Installation:

1. Factory Install: Align the HSKP hanger with the beam, and fasten it using SDCF Timber-CF screws.
2. On-Site Assembly: Lower the beam into position so the knife plate seats properly in the column slot.
3. Secure Fit: Ensure proper seating and adjust using the built-in tolerance for alignment accuracy.

NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values
