The Simpson High Wind Uplift Purlin Heavy Hanger 4 x 16 is a heavy top-flange connector engineered for structural applications where superior uplift resistance is critical. Built by Simpson to support joists on purlins or beams in both wood-frame and cold-formed steel construction, this hanger delivers very high uplift and down load capacities in a single connector - making it a dependable choice for engineers and contractors working in high-wind exposure conditions and demanding structural environments.

Key Features

• Heavy Top-Flange Construction - The robust top-flange design provides a secure, stable seat for joist installation, reducing movement during and after assembly for more reliable structural connections.
• High Wind Uplift Performance - Engineered specifically to handle very high uplift forces, this hanger addresses applications where standard connectors may not meet the demands of high-wind structural requirements.
• Dual-Purpose Load Capacity - Handles both very high uplift and substantial downward loads within a single connector, simplifying specification and reducing the need for additional hardware.
• Broad Application Compatibility - Approved for supporting joists on purlins and beams in wood-frame construction as well as cold-formed steel construction, giving designers flexibility across a wide range of project types.
• Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint Finish - The factory-applied finish provides a consistent, professional appearance and is paired with heavy-gauge materials - a 3-gauge top flange and 7-gauge stirrup - for a connector built to perform under demanding conditions.

Why This Product

• Purpose-Built for High-Wind Structural Work - Unlike general-purpose joist hangers, this connector is specifically designed for high-wind applications requiring enhanced uplift resistance, making it the appropriate specification choice when wind loads are a primary engineering concern.
• Heavy-Gauge Materials Throughout - The combination of a 3-gauge top flange and 7-gauge stirrup means structural integrity is built into every component, not just the connection points - giving contractors and engineers confidence in long-term performance.
• Versatile Across Construction Types - Support for both wood-frame and cold-formed steel construction means this single connector can be specified consistently across mixed-structure projects, reducing the number of different hangers a contractor needs to source.
• American-Made Quality - Produced in the United States and finished with Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint, this purlin hanger reflects consistent manufacturing standards that structural professionals can rely on from project to project.
