The Simpson Strong-Tie HGLTV420-2 is a heavy-duty, double top-flange hanger engineered for high-load structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications. Built from robust steel and finished with Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint, this hanger delivers reliable performance in demanding structural connections. Its innovative Funnel Flange design and precision-located fastener holes work together to protect the integrity of engineered lumber headers while simplifying installation on the jobsite.

Key Features

• High-Load SCL Performance: Specifically designed for structural composite lumber header applications that demand high load capacity, ensuring structural integrity in critical connections.
• Split-Prevention Hole Placement: Fastener holes are precisely located to prevent degradation of the header caused by splitting of laminations, preserving the strength of engineered lumber.
• Funnel Flange Design: The Funnel Flange geometry guides beams into position easily, reducing installation time and improving accuracy during framing.
• Heavy-Duty Top-Flange Construction: Features a 3-gauge steel top flange paired with a 7-gauge steel stirrup for exceptional load-bearing strength and long-term durability.
• Double Configuration: The double hanger format accommodates a 3-1/2 x 20 beam profile, ideal for engineered lumber assemblies requiring paired support.
• Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint Finish: Factory-applied gray paint provides a protective coating suited for standard interior and protected structural environments.
• Hot-Dip Galvanized Option Available: Can be ordered in a hot-dip galvanized finish for applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance.
• Made in the USA: Manufactured in the United States for consistent quality and compliance with North American building standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of lumber is the HGLTV420-2 designed to support?

The HGLTV420-2 is specifically engineered for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications. It is designed to handle the high-load demands of engineered lumber assemblies, making it suitable for critical structural connections where standard hangers may not provide adequate capacity.

What beam size does this hanger accommodate?

This hanger is configured to accommodate a 3-1/2 x 20 beam profile. Its double configuration is designed to provide paired support for engineered lumber assemblies of that specific size.

What materials and gauges are used in the construction of this hanger?

The HGLTV420-2 features a heavy-duty construction combining a 3-gauge steel top flange with a 7-gauge steel stirrup. The hanger is finished with a factory-applied Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint coating, which provides protection suited for standard interior and protected structural environments.

How does the fastener hole placement help protect engineered lumber headers?

The fastener holes are precisely located to prevent splitting of laminations within the engineered lumber header. This split-prevention hole placement preserves the structural strength of the header by avoiding fastener placement in areas that could cause degradation or separation of the laminated material.
