Product Description
The Simpson High Wind Uplift Purlin Heavy Hanger HWPH5.37/18 is a heavy top-flange hanger engineered by Simpson to support joists on purlins or beams in both wood and cold-formed steel construction. Built specifically for high-wind environments, this hanger delivers enhanced uplift capacity alongside very high downward load performance, giving structural framers a reliable and versatile connection solution for demanding applications.
Key Features
- Heavy top-flange design for joist-to-purlin and joist-to-beam connections - supports a wide range of framing configurations in residential and commercial construction, reducing the need for multiple hanger types on a single project
- Compatible with both wood and cold-formed steel construction - provides genuine dual-material versatility so builders can use one hanger across different structural systems without sourcing separate hardware
- Engineered for high-wind applications with enhanced uplift capacity - resists the elevated uplift forces common in hurricane- and storm-prone regions, helping structures meet code requirements in high-wind zones
- Very high uplifts and down loads in a single connector - eliminates the compromise between uplift performance and gravity load capacity, giving engineers greater design flexibility on complex structural details
- 3-gauge top flange paired with a 7-gauge stirrup - the heavier-gauge flange delivers structural rigidity at the bearing point while the stirrup gauge supports dependable load transfer at the joist seat, combining strength where it matters most
- Finished with Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint - provides a consistent, protective coating that helps guard the connector during handling, installation, and service life
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for high-wind structural demands - unlike standard joist hangers, this connector is specifically designed to handle the elevated uplift forces found in high-wind construction zones, making it a dependable choice when code performance matters
- One hanger, two material types - its compatibility with both wood and cold-formed steel framing means fewer SKUs to manage and greater flexibility to adapt to changes in structural design or material availability on the job site
- Heavy-gauge construction for exceptional load performance - the combination of a 3-gauge top flange and 7-gauge stirrup delivers the heavy-duty strength needed for high-load purlin and beam connections, reducing the risk of under-specified hardware in critical framing
- Made by Simpson, a trusted name in structural connectors - this hanger reflects the engineering standards and quality control that structural professionals rely on when specifying connectors for load-critical applications
