Product Description
The Simpson High Wind Uplift Purlin Heavy Hanger is a heavy top-flange hanger engineered for structural connections that demand very high uplifts and down loads. Built by Simpson for use in both wood and cold-formed steel construction, this hanger supports joists on purlins or beams where high-wind uplift performance is a priority. Its combination of heavy-gauge construction and design flexibility makes it a dependable choice for demanding framing applications.
Key Features
- High Wind Uplift Capacity - Engineered specifically for high-wind uplift applications, this hanger delivers very high uplifts and down loads where conventional hangers may not meet structural demands.
- Heavy Top-Flange Configuration - The heavy top-flange design provides a secure, stable bearing surface that contributes to reliable load transfer in critical structural connections.
- Dual-Material Compatibility - Approved for supporting joists on purlins or beams in both wood construction and cold-formed steel construction, giving builders flexibility across a range of project types.
- Robust Gauge Construction - Features a heavy-gauge top flange paired with a heavy-gauge stirrup, delivering the structural integrity required for high-uplift and heavy down-load scenarios.
- Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint Finish - The factory-applied finish provides a consistent, corrosion-resistant coating suited to the environments where purlin hangers are typically installed.
- American-Made Quality - Produced domestically to consistent manufacturing standards, supporting confidence in material quality and dimensional accuracy.
Why This Product
- Built for High-Wind Structural Demands - This hanger is purpose-designed for high-wind uplift applications, providing very high uplifts and down loads that go beyond what standard joist hangers are rated to handle - making it the right tool for structurally critical connections.
- Versatile Across Construction Types - Compatibility with both wood and cold-formed steel framing means this single hanger solution works across multiple building systems, reducing the need to source different connectors for different substrates.
- Heavy-Gauge Throughout - With a 3-gauge top flange and a 7-gauge stirrup working together, the hanger is built to maintain structural integrity under the combined stress of significant uplift and down-load forces.
- Trusted Simpson Engineering - Backed by the engineering expertise of Simpson, this purlin hanger reflects the design flexibility and performance consistency that structural professionals rely on for high-wind and heavy-load framing connections.
