. G-MAX Triple Zinc Coating: The standard coating requirement for ICC approved connectors is (G60) .60 oz of zinc per square foot of surface area. The standard coating requirement for KC® Metal Products connectors is (G90) .90 oz. of zinc per square foot of surface area. This is a 50% increase over ICC galvanized requirements. G-Max (G185) or 3 times the ICC coating requirement. This triple zinc coating is available on many items in the KCMP product line. FASTENING IDENTIFICATION 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. 3 © TRIANGLE
