Product Description
The Simpson HGLTV3.516 Top-Flange Joist Hanger from Simpson Strong-Tie is a heavy-duty structural connector built for engineered lumber header applications that require high load capacity. Designed specifically for 3-1/2 in. x 16 in. structural composite lumber members, this top-flange hanger features nail holes that are precisely sized and located to prevent header degradation caused by lamination splitting. The Funnel Flange design guides beams into position quickly and accurately, reducing installation effort on the job site.
Key Features
- Funnel Flange design - guides beams into place during installation, saving time and reducing alignment errors in the field
- Top flange constructed from 3-gauge steel - delivers the structural rigidity needed to handle high-load header connections in demanding framing applications
- Stirrup constructed from 7-gauge steel - provides a durable, load-bearing cradle that firmly supports the engineered lumber member
- Precisely located nail holes - sized and positioned to prevent splitting of laminations, protecting the integrity of the structural composite lumber header
- Compatible with weld-on applications - expands installation versatility for contractors working with steel or hybrid structural assemblies
- Web stiffeners required with I-joists - ensures proper load transfer and structural integrity when this hanger is used in I-joist applications, a critical detail to plan for before installation
- Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish - provides a consistent, clean appearance while offering a surface ready for standard structural connection environments
Why This Product
- Engineered for high-load structural composite lumber headers - unlike general-purpose joist hangers, the HGLTV3.516 is purpose-built for the demanding load requirements of engineered wood header applications, giving contractors confidence in connections where it matters most
- Dual-gauge steel construction - the combination of a heavy 3-gauge top flange and a 7-gauge stirrup balances maximum strength at the bearing point with a robust but workable stirrup, making this hanger well-suited for large engineered members
- Faster, more accurate beam seating with Funnel Flange - the Funnel Flange geometry helps position beams correctly on the first try, reducing the back-and-forth adjustment that slows down framing crews on large structural installations
- Versatile enough for weld-on use - the ability to use this series in weld-on applications gives structural contractors added flexibility when working on projects that call for non-standard or steel-integrated connection methods
