The Simpson Strong-Tie HGLTV411.25-2 is a heavy top-flange hanger engineered specifically for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications that demand high load capacity. Designed to cradle double 3-1/2 in. x 11-1/4 in. engineered wood members, this hanger delivers a strong, reliable connection by providing full support underneath the joist, rafter, or beam. Top-flange nail holes are precisely sized and strategically located to prevent degradation of the header caused by splitting of laminations, protecting the integrity of the structural member throughout the life of the connection. The signature Funnel Flange design simplifies beam installation by guiding the member smoothly into position, reducing labor time without sacrificing structural performance. Constructed with a heavy-duty 3-gauge steel top flange and a 7-gauge steel stirrup, the HGLTV411.25-2 is built to handle demanding load conditions in engineered lumber framing systems.
