Product Description
The Simpson Heavy Top-Flange Hanger for Engineered Lumber 5-1/4 x 20 is a heavy-duty connector built for structural composite lumber header connections that demand high load capacity. Featuring a dual-gauge steel construction - a 3-gauge steel top flange paired with a 7-gauge steel stirrup - this top-flange I-joist hanger delivers the structural reliability required for engineered lumber framing systems where performance and lamination integrity cannot be compromised.
Key Features
- High-Load SCL Header Design - engineered specifically for structural composite lumber header applications requiring high load capacity, so builders can confidently specify this hanger for demanding framing conditions
- Dual-Gauge Steel Construction - the 3-gauge steel top flange paired with a 7-gauge steel stirrup balances strength and material efficiency, giving engineered lumber beam connections the structural integrity they require
- Split-Prevention Hole Placement - holes are precisely located to help prevent splitting of laminations, protecting the long-term integrity of engineered lumber headers under load
- Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint Finish - provides a consistent, corrosion-resistant coating suitable for standard interior engineered lumber framing applications
- Top-Flange Configuration - the top-flange design supports efficient beam and header installation, simplifying placement and alignment on the jobsite
Why This Product
- Purpose-Built for Engineered Lumber - unlike generic hangers, this connector is designed specifically for SCL header and engineered lumber beam applications, ensuring the hole placement and load ratings align with how these materials actually behave in structural framing
- Lamination Protection Built In - the strategically positioned fastener holes actively work to prevent lamination splitting, reducing the risk of compromising expensive engineered lumber members during and after installation
- Heavy-Duty Steel Where It Counts - the combination of a heavier 3-gauge top flange with a 7-gauge stirrup means load is transferred efficiently through the connection, making this hanger well suited for high-load header applications that lighter connectors cannot handle
- Hot-Dip Galvanized Option Available - for projects requiring enhanced corrosion protection, this hanger can be ordered in a hot-dip galvanized finish, extending its suitability to a broader range of environmental conditions

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of lumber is the HGLTV5.520 designed to support?
The HGLTV5.520 is designed specifically for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications that require high loads. Its hole placement is engineered to help prevent splitting of laminations, protecting the integrity of engineered lumber headers under demanding load conditions.
What is the steel construction of this hanger?
The HGLTV5.520 features a dual-gauge steel construction: a 3-gauge steel top flange paired with a 7-gauge steel stirrup. This combination is designed to optimize strength where it matters most in heavy-duty header applications.
What finish options are available for the HGLTV5.520?
The HGLTV5.520 comes standard with a Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish suitable for typical interior applications. For enhanced corrosion protection in more demanding environments, the hanger may also be ordered hot-dip galvanized.
What is the Funnel Flange design and how does it help during installation?
The Funnel Flange is a Simpson Strong-Tie design feature that allows for easier installation of beams into the hanger. By guiding the beam into position more smoothly, it saves time and reduces labor on the job site during structural assembly.
