Product Description
The Simpson Double 3-1/2 x 12 Heavy Top-Flange Hanger for SCL is a heavy-duty engineered connector built for structural composite lumber header connections that demand reliable, high-load performance. Designed in a double-member configuration, this hanger pairs a robust 3-gauge steel top flange with a 7-gauge steel stirrup to deliver the structural integrity that demanding engineered lumber framing systems require. The result is a precision-built hanger suited for residential and commercial applications where lamination integrity and long-term connection strength are non-negotiable.
Key Features
- 3-gauge steel top flange - provides the heavy-duty strength needed to handle high load transfer in SCL header applications, reducing risk of deformation under demanding structural loads
- 7-gauge steel stirrup - offers a sturdy cradle for the engineered lumber member, maintaining beam alignment and connection integrity over time
- Double-member configuration for 3-1/2 x 12 lumber - purpose-built to accommodate double SCL header assemblies, eliminating the guesswork of adapting single-member hardware to multi-member framing
- Strategically positioned fastener holes - engineered to prevent lamination splitting so the structural composite lumber member retains its full load-carrying capacity after installation
- Funnel Flange design - simplifies beam seating during installation, saving labor time and reducing the chance of misalignment on the job site
- Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish - provides a consistent, corrosion-resistant coating suited for standard interior framing environments
- Made in the United States - supports domestic manufacturing and ensures the connector meets the quality standards associated with Simpson production
Why This Product
- Built specifically for SCL header connections - unlike general-purpose joist hangers, this connector is engineered for structural composite lumber, meaning the geometry, gauge selections, and fastener layout are all optimized for engineered lumber's unique properties
- Dual-gauge steel construction balances strength and efficiency - the heavier 3-gauge top flange handles the bulk of the load while the 7-gauge stirrup keeps the assembly practical, giving contractors a high-capacity connector without unnecessary bulk
- Protects lamination integrity by design - the fastener hole placement actively works to prevent splitting in double SCL members, preserving the full rated capacity of expensive engineered lumber and reducing costly callbacks
- Simplifies installation on heavy double-member beams - the Funnel Flange feature helps guide large 3-1/2 x 12 double headers into position accurately, cutting down installation time and effort on commercial and residential structural framing projects

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of lumber is the HGLTV412-2 designed to work with?
The HGLTV412-2 is specifically engineered for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications. It is designed to accommodate 3-1/2 x 12 engineered lumber members in a double hanger configuration.
What gauge steel is used in the construction of this hanger?
This hanger uses a dual-gauge steel construction. The top flange is fabricated from 3-gauge steel, while the stirrup is made from 7-gauge steel, combining strength and rigidity for high-load applications.
What is the Funnel Flange design and how does it help during installation?
The Funnel Flange design is an engineering feature built into the HGLTV412-2 that facilitates easy and efficient beam installation, reducing the time and effort required to seat the beam into the hanger during framing.
How does the fastener hole placement protect the header?
The fastener holes on the HGLTV412-2 are strategically positioned to prevent lamination splitting, helping to preserve the structural integrity and long-term performance of the SCL header over time.
