The Simpson Heavy Top-Flange Hanger for Engineered Lumber HGLTV7.37/14 is a heavy-duty structural connector built for high-load SCL header applications where performance and long-term integrity cannot be compromised. Combining a 3 ga. steel top flange with a 7 ga. steel stirrup, this top-flange hanger delivers the material strength that demanding engineered lumber installations require. The precision-located hole pattern and Funnel Flange design work together to protect the header and simplify beam placement, making this hanger a dependable choice for contractors working with structural composite lumber.

Key Features

• 3 ga. steel top flange paired with 7 ga. steel stirrup - delivers the heavy-gauge construction needed to handle high loads in demanding SCL header applications without sacrificing rigidity or durability
• Precision-located hole placement - holes are specifically positioned to prevent degradation of the header caused by lamination splitting, protecting the structural integrity of the composite lumber over the life of the installation
• Funnel Flange design - guides the beam into position during installation, reducing time and physical effort on the job site while maintaining full structural integrity
• Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish - provides a consistent, finished appearance and baseline corrosion resistance, with an optional hot-dip galvanized finish available for environments with greater exposure concerns
• Engineered specifically for SCL header applications - purpose-built for structural composite lumber rather than general-purpose framing, ensuring the connector is matched to the performance demands of the material it supports

Why This Product

• Built for the demands of engineered lumber - unlike general framing hangers, this connector is designed from the ground up for structural composite lumber header applications that require high load capacity, so the hardware is properly matched to the material
• Protects the header, not just the connection - the precision hole placement actively prevents lamination splitting in the header itself, reducing the risk of long-term structural degradation at one of the most load-critical points in the assembly
• Speeds up beam installation without cutting corners - the Funnel Flange design makes seating the beam faster and more straightforward in the field, helping crews maintain pace on the job without trading away structural performance
• Finish flexibility for different project conditions - the standard Simpson gray paint finish suits typical interior framing environments, and a hot-dip galvanized option is available for projects where added corrosion resistance is a priority

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of lumber is the HGLTV7.37/14 designed for?

The HGLTV7.37/14 is designed specifically for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications that require high load capacity. It is not a general-purpose joist hanger but rather engineered for demanding SCL header installations.

How does the hole placement on this hanger help protect the header?

The holes on the HGLTV7.37/14 are precision-located to prevent degradation of the header caused by splitting of the laminations. This intentional placement helps maintain the structural integrity of the engineered lumber header over time.

What gauge steel is used in the construction of this hanger?

The HGLTV7.37/14 features a heavy-duty combination of a 3-gauge steel top flange paired with a 7-gauge steel stirrup, providing superior strength for high-load structural applications.

What finish options are available for the HGLTV7.37/14, and where is it manufactured?

The HGLTV7.37/14 comes standard with a factory-applied Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish that provides corrosion resistance in standard interior applications. A hot-dip galvanized finish is also available for enhanced corrosion protection in more demanding environments. The hanger is manufactured in the United States.
