SILENCE. The TrimJoist® provides afull 3-1/2” wide surface for the propernailing and gluing of subfloor materials.By providing such a wide surface, theTrimJoist® allows the builder to use sub-floor framing tolerances that will preventsqueaks.The wide surface also allows forthe application of sufficient glue to makethe TrimJoist® and the subfloor truly actas a unified system.

QUALITY. The TrimJoist® addressesproduct consistency and product qualityfrom three key perspectives:

DESIGN. The TrimJoist® was initiallydesigned using the most capable struc-tural engineers and computer softwaresystems available from both inside andoutside the forest products industry.Thisincludes the PPSA system from PurdueUniversity as well as Rasna finite elementsoftware from Parametric Technology.

MATERIAL CONTROL. All rawmaterial components are structurallyrated by various independent agenciessuch as the Truss Plate Institute (TPI),Southern Pine Inspection Bureau (SPIB),American Plywood Association (APA),American Society for Testing andMaterials (ASTM), and of course ANSI.In fact, all TrimJoist® floor trusses nowconform to the new ANSI/TPI-2002standard. In addition, all lumber compo-nents of the TrimJoist® are subject to astrict “cull” process where questionablepieces are discarded before enteringinto the production process.

PRODUCTION TESTING. In addi-tion to the rigorous testing performedon prototype units during the develop-ment phase of the TrimJoist®. All produc-tion runs are subject to periodic, ran-dom tests.These tests are conducted tothe standards of the Truss Plate Institute(TPI) Test Truss Specification. No otherproduction floor truss is subjected tosuch ongoing scrutiny and improvement.

ENVIRONMENT. The TrimJoist®

design allows for the utilization of lum-ber from plantation-grown trees, thussparing the “old-growth” forests that arenecessary to produce all traditionalwide-board joists. In addition, our engi-neered strength allows for longer spansand greater on-center spacing.This notonly reduces construction costs, but canreduce the board footage of wood fiberrequired by up to 12% over traditionaljoists.

By design, approximately 40% of theTrimJoist® material content is from recy-cled sources. In addition, our manufactur-ing process recovers over 97% of itsgenerated waste.

INNOVATION. The TrimJoist® is pro-duced in stock lengths that range from4’ to 30’, in standard 2-foot increments.Because each joist has 12-inches of trimat each end, a continuous range of spansis possible. Complex angled walls? Noproblem for the TrimJoist®.

The open web design of the TrimJoist®

allows for the utilization of that valuablefloor cavity space. It’s now practical forduct work, wiring, and plumbing to becontained within this cavity.This elimi-nates unsightly and expensive furring.Free access to the floor cavity requiresno cutting or notching that can severelyimpair the structural integrity of otherjoists products of inferior design.

SERVICE. Put simply, the TrimJoist® isthe superior product for floor joist appli-cations.To aid architects, building design-ers, and contractors we offer toll-freeaccess to a TrimJoist® representative. Bysimply calling (800) 844-8281 you cangain immediate assistance with yourquestion or framing issue.

Floor performance is greatly influenced byjoist stiffness. Experience has shown that afloor system designed to minimum codeacceptance may not meet the expectationof discerning owners.TrimJoist®Corporation strongly recommends thatfloor spans be limited to those indicated inthe optimal performance chart above. Also,using a higher live load deflection limit suchas L/600 as shown in the high performancechart above will result in a stiffer floor.Thenumbers in these charts far exceed mini-mum code requirements and are based onboth gluing and nailing the subfloor. In caseswhere the subfloor is nailed only, spansremain the same, but the stiffness must bereduced by 20%. For optimal performanceuse screws in lieu of nails.

1. Spans are based on uniformly loadedjoists and include allowances for repeti-tive use members.

2. All TrimJoist® floor joists have a TOPorientation and should not be installedupside-down.

3. Limit total reaction (per end) to thatindicated in the Maximum ReactionTable at the right.

4. Stiffness factors (L/xxx) assume a mini-mum 3/4-inch span-rated subfloor thathas been both glued and nailed.

5. Do not apply center supports, can-tilevers, concentrated, or asymmetricalcontinuous loads without first consult-ing a TrimJoist® representative.

HEAVY LOAD SPAN CHART

The uniform load span charts shown indi-cate the maximum design spans (includinga 1 3/4” minimum bearing evenly trimmed)for each family of TrimJoist® floor joists.Each chart is divided into columns whichrepresent typical spacings and rows whichshow maximum spans. Most residentialdesigns require a minimum of 55 psf load-ing. Floors used for heavy traffic and/orheavy floor coverings (e.g. tile) should bedesigned at 65 psf minimum. All loads arebroken down into LIVE, TOP-DEAD andBOTTOM-DEAD components. For exam-ple, the 55 psf column is really 40 psf liveplus 10 psf top-dead plus 5 psf bottom-dead for a total of 55 psf. Dead loads are

the weight of construction materials andare always present for the whole life ofthe structure. Live loads, on the otherhand, are transient and are never con-stant over the life of the structure.Thesecharts are for uniformly loaded, clearspan, simply supported joists. For specialapplications requiring concentratedloads, asymmetric continuous loads, can-tilevers or special bearing conditionsplease consult a TrimJoist® representa-tive or authorized dealer.The TrimJoist®Selector computer program can be usedto analyze almost any loading and/orbearing condition.

In most single and two story residential applications,the TrimJoist® does not require any ribbon banding toachieve structural performance.This is due to thethickness of the OSB web material and the closeproximity of the vertical web stiffener. However, thebuilding designer may require such banding for otherpurposes.The end details are those typically encoun-tered. However, other end framing conditions are also possible. Contact a TrimJoist representative for moreinformation on special framing conditions.

DO Install TrimJoist® right side up.TOP isstamped on the top of each joist.

DO Make sure that each TrimJoist® bearson the bottom flange beneath the TrimEndsection or beneath the first metal plate ifthe TrimEnd section has been removed.

DO Use strongback stiffeners. Although notrequired for structural performance,strongback adds additional resistance toimpact loadings.

DO Provide appropriate bearing width ateach end of the TrimJoist®.The requiredwidth can be found in the MaximumReaction Table on page 4. Use vertical webstiffeners where reactions exceed thesevalues.

DO Use TrimJoist® approved hangers forflush-mounted bearing conditions.Thesemay be purchased from your localTrimJoist® dealer.

DO Use an appropriately rated sub-floorthat has been both glued andnailed/screwed to the top flange of theTrimJoist®.

DO Consult your TrimJoist® dealer or rep-resentative about special loading or bear-ing conditions not addressed in this Guide.

DO NOT cut any part of the TrimJoist®

except for the TrimEnd® sections whichare specifically designed to be field cut.

DO NOT remove, cut or alter any metalplate connector on the TrimJoist® withoutfirst consulting a factory engineer.

DO NOT install the TrimJoist® upside downwithout first consulting a TrimJoist® factoryengineer.

DO NOT use a TrimJoist® as a header orbeam except as may be instructed by aTrimJoist® engineer.

DO NOT allow the TrimJoist® to be sup-ported by the top flange. All support mustbe from under the bottom flange.

DO NOT depend on “toe nailing” to provideadequate support capacity for flush-mounted framing. Consult your localTrimJoist® dealer or a TrimJoist® factoryengineer for proper hanger selection.

DO NOT apply special support or load con-ditions without first consulting a TrimJoist®representative.

TrimJoist®s will not support workers orother loads until properly installed andbraced.To minimize risk of injury, eachTrimJoist® shall be properly fastened as itis erected. Continuous closure and/or 2xend banding must be installed andattached prior to installing floor or roofsheathing. Lateral restraint, such as anexisting deck or braced end wall must beestablished at the ends of the bay.Alternately, a temporary or permanentdeck (sheathing) may be nailed to the first4 feet of joists at the end of the bay. Rowsof temporary bracing at right angles tojoists must be fastened with a minimum oftwo 8d nails (10d box nails if net thicknessof bracing exceeds 1”) to the upper sur-face of each parallel joist and the estab-lished lateral restraint. Bracing should be1x4 minimum and at least 8’ long with on-center spacing not to exceed 10’. Ends ofadjoining bracing should lap over at leasttwo joists. Stack building materials overmain beams or walls only.

Improper storage or installation, failure tofollow applicable building codes, failure tofollow proper load tables, or failure to useplywood gussets when required can resultin serious accidents. Installation notes andgood framing practices must be followedcarefully.

• Bundles should be stored upright on asmooth, level, well-drained supportivesurface.

• Bundles should not be in contact withthe ground.

• Bundles should remain wrapped,strapped and protected from theweather until time of installation.

• Place 2x spacers (at a maximum of 10’apart) between bundles and theground, and bundles stored on top ofone another.

• Be careful when handling TrimJoist®swith a forklift or crane.

• When handling Trimjoist®s, they shouldremain verticle.

• Avoid excessive bowing during all phas-es of handling and installation (i.e.measuring, sawing, or placement)

• Damage my result if the joist is twistedor a load is applied to it while it’s lyingflat.

• Except for cutting to length, top andbottom flanges of TrimJoist®s shall notbe cut, drilled or notched.

• Concentrated loads shall only beapplied to the upper surface of the topflange, not suspended from the bottomflange. Contact TrimJoist® engineers forexceptions.

• Any fastening, resistance to uplift ormember not specifically detailed is sub-ject to local approval.

• End bearing length must be at least1-3/4”.

• TrimJoist® must not remain in directcontact with concrete or masonry con-struction and shall be used in dry useconditions only.

• TrimJoist®s must be restrained againstrotation at the end of joists by use ofrim joists, 2x end banding, or crossbridging.

• Install vertical web stiffeners to transferloads from above to the wall or foun-dation below if they exceed the valuesfound in the Maximum Reaction Table.

• Plywood or OSB subfloor nailed to thetop flange of a TrimJoist® is adequateto provide lateral support.

• Any fastening, resistance to uplift ormember not specifically detailed is sub-ject to local approval.

• TrimJoist®s are not stable until com-pletely installed, and will not supportany load until fully braced andsheathed.

• Do not allow workers to walk onTrimJoist® until joists are fully installedand braced, or serious injuries canresult.

• Never install a damaged TrimJoist®.
