The Simpson 5-1/4 x 9-1/2 Heavy Top-Flange Hanger for Engineered Lumber is a heavy-duty connector from Simpson designed specifically for structural composite lumber header connections demanding high load capacity. Built with a heavy top-flange configuration and a Funnel Flange design, this hanger simplifies beam placement while maintaining the structural integrity required for demanding residential and commercial framing applications. Strategically positioned fastener holes reduce the risk of lamination splitting, making this hanger a reliable choice for engineered lumber beam-to-header connections where performance and precision matter.

Key Features

• Heavy Top-Flange Configuration - Engineered for high-load SCL header connections, giving builders the holding strength needed for structural composite lumber applications in both residential and commercial framing.
• Funnel Flange Design - Guides engineered lumber beams smoothly into position during installation, reducing alignment effort and saving time on the jobsite.
• Lamination Split-Prevention Fastener Hole Layout - Fastener holes are positioned to minimize splitting risk in engineered lumber members, helping preserve long-term structural performance of the header assembly.
• Heavy-Gauge Steel Construction - The top flange and stirrup are fabricated from different gauges of steel suited to their respective load demands, providing a durable, purpose-built connector for engineered lumber installations.
• Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint Finish - Standard factory finish provides corrosion resistance appropriate for typical interior structural applications, with a hot-dip galvanized option available for projects requiring additional protection.
• Domestic Manufacturing - Produced in the United States, supporting quality consistency expected in structural connector applications.

Why This Product

• Purpose-Built for Engineered Lumber - Unlike general-purpose hangers, this connector is specifically designed for structural composite lumber headers, meaning the geometry, gauge, and fastener layout are all matched to the demands of SCL beam-to-header connections.
• Faster, More Accurate Installation - The Funnel Flange technology guides beams directly into position, reducing the back-and-forth adjustments that slow down framing crews and increase the chance of misalignment.
• Structural Integrity Over the Long Term - The split-prevention fastener hole pattern protects engineered lumber laminations from damage during fastening, helping ensure the connection performs as intended throughout the life of the structure.
• Flexible Finish Options - The standard gray paint finish suits most protected structural environments, while the availability of a hot-dip galvanized finish means this hanger can be specified for projects with more demanding exposure conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of lumber is the HGLTV5.59 designed for?

The HGLTV5.59 is specifically engineered for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications. It is purpose-built for engineered lumber installations where high load performance and structural integrity are critical requirements.

What are the dimensions of this hanger?

This hanger is sized at 5-1/4 x 9-1/2 inches, making it suitable for engineered lumber headers of corresponding dimensions in heavy-duty structural applications.

What is the steel construction of this hanger?

The HGLTV5.59 features dual-gauge construction, with a 3-gauge steel top flange and a 7-gauge steel stirrup. This combination provides robust support through the heavier top flange while maintaining reliable performance throughout the stirrup portion of the assembly.

Is a corrosion-resistant finish option available for this hanger?

Yes. In addition to the standard factory-applied gray paint finish, the HGLTV5.59 can also be ordered in a hot-dip galvanized finish, which provides enhanced corrosion protection for use in more demanding or moisture-exposed environments.
