The Simpson Heavy High Wind Uplift Purlin Hanger 8x14 is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered by Simpson to support joists on purlins or beams in both wood and cold-formed steel construction. Built specifically for high-wind applications, this heavy top-flange hanger delivers enhanced uplift resistance and is purpose-built to handle very high uplifts and down loads across demanding structural environments.

Key Features

• Heavy top-flange design with enhanced uplift resistance - provides the reinforced holding power needed for high-wind structural applications where standard hangers fall short
• Compatible with both wood and cold-formed steel construction - gives contractors and engineers the flexibility to use a single hanger solution across multiple framing systems and project types
• 3-gauge top flange construction - delivers maximum strength at the critical point where uplift forces are transferred, supporting very high uplifts and down loads in demanding conditions
• 7-gauge stirrup construction - provides a robust seat for the supported member, maintaining structural integrity under the heavy loads common in purlin hanger applications
• Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish - offers a durable protective coating suited for use in the structural environments where this connector is typically installed
• Sized for 8x14 lumber (sol sawn) - precision-matched to sawn lumber dimensions so the hanger seats and fastens correctly without field modification

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for high-wind uplift demands - the heavy top-flange configuration is specifically engineered to achieve very high uplifts and down loads, making it a reliable choice for projects in regions with stringent wind-load requirements
• Dual-system compatibility reduces inventory complexity - because the hanger works in both wood-frame and cold-formed steel construction, structural teams can source one connector that serves across multiple framing methods on the same project
• Heavy-gauge construction throughout - the combination of a 3-gauge top flange and 7-gauge stirrup means both the uplift and gravity load paths are handled by appropriately sized material, reducing the risk of component mismatch in critical connections
• Backed by Simpson engineering and domestic manufacturing - produced in the United States and finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint, this connector reflects the consistent quality and traceability that specification-driven projects typically require
