NB . Any modification to any Cullen custom–made or manufactured connector and/or hanger product will void any warranty given by Cullen in relation to that particular connector and/or hanger product. — ITW Construction Products Offsite reserve the right to (i) change the design specifications and applications of any connector/hanger, or (ii) withdraw any connector or hanger without giving prior notice. — When selecting the appropriate connector and/or hanger, consideration must be given to the safe working loads or characteristic capacities required, bearing support and connection details within the building or structure. — For all Engineered Wood Products (EWP), ITW Construction Products Offsite recommends the hanger height be at least 60% of the joist height for lateral stability. — Any bespoke Cullen product designed by ITW Construction Products Offsite but manufactured by another (unless directed to by ITW Construction Products Offsite ) will not be covered under ITW Construction Products Offsite‘s warranty. Design Information — The integrity of the building or structure must be validated by a suitably qualified Building Designer or Engineer (the “Designer”). — The Designer is responsible for determining that the appropriate connector and/or hanger has been selected. — Location and spacing of straps must be specified by the Designer.
