Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie HGLTV5.50/12.5 is a heavy-duty, top-flange joist hanger engineered specifically for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications that demand high load performance. Featuring a purpose-built hole pattern that prevents splitting of laminations - and by extension, degradation of the header - this hanger delivers structural integrity where it matters most. The innovative Funnel Flange design simplifies beam installation, reducing labor time and improving on-site accuracy for engineered lumber framing systems.
Key Features
- Engineered for SCL Applications: Designed specifically for structural composite lumber headers requiring high-load capacity.
- Split-Prevention Hole Pattern: Holes are strategically located to prevent lamination splitting and header degradation.
- Funnel Flange Design: Allows for easy, accurate installation of beams in the field.
- Heavy-Duty Top-Flange Construction: Top flange fabricated from 3-gauge steel; stirrup fabricated from 7-gauge steel for exceptional strength.
- Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint Finish: Factory-applied finish provides baseline corrosion resistance for standard interior applications.
- Hot-Dip Galvanized Option Available: Can be ordered in hot-dip galvanized finish for enhanced corrosion resistance.
- Made in the USA: Manufactured in the United States.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of lumber is the HGLTV5.50/12.5 designed for?
- This hanger is engineered specifically for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications that require high-load capacity. It is not a general-purpose hanger but rather a purpose-built solution for engineered lumber framing systems.
- What gauges of steel are used in the construction of this hanger?
- The top flange is fabricated from 3-gauge steel, while the stirrup is fabricated from 7-gauge steel, providing a heavy-duty, high-strength connection for demanding structural applications.
- How does the hole pattern on this hanger prevent damage to the header?
- The holes are strategically located to prevent splitting of the SCL laminations during fastening. This design protects the structural integrity of the header and prevents degradation over time.
- Is a corrosion-resistant finish option available for this hanger?
- Yes. The hanger comes standard with a Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish that provides baseline corrosion resistance for standard interior applications. A hot-dip galvanized finish is also available as an option for environments requiring enhanced corrosion resistance.
