®	LTP4/A34/A35 FRAMING ANCHORS

The LTP4 Lateral Tie Plate transfers shear forces for top plate-to-rim joist or blocking connections. Nail holes are spaced to prevent wood splitting for single and double top plate applications. May be installed over plywood sheathing.

The A35 anchor's exclusive bending slot allows instant, accurate field bends for all two- and three-way ties. Balanced, completely reversible design permits the ASS to secure a great variety of connections.

MATERIAL: LTP4—20 gauge; all others—18 gauge

FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in stainless steel or Z-MAX; see Corrosion-Resistance, page 6.

INSTALLATION:

• Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
• A34— Use 8-8dx1-1/2" nails.
• A35 and A35F—Use 12-8dx1-1/2" nails.
• A35—Use 9-8dx1-1/2" nails for connection types A₁, E, C₁.
• LTP4—Use 12-8dx1-1/2" nails.

1. Allowable loads are for one anchor. When anchors are installed on each side of the joist, the minimum joist thickness is 3".

2. Roof loads are 125% of floor loads unless limited by other criteria. Floor loads may be adjusted for other load durations according to the code, provided they do not exceed those in the roof column.

3. Some illustrations show connections that could cause cross-grain tension or bending of the wood during loading if not reinforced sufficiently In this case, mechanical reinforcement should be considered.

4.G direction only: A35F and LTP4 can be installed over 3/8" plywood with 8dx1-1/2" nails and achieve .72 of the listed load, or over 1/2" and achieve .64 of the listed load. 8d commons will achieve 100% load.

5.A35 installed over 1" foamboard has a load of 170 Ibs (100) and 215 Ibs (125) in an F₁ direction of load.
