Clip Lock brace systems are additional components available for the RICON S VS beam hanger system. The Clip Lock is a special thin steel plate designed to fit into and lock the RICON S VS beam hanger plates together, yielding a resistance to uplift forces. The Clip Lock is installed with the hanger on the primary beam or column, and as the secondary beam is lowered into place, providing resistance to uplift loads. These components are installed using the same screws used to fasten the beam hanger plates into the wood member. A new screw pattern applies to the primary member to allow the Clip Lock to be installed properly, which results in a reduced download capacity. For uplift capacities and installation instructions, refer to the Beam Hanger Design Guide.
The Beam Hanger Design Guide is a practical resource for designing mass timber beam connections. It provides off-the-shelf, pre-engineered solutions such as the APEX and RIDGE, featuring tabulated design values and complete installation instructions to support project completion.
