    TECHNICAL BULLETIN

    Connectors Installed on SCL Columns

    Attachments made to structural composite lumber (SCL) often use a variety


    of Simpson Strong-Tie® connectors. It is important to observe that there
    are two different surface sides to SCL, each having different structural
    properties. This technical bulletin addresses the difference in connector
    capacity based upon which surface the attachments are made.
    SCL is made from layers of either thin veneer sheets (LVL), long thin veneer
    strands (PSL) or smaller thin strands (LSL). Even on square posts, each of wide narrow
    wide narrow
    these SCL types has a lumber face that can be referred to as “wide” and face face
    face face
    another that can be referred to as “narrow.”
    The narrow face is the surface that shows all of the thin edges of the SCL
    layers. If the cross-section dimensions are not square (e.g., 3 1/2" x 5 1/4"),
    then the narrow dimension will show the edges. In contrast, the wide face is
    the surface that shows the broader, wider strand or veneer face.
    Simpson Strong-Tie recommends that connectors be attached to the
    wide face of SCL columns to achieve full current catalog load values. If
    connectors are installed onto the narrow face of SCL columns, reduction Wi w Wi Wi

    For download and lateral directions, use full published allowable loads.
    3. The STHD and LSTHD values are based on tests with a 1½" sill plate. For thicker
    sill plates, the STHDRJ or LSTHDRJ may be used with the same reductions as the
    STHD. The reduction factors apply to the highest catalog load in the table
    (5,345 lb.). Allowable load shall be the lesser of the reduced capacity or the
    catalog-listed capacity.
