Product Description
The Simpson HGLTV3.520 Heavy Top-Flange Hanger for Engineered Lumber 3-1/2 x 20 is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered for high-load structural composite lumber header connections and engineered lumber framing assemblies. Featuring a dual-gauge steel construction - a 3 Ga. steel top flange paired with a 7 Ga. steel stirrup - this top-flange I-joist hanger is built to handle the demanding requirements of residential and commercial construction where lamination splitting prevention and long-term structural integrity are critical design considerations. The Funnel Flange design simplifies beam seating during installation, and strategically positioned nail holes help guard against lamination splitting in the supported header.
Key Features
- Dual-Gauge Steel Construction - A 3 Ga. steel top flange and 7 Ga. steel stirrup work together to provide the strength margin required for heavy-load SCL header applications, giving builders confidence in demanding framing situations.
- Funnel Flange Design - Guides the beam into position during installation, reducing alignment difficulty on the job site and speeding up the framing process.
- Split-Prevention Nail Hole Placement - Holes are positioned to minimize the risk of lamination splitting in the header, protecting the structural integrity of the engineered lumber over the long term.
- Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint Finish - The standard factory finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for typical interior structural applications, with a hot-dip galvanized option available for projects requiring additional protection.
- 3-1/2 x 20 Hanger Sizing - Sized to match common engineered lumber header dimensions used in structural composite lumber connections, ensuring proper fit without field modification.
Why This Product
- Purpose-Built for Engineered Lumber - Designed specifically for structural composite lumber header connections and engineered lumber assemblies, this hanger addresses the precise fit and load requirements that standard hangers may not meet in high-load framing scenarios.
- Heavy-Duty Steel Where It Counts - The combination of a thick 3 Ga. top flange and a 7 Ga. stirrup delivers a robust structural connection that holds up under the elevated loads common in both residential and commercial construction projects.
- Installer-Friendly Features Reduce Labor - The Funnel Flange design and strategically placed nail holes make the hanger faster to seat and fasten correctly, cutting down on installation time and reducing the risk of costly field errors.
- Flexible Finish Options for Varied Exposure Conditions - The standard Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish covers everyday interior applications, while the available hot-dip galvanized finish extends the product's suitability to applications where greater moisture or corrosion resistance is required.
