The Simpson High Wind Uplift Purlin Heavy Hanger is an engineered structural connector built to handle demanding joist-to-purlin and joist-to-beam connections in both wood-frame and cold-formed steel construction. Designed specifically for high-wind regions and structural applications where standard connectors fall short, this heavy hanger delivers very high uplift and down load capacity, giving engineers and contractors a dependable solution for the most challenging framing conditions.

Key Features

• Heavy top-flange construction - provides superior load transfer across the connection point, supporting structural integrity under extreme uplift and down load forces
• Enhanced uplift capacity - engineered to meet the demands of high-wind applications where very high uplift values are required, reducing the risk of connection failure in severe weather events
• Dual-material compatibility - supports joists on purlins or beams in both wood-frame and cold-formed steel construction, giving contractors flexibility across a wide range of project types
• Simpson gray paint finish - provides a consistent, recognizable finish that helps with on-site identification and meets jobsite handling expectations
• American-made quality - produced domestically to the engineering standards that structural professionals rely on for code-compliant framing connections

Why This Product

• Built for high-wind performance - the enhanced uplift capacity is the defining characteristic of this hanger, making it a practical choice for projects in hurricane-prone or high-wind zones where conventional joist hangers cannot meet load requirements
• Versatile across construction types - compatibility with both wood-frame and cold-formed steel construction means one connector can serve multiple structural scenarios, simplifying procurement on mixed-material projects
• Engineered for very high loads - the ability to deliver very high uplift and down load values in a single connector reduces the need for supplemental hardware or custom fabrication in demanding structural applications
• Trusted Simpson engineering - backed by the reputation of Simpson, a brand structural engineers and contractors specify by name when connection performance cannot be compromised
