Product Description
The Simpson Heavy Top-Flange Hanger for SCL 7 x 18-3/4 is a heavy-duty engineered connector built to handle high load transfer in structural composite lumber header connections. Designed by Simpson for demanding residential and commercial framing assemblies, this top-flange hanger maintains lamination integrity where it matters most - delivering secure, concealed beam-to-header connections in engineered lumber construction.
Key Features
- Purpose-Built for SCL Header Applications - Engineered specifically for structural composite lumber headers, so the hanger performs reliably in high-load engineered lumber assemblies without compromising lamination integrity.
- Strategically Located Fastener Holes - Hole placement is specifically designed to prevent degradation of the header caused by splitting of laminations, protecting the long-term structural performance of engineered lumber members.
- Dual-Gauge Steel Construction - The top flange and stirrup use different steel gauges optimized for their respective roles, giving the connector the strength needed for heavy-duty framing applications.
- Top-Flange Concealed Connection - The top-flange design keeps the connection point hidden above the beam, producing a cleaner finished assembly in both residential and commercial construction.
- Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint Finish - The factory-applied finish provides a consistent, ready-to-install surface, with a hot-dip galvanized option available for projects requiring enhanced corrosion resistance.
- Made in the United States - Domestic production supports consistent quality standards and reliable material sourcing for critical structural connections.
Why This Product
- Engineered for SCL - not adapted from standard lumber hangers - The HGLTV series is purpose-designed for structural composite lumber header connections, meaning the geometry, hole placement, and load path are all optimized for engineered lumber rather than retrofitted from conventional products.
- Anti-splitting hole placement protects your investment in engineered lumber - SCL products are susceptible to lamination splitting when fasteners are placed incorrectly; this hanger's precise hole locations eliminate that risk, preserving the full load-rated value of the header.
- Heavy-duty top-flange configuration simplifies installation in complex framing - The top-flange attachment conceals the connection and reduces interference with other framing elements, making it a practical choice for beam and header assemblies in both residential and commercial structures.
- Finish flexibility for varied job site conditions - Standard Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint suits most interior framing applications, while the hot-dip galvanized option accommodates projects where corrosion resistance is a requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of lumber is the HGLTV7.12/18.75 designed for?
The HGLTV series is designed specifically for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications, making it ideal for engineered lumber assemblies that require high load capacity and lamination integrity.
Why are the nail/fastener holes specifically located on this hanger?
The holes are specifically located to prevent degradation of the header due to splitting of laminations - a common concern with engineered and composite lumber products. This precise hole placement helps maintain the long-term structural performance of the header.
What is the Funnel Flange design and why does it matter?
The Funnel Flange design is a Simpson Strong-Tie feature that allows for easy installation of beams into the hanger seat. It guides the beam into proper position during installation, reducing the effort required and improving placement accuracy on the job site.
What finish options are available for the HGLTV7.12/18.75?
The standard finish is Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint. The hanger may also be ordered in a hot-dip galvanized finish for applications where enhanced corrosion resistance is required.
