The Simpson HGLTV3.56/11.25 Heavy Top-Flange Hanger from Simpson Strong-Tie is engineered specifically for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications that require high load capacity in demanding framing assemblies. Designed to accept a 3-1/2 in. x 11-1/4 in. engineered wood member, this heavy joist hanger features a Funnel Flange design that guides beams into position quickly and accurately during installation. Top-flange nail holes are precisely sized and located to prevent splitting of SCL laminations, protecting the integrity of the header while delivering a strong, code-compliant connection for engineered lumber framing projects.

Key Features

• Funnel Flange design - guides beams into the hanger during installation, reducing alignment difficulty and speeding up the framing process.
• Precisely positioned top-flange nail holes - prevent degradation caused by lamination splitting in SCL headers, preserving the structural integrity of the connection.
• Top flange constructed from 3-gauge steel - delivers the heavy-duty strength needed to handle high loads in structural composite lumber header applications.
• Stirrup constructed from 7-gauge steel - provides a robust cradle for the engineered wood member, ensuring stable, long-term support at the connection point.
• Compatible with weld-on applications - expands installation options for contractors working in steel-framed or hybrid structural assemblies.
• Web stiffeners required with I-joists - ensures proper load transfer and structural integrity when this hanger is used in I-joist framing applications.
• Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish - provides a durable, corrosion-resistant coating suited for interior structural framing environments.

Why This Product

• Built for high-load SCL header connections - the HGLTV series is specifically designed for structural composite lumber applications where standard hangers may fall short, making it the right tool for engineered wood framing that carries significant loads.
• Faster, more accurate beam installation - the Funnel Flange design takes the guesswork out of seating large engineered lumber members, reducing installation time and the chance of misalignment on the job.
• Dual-gauge steel construction where it counts - the combination of a heavy 3-gauge top flange and a 7-gauge stirrup means strength is concentrated in the areas of highest stress, giving contractors confidence in the finished connection.
• Versatile enough for weld-on use - unlike hangers limited to nail-only installation, this series supports weld-on applications, offering flexibility across a wider range of structural framing scenarios.
