Important Product Documents
Review the available engineering, installation, and selection documents before ordering or beginning work.
Application first
Review the basic application and limits below. The current design report and installation instructions remain the technical source of truth.
Identify the dimensional-lumber joist size, the damage, and the remaining wood before choosing a kit.
Choose the 24, 30, 34, 42-inch, or other Nolan configuration that provides the required reach for the repair.
The referenced analysis limits notch width to 6 inches; multiple straps may be used when they do not overlap.
How the system works
The Nolan steel strap carries tension across the damaged region and transfers that force back into sound wood on both sides. Different strap lengths provide practical options for common repair locations and utility conflicts.
