The Simpson High Wind Uplift Purlin Heavy Hanger is a heavy-duty top-flange hanger engineered to support joists on purlins or beams in both wood and cold-formed steel construction. Purpose-built for high-wind structural applications, it delivers very high uplift and down load capacity, making it a dependable choice for demanding connections where structural integrity cannot be compromised.

Key Features

• High Wind Uplift Engineering - Specifically designed for high-wind applications, providing very high uplift and down load values so builders can meet strict structural requirements with confidence.
• Heavy-Gauge Top Flange - The thick top-flange construction maximizes load transfer at the connection point, reducing risk of failure under extreme loading conditions.
• Robust Stirrup Construction - A heavy-gauge stirrup delivers exceptional grip and stability around the supported joist, keeping the assembly secure under both upward and downward forces.
• Dual-Material Compatibility - Approved for use in both wood-frame and cold-formed steel construction, giving contractors flexibility across a wide range of structural configurations.
• Durable Protective Finish - Finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint to provide lasting durability and resistance to the elements in exposed or demanding jobsite conditions.
• American-Made Quality - Produced in the United States, reflecting consistent manufacturing standards that contractors and engineers can rely on project after project.

Why This Product

• Built for the Most Demanding Wind Conditions - When a project requires a purlin hanger rated for very high uplift and down load capacity, this hanger is engineered from the ground up to meet those structural challenges rather than being adapted from a general-purpose design.
• Versatile Across Construction Types - Support for both wood and cold-formed steel framing means a single hanger model can serve multiple structural scenarios on the same project, reducing the need to source separate hardware.
• Heavy-Gauge Construction for Long-Term Reliability - The combination of a thick top flange and a robust stirrup delivers a connection that holds its integrity under repeated loading, giving engineers and inspectors confidence in the finished structure.
• Trusted Simpson Brand - Backed by Simpson, a name structural professionals associate with precise engineering and consistent quality in connector hardware.
