Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie HGLTV5.50/18.75 is a heavy-duty top-flange hanger engineered specifically for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications demanding high load capacity. Sized for 5-1/4 x 18-3/4 engineered lumber, this hanger combines a robust dual-gauge steel construction with thoughtfully positioned fastener holes and a signature Funnel Flange design to deliver reliable structural performance with streamlined field installation.
Key Features
- High-Load SCL Performance: Designed specifically for structural composite lumber header applications that require high loads, making it suitable for demanding engineered lumber framing scenarios.
- Split-Prevention Hole Placement: Fastener holes are specifically located to prevent degradation of the header due to splitting of laminations, protecting the integrity of the SCL member over time.
- Funnel Flange Design: The Funnel Flange design allows for easy installation of beams, reducing alignment difficulty and improving installation efficiency in the field.
- Heavy Top-Flange Configuration: The top-flange mounting style provides a secure bearing surface and accommodates flush or dropped-beam framing layouts common in engineered lumber construction.
- Dual-Gauge Steel Construction: Combines a 3-gauge steel top flange with a 7-gauge steel stirrup for a carefully engineered balance of flange rigidity and stirrup strength.
- Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint Finish: Factory-applied gray paint provides a consistent, professional appearance and standard corrosion resistance for interior and protected applications.
- Hot-Dip Galvanized Option Available: May be ordered hot-dip galvanized for applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance.
- Made in the United States: Manufactured domestically to Simpson Strong-Tie quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of lumber is the HGLTV5.50/18.75 designed for?
- The HGLTV is designed for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications. It is specifically engineered for use with 5-1/4 x 18-3/4 engineered lumber members.
- Why are the fastener holes placed in specific locations on this hanger?
- The holes are specifically located to prevent degradation of the header due to splitting of laminations, which is a known concern with structural composite and engineered lumber products when fasteners are improperly positioned.
- What is the Funnel Flange design and why does it matter?
- The Funnel Flange design allows for easy installation of beams by guiding the beam into position during framing, reducing the difficulty of aligning heavy engineered lumber members on the job site.
- Is a galvanized version of this hanger available?
- Yes. This hanger may be ordered hot-dip galvanized for environments or applications where enhanced corrosion resistance is required..
