Optional Nails Example:
JL210 – listed load is 1650 lbs. @ 100% for
10d common nails.
If substituting:
8d common nails with DF-L or LVL:
1650 lbs. x .83 = 1369 lbs.
8d common nails with SP:
1650 lbs. x .90 = 1485 lbs.
8d common nails with S-P-F:
1650 lbs. x .72 = 1188 lbs.
No further reductions are required.

How to Use:
The base value is the catalog listed nail in Douglas
Fir-Larch and the adjustment factor is the multiplier for
the applicable replacement nail and wood combination.
• Adjustment factors may vary with some custom
hangers or steel thicker than 10 gauge. Contact USP
for exceptions.
• Roofing nails shall not be substituted for any nail
size or type.

1) Less than the specified nail penetration shall be multiplied by the
applicable adjustment factor.
2) For penetration less than this distance, the nail has no value.
3) Penetrations are derived according to the 2012 NDS®.

Reduced Fastener Penetration Example
(See chart on left):
HD210 – listed load is 1690 lbs. @ 100% for 16d common nails.
