What is a ray hanger?
The beam, also called a beamed hanger, is a mechanical device used to fix the beams and rafters known as the transmitted members to the beams and the headers known as members. Rays and beams can be designed from lumber, wood, structural composite lumber, wooden i-rays or metal in different sizes, so these rays hangers differ in size and design. The beams and beams are connected to each other by connecting elements powered by, screwed or screwed holes in the beam hanger to the transmitted and transmitting member. The stage is a transmitted member who is horizontal and is generally connected to the beam over the beam at 90 °. Any structural connection should use the hangers and fasteners, as shown in the list of material specification of the engineer or architect for the safety and compliance with the building regulations. Special hangers are available I-play-oopular wooden i-play often in residential construction.
rafters have SKLON measured when running over running, such as monochrome. This means that for every four units of horizontal measurement, the rafters are agreed by one unit. In the construction of the design, the roof of the hip or roof with one or more elly requires, rafters also chamfer, which means that they meet the nasal beam at an angle other than 90 °.
When the rafter has a slope and chamfer, where it meets the beam, a composite solution is required for a typical connection. During the installation, specialized ray hangers are available, which adapt to most angles of chammile and slope. Some retailers created a rack of beam, which requires the builder to cut only for the angle of the slope and shorten the production time by storing the miter solution for chamfer.
For a multi-storey commercial construction requiring hot I-rays, the annexation of techniques and designs involving welding and rivets is usually performed; In general, they are not usedand light commercial builders. Metal rafters and beams used in most residential and light commercial buildings are formed cold and have beams that are designed to suit their shapes and materials. In most of these applications, the metal screws are used as fastening screws, although attention must be paid to the list of specification to ensure that safety and code are observed.
Two common steel rail hanger designs are generally available through outlets for buildings and hardware stores. They are the rug of the face of the face and the hanger of the top floor beam. The highest design has cards set to 90 ° on the face of the beam and rests on the upper surface of the transmitted member.
The advantages of the highest flange on the beam are primarily at the speed of installation, while disadvantages include bumps created in the mat and the requirement of accurate adaptation of the Lumber dope is used for rafters or beam. House on a wooden beam on the face takes a bitFor more time for accurate installation, but is much more versatile in use. In both cases, it is important that the seat, the lower part of the hanger on which the carried member rests, is the same size as the beam or rafters and that the side flanges are not longer than the height of the beam or rafter.
