The Simpson Strong-Tie HGLTV412-2 is a heavy-duty, double top-flange hanger engineered specifically for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications demanding exceptional load capacity. Fabricated with a robust combination of 3-gauge steel on the top flange and 7-gauge steel on the stirrup, this hanger delivers the structural integrity required for high-load engineered lumber installations. The innovative Funnel Flange design streamlines beam installation, while strategically positioned fastener holes work to prevent lamination splitting and preserve the long-term integrity of the header. Finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint and made in the United States, the HGLTV412-2 is a precision-engineered solution for demanding structural framing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of lumber is the HGLTV412-2 designed to work with?

The HGLTV412-2 is specifically engineered for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications. It is designed to accommodate 3-1/2 x 12 engineered lumber members in a double hanger configuration.

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

This hanger uses a dual-gauge steel construction. The top flange is fabricated from 3-gauge steel, while the stirrup is made from 7-gauge steel, combining strength and rigidity for high-load applications.

What is the Funnel Flange design and how does it help during installation?

The Funnel Flange design is an engineering feature built into the HGLTV412-2 that facilitates easy and efficient beam installation, reducing the time and effort required to seat the beam into the hanger during framing.

How does the fastener hole placement protect the header?

The fastener holes on the HGLTV412-2 are strategically positioned to prevent lamination splitting, helping to preserve the structural integrity and long-term performance of the SCL header over time.
