Except for the two optional uplift screws, fill all screw holes with screws.
To prevent rotation and to absorb uplifting, lateral and axial loads, two optional fully threaded screws are inserted from the joist through the connector into the header.

The specified values apply to the minimum dimensions of the joist.
For larger cross-sections and different screws, observe the specifications of the respective ETA.
If the force is only in the F1 direction, the two optional screws from above can be left out.

* The reinforcement screws are countersunk screws with full thread and must be selected according to the joist width:

40-60 mm (joist width) = screw length max. 5 mm and l_g max. 10 mm shorter than joist width
70-80 mm (joist width) = screw length max. 10 mm and l_g max. 20 mm shorter than joist width

Installation

Fasteners

On header, CSA Ø5mm according to ETA-04/0013: The CSA screws are screwed in perpendicular (90°) to the connector.
On joist, TTUFS Ø4mm (full thread) according to ETA-21/0670: The TTUFS screws are inserted 45° to the connector. Except one TTUFS in the middle of the joist (male part), which is inserted into the joist perpendicular to the connector, this one is also used as an installation help.
