| Notes: |
| 1. | Pipe connector resistance from Quaile Engineering report 99-96-2, October 2000. |
| 2. | Mortise and tenon resistance estimated from Quenneville and Mohammad
(Can.J.Civ.Eng. 27: 761-773, August 2000) since the end distance is shorter than permitted
by CSA Standard O86.1-94. These values are for comparison and not to be used
for design. |

| 2. | Short term loading includes wind and earthquake loads
Standard term loading includes dead plus snow or use and occupancy loads |
| 3. | Values are for dry service conditions with no fire retardant treatment |
| 4. | Values are for minimum 6x6 (140x140 mm) white pine or denser material |
| 5. | Connectors to be spaced 2-1/2" (65mm) on centre minimum.
In parallel to grain applications the edge distance shall be 1-1/2" (38mm) minimum. |
| 6. | In all applications the pipe connector should be equally embedded into the two timber members.
The hole for the pipe shall be 1-1/8" (27mm) diameter. Holes for the expansion anchor shall be
1" (25mm) to up to 1-1/8" (27mm) diameter. |
