Product Description
The Simpson Double 3-1/2 x 16 Heavy Top-Flange Hanger for SCL is a heavy-duty engineered connector built for structural composite lumber header connections that demand reliable, high-load transfer. Featuring a top-flange design paired with a reinforced double-beam profile, this hanger is purpose-built for engineered lumber framing assemblies where structural integrity and ease of installation both matter. From residential framing to commercial construction, this connector supports double 3-1/2 x 16 beam profiles with the precision and durability that demanding structural applications require.
Key Features
- Heavy-duty dual-gauge steel construction - the top flange is formed from 3 Ga. steel and the stirrup from 7 Ga. steel, giving buyers a connector built to handle serious structural loads without compromise.
- Top-flange hanger configuration - seats the beam from above for a clean, fast installation that keeps the hanger positively located before fastening, reducing the chance of misalignment during assembly.
- Split-prevention hole placement - fastener holes are specifically located to prevent splitting of laminations in SCL headers, preserving the long-term load capacity of the connection.
- Funnel Flange design - guides the beam into the seat during installation, reducing the time and physical effort required to position double engineered lumber members in tight framing conditions.
- Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish - provides a consistent, uniform coating that offers baseline protection and easy visual identification during inspection and framing review.
- Designed specifically for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications - ensures compatibility with the material properties of SCL, so buyers can specify this hanger with confidence for engineered lumber systems.
Why This Product
- Purpose-engineered for high-load SCL header connections - rather than a general-purpose hanger adapted for engineered lumber, this connector is designed from the ground up for structural composite lumber assemblies, making it a dependable fit for demanding double-beam header applications.
- Lamination protection built into the design - the deliberate placement of fastener holes to prevent header splitting addresses one of the most common failure points in SCL header connections, helping protect the structural assembly over the long term.
- Dual-material gauge strategy for balanced performance - pairing a heavy 3 Ga. steel top flange with a 7 Ga. stirrup delivers strength where loads are greatest while keeping the overall connector practical for field installation.
- Made in the United States by Simpson - produced domestically under Simpson quality standards, this hanger suits contractors and engineers who require consistent, traceable hardware for residential and commercial framing projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of lumber is this hanger designed for?
The HGLTV416-2 is designed specifically for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications. It is engineered to handle high loads in SCL assemblies, and its hole placement is specifically located to prevent splitting of laminations, which helps preserve the long-term strength of the header.
What does the Funnel Flange design do?
The Funnel Flange design simplifies the installation process by allowing for easy insertion of beams into the hanger, reducing the time and effort required during installation.
What materials and gauges are used in the construction of this hanger?
The HGLTV416-2 features a multi-gauge steel construction. The top flange is made from 3-gauge steel, while the stirrup is constructed from 7-gauge steel. This combination provides a balance of rigidity and toughness. The hanger also features a Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish for a durable, corrosion-resistant coating suited to protected interior applications.
What is the beam profile this hanger is sized for?
This hanger is sized for a 3-1/2 x 16 beam profile. The double top-flange configuration provides a broad bearing surface and superior holding strength for that header size.
