No. Hangers or supports.

See "bearing details" on last page.

And note

"Confirm the required bearing area is provided by a
support that has adequate strength to carry the load."


Might want to get the fastening schedule from the web site of the your LVL
manufacturer.

Red Green, thanks. Just wanted to double-check myself. Beam was sized by the engineer, just wanted to be informed before I have the folks come out and install it.

Appreciate the link too, thanks again.
