Introduction
Beams, posts and the substantial metal connectors that join them define the soul of a structure. As design elements, they may appear traditional or contemporary, but never trendy or transitory. They do not fly by night. They speak with authority, permanence, stability, steadfastness. They say, I am here to stay. Until now, connectors for exposed beams and heavy timbers had to be custom-designed, engineered, fabricated and finished. Its an expensive, time-consuming process. Thats changed. The new Architectural Products Group by Simpson Strong-Tie offers a wide range of prefinished connectors. Each product combines load-rated structural performance with aesthetically pleasing design. Look inside. The design elements youve asked for are ready and available. And theyre meant to be seen.

The allure of post and beam goes far beyond function.

The Classic Collection

(800) 999-5099 | www.strongtie.com

The smooth edges and clean lines of the connectors in our Classic Collection have a timeless quality that spans design classifications. Though theyre used in conjunction with a historically-based construction style, these connectors are just as perfectly integrated in a refined, contemporary loft as they would be in a century-old warehouse. Created to serve both the form and function of urban-modern design, this collection is a substantial addition to the architects palette.

Its amazing what a simple notch can communicate. In a connector, notched detailing creates the look and feel of a rugged cabin or backcountry ski lodge. Used with heavy timbers and beams, these connectors have an antique quality thats immediately reminiscent of the simplicity and strength historically associated with the American Frontier.

1. Use 0.85 times table load for Hem Fir. 2. Parts should be centered on the face of the member to which they are attached. Wood members for the 3 and 5 series must have a minimum width and thickness of 3" for table loads to apply. Wood members for the 4 and 7 series must have a minimum width and thickness of 5" for table loads to apply. 3. For uplift loads, parts must be used in pairs. Lag bolts of equal diameter (minimum 5" long) may be substituted for machine bolts into beam with no reduction in load. 4. Gussets may be added to HL models when L 5". Specify G after numbers in model number as in HL46GPC.

1. Allowable uplift load capacities are for solid sawn posts with specific gravity of 0.36 minimum except the PBV, which is based on round "Viga" (Ponderosa Pine) wood posts. 2. All allowable uplift loads are based on a lowest ultimate load from testing divided by a safety factor of 4 with anchor installed into the end of the post with SET epoxy to an embedment of 10". Concrete anchorage to be designed by others, refer to Simpson Strong-Tie Anchoring and Fastening Systems for Concrete and Masonry catalog. Allowable uplift capacities shall not exceed those shown in the table. 3. Download capacities are calculated based on the standoff bearing area and a concrete strength of 2500 psi except the PBV which is based on the wood bearing strength (700 psi for Ponderosa Pine.)
