The Simpson High Wind Uplift Purlin Hanger Sol Sawn is a heavy top-flange hanger built for structural connections that must perform under extreme loading conditions. Engineered by Simpson to support joists on purlins or beams in both wood and cold-formed steel construction, this hanger delivers very high uplifts and down loads, making it a reliable choice for high-wind structural applications where connection integrity cannot be compromised.

Key Features

• Heavy Top-Flange Construction - A robust 3-gauge top flange provides the strength needed to anchor connections securely in demanding structural assemblies, reducing the risk of pull-through or deformation under heavy loads.
• High Wind Uplift Performance - Purpose-built for high-wind environments, this hanger delivers very high uplifts and down loads, giving builders and engineers confidence in applications where enhanced uplift resistance is required.
• Dual-Material Compatibility - Approved for supporting joists on purlins or beams in both wood and cold-formed steel construction, offering flexibility across a wide range of project types without needing a different connector.
• 7-Gauge Stirrup - The heavier stirrup gauge maintains structural rigidity at the joist seat, helping the connection perform consistently across variable load conditions.
• Simpson Gray Paint Finish - The factory-applied Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish provides a consistent, ready-to-install surface that holds up in typical structural environments.
• Sol Sawn Lumber Sizing - Sized specifically for sol sawn lumber at 6x14, ensuring a precise, predictable fit that eliminates guesswork and reduces installation time on-site.

Why This Product

• Built for High-Wind Structural Demands - When a project calls for enhanced uplift resistance in high-wind zones, this hanger is specifically engineered for that purpose, providing very high uplifts and down loads rather than relying on a general-purpose connector stretched beyond its intended use.
• One Connector, Two Construction Types - Compatibility with both wood and cold-formed steel construction means this single hanger can serve multiple framing scenarios, simplifying procurement and inventory management for contractors working across different project types.
• Heavy-Gauge Build for Critical Connections - The combination of a 3-gauge top flange and a 7-gauge stirrup reflects a design prioritized for structural applications where load transfer at the purlin-to-joist connection is a critical engineering concern.
• Made in the United States - Domestic production supports consistent quality standards and reliable material sourcing, which matters on projects where traceability and specification compliance are important to the design team.
