Product Description
Simpson Strong-Tie SHH3/68-KT24 SHH 4-3/8 in. x 5-5/8 in. 68-mil Galvanized Steel Header Hanger (24-Pack) is engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie to support traditional cold-formed steel (CFS) box headers fabricated with top and bottom tracks, as well as large-flange lay-in headers common in curtain-wall construction. The connector geometry minimizes drywall buildup while a value-engineered hole pattern reduces screw count and installed cost without compromising structural performance.
Key Features
- The bottom tabs transfer wind load from the horizontal window header to the jamb studs and help support the header assembly during installation
- Tabulated loads are based on component assembly testing, which assists to mitigate design risk
- To enable easier drywall installation, the gusset portion of the SHH is coped to avoid 1 1/2" (max.) track legs
- The screw-hole layout at the jamb studs accommodates flange sizes of 1-5/8 in., 2 in., 2-1/2 in., 3 in. and 3-1/2 in. - this versatility allows the load to be evenly distributed along two lines of fasteners so that each jamb stud carries equal axial load with minimum eccentricity
- Made from 68-mil/14-gauge steel intended for 3-5/8 in. or 4-in.-deep (max.) box headers and large-flange lay-in headers
- Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance
- Packaged as a box of 12 right-handed connectors and 12 left-handed connectors

- What fasteners are required to install the SHH3/68-KT24 header hanger?
- The SHH3/68-KT24 should be installed with #10 screws. The screw-hole layout at the jamb studs accommodates flange sizes of 1-5/8 in., 2 in., 2-1/2 in., 3 in., and 3-1/2 in., allowing load to be evenly distributed along two lines of fasteners.
- How does the SHH3/68-KT24 accommodate drywall installation?
- The gusset portion of the SHH is coped to avoid 1-1/2 in. (max.) track legs, enabling easier drywall installation without requiring additional buildup or modifications to the surrounding assembly.
- What corrosion protection does the SHH3/68-KT24 have, and how many pieces come in a pack?
- The SHH3/68-KT24 features a G90 zinc galvanized coating for extra corrosion resistance. Each kit (KT24) includes 24 connectors total - packaged as a box of 12 right-handed connectors and 12 left-handed connectors - providing both orientations needed for a complete header installation.
