The Simpson High Wind Uplift Purlin Heavy Hanger HWPH5.37/11.88 is a heavy top-flange hanger engineered to support joists on purlins or beams in both wood and cold-formed steel framing systems. Built to deliver very high uplift and down load capacities, this hanger is purpose-designed for high-wind applications where structural performance and connection reliability are critical.

Key Features

• Compatible with wood and cold-formed steel construction - gives builders and engineers the flexibility to use one hanger solution across multiple framing systems without sourcing separate hardware.
• Heavy top-flange design with enhanced uplift capacity - provides the structural strength needed to resist the extreme forces generated in high-wind environments, protecting the integrity of purlin and beam connections.
• Delivers very high uplifts and down loads - handles demanding load requirements that lighter-duty hangers cannot, making it well-suited for roofs and structures in wind-prone regions.
• Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish - offers a consistent, recognizable finish that integrates cleanly into professional framing installations.
• Domestic manufacturing - produced in the United States, supporting quality control standards associated with Simpson structural connectors.

Why This Product

• Built specifically for high-wind uplift demands - unlike general-purpose joist hangers, this heavy hanger is engineered from the ground up for applications where very high uplift and down load capacities are a structural requirement, not an afterthought.
• Broad application compatibility - approved for use on purlins and beams in both wood and cold-formed steel construction, reducing the need to source different connectors when working across mixed or varied framing conditions.
• Heavy-gauge construction where it counts - the combination of a robust top flange and a sturdy stirrup means the hanger maintains performance integrity under the concentrated stresses common in high-wind purlin connections.
• Trusted Simpson engineering - backed by the reputation Simpson has built in structural connector design, this purlin hanger gives contractors and specifiers confidence that the product meets the performance expectations of demanding structural applications.
