The Simpson THGWV7.25/11 is an extra-high-capacity, bolted hanger engineered for the demanding task of installing multi-ply girder trusses. This welded hanger attaches to a vertical web and features a unique wraparound shape that supports higher loads through a double-shear design. Built with precision in the United States, the THGWV series delivers structural reliability where it matters most - at critical girder-to-truss connections in heavy-load applications.

Key Features

• Extra-High-Capacity Design: Engineered specifically for multi-ply girder truss installations requiring superior load performance
• Wraparound Shape: Unique geometry enables higher load ratings by distributing forces more effectively across the connection
• Double-Shear Design: Increases fastener efficiency and overall connection strength
• Vertical Web Attachment: Hanger attaches directly to a vertical web for precise, secure positioning
• Welded Construction: Fully welded assembly ensures structural integrity and dimensional consistency
• Bolted Connection: Bolted fastening method provides robust, dependable performance in high-load conditions
• Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint Finish: Factory-applied coating provides surface protection and product identification
• Made in the United States: Manufactured domestically to exacting quality standards

Approved Applications

• Installation of multi-ply girder trusses in heavy structural framing
• Girder truss connections requiring extra-high load capacity
• Structural applications where a double-shear bolted connection is specified
• Carrying members that are a minimum two-ply girder truss construction
• Applications with a maximum 11 7/8" bottom chord in the carrying member to allow for the minimum bolt end distance

Installation Notes

• Fasteners required - see product specifications for fastener requirements
• All multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit
• Maximum 11 7/8" bottom chord in the carrying member to allow for the minimum bolt end distance
• Bolts must be installed symmetrically when fewer than the maximum number of bolts are used on the backplate
• Girders must have adequate lateral bracing to prevent excessive displacement due to secondary torsional stresses (refer to ANSI/TPI 1-2014 Section 7.5.3.5)
• Carrying member must be a minimum two-ply girder truss to allow for required minimum screw penetration

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of truss is this hanger designed for?

The THGWV7.25/11 is designed specifically for installing multi-ply girder trusses. The carrying member must be a minimum two-ply girder truss to allow for required minimum screw penetration.

What is the maximum bottom chord size allowed in the carrying member?

The carrying member must have a maximum 11 7/8" bottom chord to allow for the minimum bolt end distance required by the connection design.

How must bolts be installed when fewer than the maximum number are used?

When fewer than the maximum number of bolts are used on the backplate, bolts must be installed symmetrically to ensure even load distribution across the connection.

Is lateral bracing required for girders installed with this hanger?

Yes. Girders must have adequate lateral bracing to prevent excessive displacement due to secondary torsional stresses. Refer to ANSI/TPI 1-2014 Section 7.5.3.5 for full requirements.
