Hilti Hit HY20 Epoxy Anchor Spacing

mpro13

Hello,

I've got a set oif plans stating to attach 2-rows 1/2" ~ Hilti Hit HY20 Epoxy anchors @ 32" O.C. provie 2" edge distance at ledger. 2 questions:

1. since there are 2 rows, are the rows of anchors directly under each other, or are the rows staggered?

2. What does the 1/2" ~ mean?

Also, the plans are saying to use a Simpson LUS28 as a joist hanger with a 2x10 joist. Is this right? I thought we were suppossed to use 2x10 joist hangers with 2x10's.

Thanks.

Double-A

You can use an LUS28 on 2x10 if your load values are correct, according to the Simpson website. This is the Doug Fir/Southern Yellow Pine Numbers page. I think the ~ in this case means approximate. I might be wrong.
