Product Description
The Simpson Face-Mount Retrofit Girder Tiedown, Left Corner Hip FGTRHL is a Simpson Strong-Tie engineered connector built for moderate- to high-load capacity uplift resistance in both new construction and retrofit applications. Specifically designed for left-direction corner hip configurations, this face-mount tiedown gives builders and contractors a reliable, tested solution for securing girder connections at hip corners - with all required fasteners included right out of the box.
Key Features
- Left-direction corner hip configuration - purpose-built geometry matches the angle of left-hand corner hip framing, ensuring proper load transfer without field modification; the corresponding right-hand model FGTRHR is available for opposite-corner applications
- All fasteners included - comes with (18) 1/4-in. x 3-in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws and (2) 1/2-in. x 5-in. Titen HD heavy-duty screw anchors, so installation can begin immediately without sourcing additional hardware
- Screw holes configured for double installation on a two-ply (minimum) truss - allows a pair of connectors to be installed side by side when higher uplift capacity is needed, giving the installer flexibility to scale the connection to the load demand
- Strap 7 and plate 3 steel gauge construction - the heavier plate gauge at the bearing surface supports moderate- to high-load demands while the strap gauge provides the flexibility needed for secure wrapping around the girder
- Powder-coated gray finish - provides a durable protective coating that resists handling wear during installation and helps the connector hold up in the conditions typical of structural framing environments
Why This Product
- Engineered and tested for demanding load conditions - Simpson Strong-Tie connectors are engineered and tested to perform, giving builders confidence that this tiedown is rated for moderate- to high-load capacity rather than light-duty use
- True retrofit capability - the face-mount design and included fastener set make this connector equally practical for upgrading existing structures as it is for new construction, reducing the complexity of retrofit uplift projects at corner hip locations
- Installation-ready hardware included - bundling the Strong-Drive SDS screws and Titen HD screw anchors with the connector eliminates a common sourcing step, keeping the job moving without separate fastener orders
- Scalable connection strength - the double-installation screw hole layout lets contractors increase uplift resistance on two-ply (minimum) trusses simply by adding a second connector, offering a straightforward path to meeting higher load requirements without switching to a different product family

Frequently Asked Questions
What direction is the FGTRHL designed for, and is there a right-hand version available?
The FGTRHL is designed for left-direction corner hip applications. For right-direction corner hip applications, the corresponding model is the FGTRHR.
What fasteners are included with the FGTRHL, and do I need to purchase them separately?
The FGTRHL comes with all required fasteners included: (18) 1/4-in. x 3-in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws and (2) 1/2-in. x 5-in. Titen HD heavy-duty screw anchors. No separate fastener purchase is necessary.
Can the FGTRHL be used in retrofit applications, or is it only for new construction?
The FGTRHL is suitable for both new and retrofit applications, making it a versatile solution for moderate- to high-load capacity tiedown requirements.
What is the minimum truss ply requirement for a double installation of the FGTRHL?
The screw holes on the FGTRHL are configured to allow for double installation on a two-ply (minimum) truss, enabling a higher uplift capacity when installed in pairs.
