QuickMount L-Mount with Open-End Slot Certification Letter - 2 <br />28357 Industrial Blvd <br />Hayward, CA 94545 <br />1-800-227-9523 <br />www.IronRidge.com <br />Table 1 Footnotes: <br />(1) Table values apply to QuickMount L-Mount with open-end slot. <br />(2) Capacities apply to rafter size of 2x4, a deck thickness of 7/16" or greater, and lag screws or structural screws secured within the center 1/3 of rafter <br />width with a minimum 2.5” end distance. Rafters should be in sound structural condition with no sign of rot or decay. <br />(3) The uplift direction is the upward direction perpendicular to the roof surface. <br />(4) The allowable lateral capacity is applicable to the lateral loads parallel or perpendicular to the rafter and to the L-foot orientations when the vertical <br />face of the L-foot is normal to the rafter or perpendicular to the rafter. The minimum required rafter specific gravity for the lateral capacity is 0.40. <br />(5) Deviation reflects the variance of the highest or the lowest test value from the group mean for the respective load direction. <br />(6) Safety Factor is associated with the respective failure modes recorded and determined per NDS-2018 or ASTM-7147. <br />(7) Allowable capacity is equal to Average Peak/Yield Load at Failure divided by its associated Safety Factor. <br />(8) The uplift allowable capacity in Table 1 applies to rafters with a specific gravity (G) of 0.50 or higher. For a wood species with specific gravity lower <br />than 0.50 the allowable uplift capacity shall be adjusted by a factor of �𝐺𝐺 <br />0.50� <br />3 <br />2 per National Design Specification (NDS-2018) Eq. (12.2-1). Results of <br />common wood species are adjusted and provided in Table 2 below. <br />Sincerely, <br />Gang Xuan, SE <br />Senior Structural Engineer <br />Load Direction Test Quantity Average Peak Load at <br />Failure (lbs) <br />Deviation of Test <br />Results (5)Critical Failure Mode <br />Safety <br />Factor (6) <br />Allowable <br />Capacity (lbs) (7) <br />Uplift (lag screw) (3)(8)5 2693 6.9% Lag screw pull-out 3.0 898 <br />Uplift (structural screw)(3)(8) 5 2344 2.8%Structural screw pull <br />out 3.0 781 <br />Lateral (4) 5 425 5.9%L-foot vertical leg <br />yielding 1.65 258 <br />Table 1: QuickMount L-Mount Allowable Capacities (1)(2) <br />Wood Species Specific Gravity of <br />Chosen Rafter (G) <br />Allowable Uplift Capacity <br />with Lag Screw (lbs) <br />Allowable Uplift Capacity with <br />Structural Screw (lbs) <br />Douglas Fir-South 0.46 792 689 <br />Hem-Fir (North)0.46 792 689 <br />Hem-Fir 0.43 716 623 <br />Spruce-Pine-Fir 0.42 691 602 <br />Table 2: QuickMount L-Mount Allowable Uplift Capacities for Rafters with G Less Than 0.50 <br />2021.03.08 <br />14:47:19 -08'00' <br />11.0.23 <br />417 S Clara St #2 <br />04/17/23
