Product Description
The Simpson Double 3-1/2 x 26 Heavy Top-Flange Hanger for SCL is a heavy-duty engineered connector built for structural composite lumber header connections where high-load performance is required. Produced by Simpson, this double top-flange hanger is precision-engineered to support double-member engineered lumber assemblies measuring 3-1/2 x 26, making it a dependable solution for demanding residential and commercial framing applications where structural integrity cannot be compromised.
Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Top-Flange Design for SCL Headers - Purpose-built for structural composite lumber header connections requiring high loads, giving builders confidence that the hanger matches the demands of engineered lumber construction.
- Lamination-Split Prevention Hole Placement - Nail and bolt holes are specifically located to prevent degradation of the header due to splitting of laminations, protecting the long-term integrity of SCL assemblies.
- Dual-Gauge Steel Construction - The top flange uses 3-gauge steel and the stirrup uses 7-gauge steel, delivering the material strength required for heavy-duty framing connections without overbuilding where it is not needed.
- Simpson Gray Paint Finish with Hot-Dip Galvanized Option - Ships with a durable Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish, and a hot-dip galvanized finish is available for projects requiring enhanced corrosion protection.
- Double-Member Header Compatibility - Sized specifically for double 3-1/2 x 26 engineered lumber headers, eliminating guesswork and ensuring a properly fitted connection in double-member beam and header assemblies.
Why This Product
- Engineered for the Loads SCL Headers Actually Face - This hanger is specifically approved for structural composite lumber header connections requiring high-load performance, meaning it is not a generic connector adapted for SCL use but one designed with those demands in mind.
- Protects the Header, Not Just the Connection - The precisely located holes work to prevent lamination splitting in SCL headers, addressing a failure mode unique to engineered lumber that standard hangers may overlook.
- Heavy-Gauge Steel Where It Counts - The combination of 3-gauge steel in the top flange and 7-gauge steel in the stirrup reflects a deliberate material choice for heavy-duty framing, giving structural professionals a connector built to handle the job.
- Finish Flexibility for Different Exposure Conditions - With a standard gray paint finish and a hot-dip galvanized option available, this hanger can be specified for a range of environmental conditions without sourcing a different product.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of lumber is the HGLTV426-2 designed for?
The HGLTV426-2 is designed for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications, specifically engineered lumber assemblies where high loads are present.
Why are the nail/bolt holes specifically located on this hanger?
The holes are specifically located to prevent degradation of the header due to splitting of laminations - a critical consideration in SCL header construction.
What gauges of steel are used in this hanger?
The top flange is constructed from 3-gauge steel, and the stirrup is constructed from 7-gauge steel, providing differentiated strength at each structural zone of the hanger.
Is a galvanized version of the HGLTV426-2 available?
Yes. The HGLTV426-2 may be ordered hot-dip galvanized for environments where additional corrosion resistance is required. for details.
