Product Description
The Simpson 5-1/4 x 11-7/8 Heavy Top-Flange Hanger for Engineered Lumber is a heavy-duty structural connector built specifically for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications that demand high load capacity. Its Funnel Flange design simplifies beam placement during installation, while strategically positioned nail holes protect the long-term integrity of the header by helping prevent lamination splitting. Purpose-built for engineered lumber, this top-flange hanger delivers the reliability and precision that demanding framing applications require.
Key Features
- Engineered for SCL header applications - purpose-designed for structural composite lumber installations requiring high load capacity, so builders can specify with confidence.
- Funnel Flange design - guides beams into position during installation, reducing alignment effort and speeding up the framing process.
- Strategically positioned nail holes - located specifically to minimize the risk of lamination splitting, preserving the structural integrity of the SCL header over the life of the installation.
- Heavy top-flange construction with 3 Ga. steel top flange - provides maximum strength at the bearing point where load transfer is most critical.
- 7 Ga. steel stirrup - offers reliable load transfer from the supported member to the header, balancing strength with material efficiency.
- Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish - provides a consistent, durable coating suitable for standard interior framing environments, with a hot-dip galvanized option available for corrosion-sensitive applications.
Why This Product
- Built for the demands of engineered lumber - unlike generic joist hangers, this connector is specifically engineered for SCL headers, meaning the hole placement, gauge selection, and flange design all work together to protect the material properties of engineered lumber rather than compromise them.
- Dual-gauge steel construction where it counts - the combination of a 3 Ga. steel top flange and a 7 Ga. steel stirrup means each component is sized for its specific role, giving contractors a hanger that is strong at the connection point without unnecessary bulk throughout.
- Faster, more accurate beam setting - the Funnel Flange design is a practical installation advantage on the job site, reducing the time and effort required to position heavy engineered lumber beams accurately.
- Backed by Simpson - produced domestically and finished with Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint as standard, this hanger comes from a brand that structural contractors rely on for consistency, load-table documentation, and code-recognized performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of lumber is the HGLTV5.511 designed to support?
- The HGLTV5.511 is designed specifically for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications, making it ideal for engineered lumber installations that require high load capacity.
- Why are the nail holes positioned in a specific pattern on this hanger?
- The holes are specifically located to prevent degradation of the header due to splitting of laminations, ensuring the structural integrity of the SCL header is maintained over the life of the installation.
- What gauge steel is used in the construction of this hanger?
- The top flange is fabricated from 3 Ga. steel for maximum strength, while the stirrup is constructed from 7 Ga. steel to provide reliable load transfer.
- Is a galvanized finish available for this hanger?
- Yes. In addition to the standard Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish, the HGLTV5.511 may be ordered with a hot-dip galvanized finish for applications requiring enhanced corrosion protection.
