The Simpson LGUM28-4-SDS LGUM High-Capacity Girder Hanger for Masonry by Simpson is a heavy-duty face-mount connector engineered to carry quad 2x8 beams and girders where they bear onto concrete or grouted CMU walls. Built from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this hanger delivers the load capacity and corrosion resistance that structural masonry connections demand. Installation hardware is included - Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws drive into the wood member while Titen HD anchors secure the hanger to the masonry substrate, so the fastening system is ready to go right out of the box.

Key Features

• Designed for concrete and grouted CMU walls - gives builders a purpose-built solution for masonry bearing conditions where standard wood-to-wood hangers cannot be used.
• Includes Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws and Titen HD anchors - eliminates the need to source separate fasteners, keeping the installation straightforward and code-consistent.
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides the structural thickness needed for high-capacity girder and beam connections in demanding applications.
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - adds a meaningful layer of corrosion resistance to protect the connector over the life of the structure.
• Titen HD anchors not recommended for exposed exterior applications - knowing this upfront helps contractors select the correct product and avoid costly field corrections.
• Moisture barrier required between beam and wall per jurisdictional requirements - this built-in installation guidance supports compliance with local building codes from day one.

Why This Product

• A complete, hardware-included masonry hanger - the included SDS screws and Titen HD anchors mean the hanger, the wood fasteners, and the masonry anchors all arrive together, matched and ready for installation without a separate trip to the fastener aisle.
• Purpose-engineered for high-capacity masonry bearing conditions - the LGUM series is specifically designed for concrete and grouted CMU substrates, making it a reliable choice for structural girder connections that wood-bearing hangers simply cannot address.
• American-made 12-gauge steel with G90 galvanized coating - the combination of heavy-gauge construction and zinc galvanized protection means the connector is built to hold up in real structural conditions, not just light-duty framing scenarios.
• Sized precisely for quad 2x8 members - a hanger dimensioned specifically for this member configuration seats the beam correctly and supports proper load transfer, removing guesswork from the connection design.
