StiffClip® JH

StiffClip JH connects floor joists to beams. StiffClip JH resists vertical loads. Design loads consider clip strength only. Size and number of fasteners used is based on fastener manufacturer’s allowable load data.

Value

  • Faster joist installation
  • Guide holes for attachment to beam and screw placement to member (.172” in diameter)
  • Engineered for steel joist
  • Structurally load tested
  • Eliminates need for joist web stiffener at clip connection

  • Design loads based on clip capacity and allowable Shear in Joist. Allowable loads have not been increased for wind, seismic, or other factors.
  • StiffClipJH connects floor joists to beams resisting vertical loads and web crippling. The Allowable design loads in the tables above considers allowable clip strength only. Screw size and quantity shown is required for JH to serve as web stiffener.
