Product Description
The Simpson HWPH612 High-Wind Purlin Heavy Hanger is engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie to support joists on purlins or beams in both wood and cold-formed steel construction. Built for demanding high-wind environments, this heavy top-flange hanger delivers enhanced uplift capacity along with very high down load performance, giving engineers and contractors the design flexibility and versatility they need for critical structural connections. The solid one-piece top flange construction and heavy-gauge steel components make it a reliable choice for panelized roof systems and weld-on applications alike.
Key Features
- Solid one-piece top flange construction - provides extra stability in panelized roof applications, reducing movement at the connection point during and after installation
- Compatible with weld-on applications - expands installation options for steel-framed and hybrid construction projects where mechanical fastening alone is not preferred
- Sized for 6x12 nominal lumber - ensures a precise, secure fit for the intended member size, eliminating guesswork and reducing on-site adjustments
- Heavy-gauge steel construction with a 3 ga. top flange and 7 ga. stirrup - delivers the structural mass needed to handle very high uplift and down load demands in high-wind regions
- Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish - provides a consistent, professional appearance while offering a protective coating suited to interior framing environments
- Supports both wood and cold-formed steel construction - offers broad compatibility across project types, making this hanger a versatile addition to any structural hardware inventory
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for high-wind uplift performance - the HWPH612 is specifically designed for high-wind applications, providing enhanced uplift resistance that standard joist hangers cannot match, making it the appropriate choice where wind load requirements are elevated
- Design flexibility across multiple construction types - compatibility with wood framing, cold-formed steel construction, panelized roofing, and weld-on applications means this single hanger adapts to a wide range of structural scenarios without requiring substitutions
- Heavy-gauge, one-piece engineering for connection integrity - the combination of a solid one-piece top flange and differentiated gauge steel between the flange and stirrup reflects a purposeful design that prioritizes stability and load transfer where it matters most
- American-made quality from a trusted structural connector brand - manufactured in the United States and backed by Simpson Strong-Tie's engineering standards, the HWPH612 meets the expectations of building professionals who require consistent, code-considered hardware on structural projects
