The Simpson Strong-Tie HGLTV414-2 is a Double 3-1/2 x 14 Heavy Top-Flange Hanger engineered specifically for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications demanding high load capacity. Built with a robust combination of 3-gauge steel in the top flange and 7-gauge steel in the stirrup, this hanger delivers exceptional strength and rigidity where it matters most. The thoughtfully engineered hole placement actively prevents degradation of the header by minimizing the risk of lamination splitting, while the Funnel Flange design streamlines beam installation for a faster, more accurate fit on the job site.

Key Features

• High-Load SCL Header Performance: Specifically designed for structural composite lumber header applications requiring elevated load capacities.
• Split-Resistant Hole Placement: Holes are strategically located to prevent degradation of the header caused by splitting of laminations.
• Funnel Flange Design: Facilitates easy, accurate installation of beams, reducing installation time and effort.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Features a 3-gauge steel top flange paired with a 7-gauge steel stirrup for maximum structural integrity.
• Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint Finish: Provides corrosion resistance and a clean, professional appearance straight out of the box.
• Hot-Dip Galvanized Option Available: Can be ordered in a hot-dip galvanized finish for enhanced corrosion protection in demanding environments.
• Made in the USA: Manufactured domestically to exacting quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of lumber is the HGLTV414-2 designed for?

The HGLTV414-2 is specifically engineered for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications that require high load capacity. It is not a general-purpose hanger but rather purpose-built to perform reliably with SCL materials.

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

This hanger features a heavy-duty dual-gauge construction: the top flange is made from 3-gauge steel, while the stirrup is made from 7-gauge steel. This combination provides maximum structural integrity and rigidity for demanding header applications.

Is a corrosion-resistant finish available for use in wet or demanding environments?

Yes. While the standard hanger comes with a Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish that provides corrosion resistance, a hot-dip galvanized finish option is also available for enhanced protection in environments where greater corrosion resistance is required.

How does the design of this hanger help protect the header during installation?

The hanger features strategically placed holes that minimize the risk of lamination splitting, which helps prevent degradation of the SCL header. Additionally, the Funnel Flange design guides the beam into accurate placement during installation, reducing the chance of misalignment and speeding up the installation process.
