Brian, you're not going to find that in the code. That information will be in the fine print from the hanger manufacturer. We typically use Afcon, and their top beam clamp is only to be attached to a "steel flange" with a specified thickness. Like you, we typically use a Hangermate to install in the side of a purlin. If you are looking to use a clamp, Caddy makes one that is listed for such use. Here is the link for some more info. http://www.erico.com/products/CADDYcfcMultiFlangeRdHngr.asp be sure to read all the fine print. For example they make a swivel model, but that can't be used on Beams.

Sammy sidewinder I would assume. Someone recently asked about using a standard top beam clamp on a Z-purlin, I know that's not the way we do it but where in the code does it say you can't?
