T-Mack: I HIGHLY recommend you directly contact the manufacturer. Some time back, Sammy's chose not to pursue ICC ESR listing for many of their products and I think that the Xpress is one of them. This caused them no small measure of pain with California state agencies such as DSA and OSHPD, as those AHJ's are looking very specifically for listings that encompass seismically engineered applications. We can't use express hangers on unreinforced metal decks on schools and hospitals as a result. I know that the company has corresponded with DSA senior supervisors in Sacramento and they wrestled with these issues a couple years ago in a big way. I do not know the current status of their products in this regard, which is why I suggest to call them directly and ask very specifically what the status might be, including range of applications for which they have documented listings and approvals.
