Product Description
The Simpson High Wind Uplift Purlin Heavy Hanger 8 x 8 is an engineered structural connector from Simpson built to support joists on purlins or beams in both wood and cold-formed steel framing systems. Designed specifically for high-wind structural applications, this heavy hanger delivers very high uplifts and down load values where standard hangers fall short, making it a dependable choice for demanding construction environments where structural integrity cannot be compromised.
Key Features
- High Wind Uplift Engineering - Engineered for high-wind structural applications requiring very high uplifts and down loads, giving builders confidence in extreme-load scenarios where conventional hangers are not adequate.
- 3-Gauge Top Flange - Heavy-gauge top flange material provides the structural thickness needed to handle demanding uplift and down load forces, reducing risk of connector failure under stress.
- 7-Gauge Stirrup Construction - A robust stirrup gauge adds rigidity to the hanger body, ensuring consistent load transfer and long-term performance in heavy-duty framing assemblies.
- Dual-Material Compatibility - Approved for use in both wood-frame and cold-formed steel construction, allowing contractors to use a single connector solution across multiple project types and framing systems.
- Versatile Application Range - Supports joists on purlins and beams in a variety of structural configurations, offering flexibility for roof framing, commercial construction, and other high-load building projects.
- Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint Finish - Factory-applied finish provides a consistent surface coating that helps protect the connector during handling, storage, and installation.
Why This Product
- Built for High-Wind Zones - This purlin hanger is specifically designed for applications where very high uplifts and down loads are required, making it a purpose-built solution rather than a general-purpose hanger pressed into service beyond its intended limits.
- Heavy-Duty Material Throughout - With a 3-gauge top flange and a 7-gauge stirrup, this hanger uses heavier material than standard connectors, giving structural professionals the load capacity needed for critical connections without relying on workarounds or stacking hardware.
- Cross-System Flexibility - Compatibility with both wood and cold-formed steel framing means this connector fits naturally into mixed-construction projects, reducing the need to source separate hangers for different framing materials on the same job.
- Trusted Brand Engineering - Produced by Simpson, a recognized name in structural connectors, this hanger meets the expectations of engineers, contractors, and inspectors who specify tested, consistent hardware for code-sensitive structural work.
