The Simpson High Wind Uplift Purlin Heavy Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered by Simpson to support joists on purlins or beams in both wood and cold-formed steel construction. Purpose-built for high-wind uplift applications, this purlin hanger is designed to deliver very high uplifts and down loads where structural performance and load capacity are critical priorities.

Key Features

• Heavy top-flange design with 3-gauge top flange material - provides a robust, high-strength connection point that handles demanding load conditions without compromise
• 7-gauge stirrup construction - delivers a durable, heavy-duty hanger assembly suited for high-load structural environments where component integrity matters
• Compatible with both wood and cold-formed steel construction - gives builders and engineers flexibility to use a single hanger solution across multiple building types and framing systems
• Engineered for high-wind uplift applications - supports very high uplifts and down loads, making it a reliable choice for structures in regions subject to elevated wind forces
• Simpson gray paint finish - provides a consistent, durable surface coating across the entire hanger assembly for long-term performance

Why This Product

• Built for the most demanding wind uplift scenarios - the combination of a 3-gauge top flange and 7-gauge stirrup creates a heavy hanger assembly specifically rated for very high uplifts and down loads, reducing the need to source specialty hardware separately
• Cross-application versatility saves time and simplifies procurement - approved for supporting joists on purlins or beams in both wood and cold-formed steel construction, this hanger adapts to a wide range of structural framing configurations on a single project
• Configurable to project-specific requirements - available in configurable options, this hanger can be matched to the precise structural demands of a given application rather than forcing a compromise with a standard off-the-shelf size
• Trusted Simpson engineering in a sol sawn lumber-compatible design - built for sol sawn lumber applications and finished with Simpson gray paint, the hanger reflects consistent quality standards suitable for professional structural use
