The Simpson Strong-Tie HGLTV3.511 is a 3-1/2 x 11-7/8 Heavy Top-Flange Hanger engineered specifically for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications that demand high load capacity. Constructed with a 3-gauge steel top flange and a 7-gauge steel stirrup, this heavy-duty connector delivers exceptional strength and rigidity where it counts most. The innovative Funnel Flange design streamlines beam installation, while strategically positioned holes work to prevent lamination splitting - preserving the structural integrity of the header over the long term. Finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint, the HGLTV3.511 is a dependable solution for demanding engineered lumber framing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of lumber is the HGLTV3.511 designed for?

The HGLTV3.511 is engineered specifically for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications. It is not a general-purpose hanger but is purpose-built to handle the high load demands associated with SCL framing.

What gauge steel is used in the construction of this hanger?

The HGLTV3.511 features a 3-gauge steel top flange and a 7-gauge steel stirrup, providing heavy-duty strength and rigidity suited for demanding engineered lumber framing applications.

How does the hole placement on this hanger protect the header?

The holes on the HGLTV3.511 are strategically positioned to prevent lamination splitting, which helps preserve the structural integrity of the SCL header over time by reducing the risk of degradation at fastener locations.

Is a corrosion-resistant finish option available for this hanger?

Yes. In addition to the standard Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish, the HGLTV3.511 may be ordered in a hot-dip galvanized finish, which provides enhanced corrosion resistance for use in more demanding environments.
