Frequently Asked Questions

What type of lumber is the HGLTV7.12/22 designed for?

This hanger is designed specifically for structural composite lumber (SCL) header applications. It is engineered to handle high load performance demands associated with engineered lumber installations, making it suitable for heavy-duty SCL header connections.

How does this hanger help protect the header during installation?

The hole placement on the HGLTV7.12/22 is precisely located to prevent lamination splitting in the header. This is a critical design detail in high-load SCL applications where degradation caused by splitting could compromise structural integrity.

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

The HGLTV7.12/22 features dual-gauge steel construction, combining a 3-gauge steel top flange with a 7-gauge steel stirrup. It comes with a factory-applied Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish. A hot-dip galvanized finish option is also available for applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance.

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

The Funnel Flange is an innovative Simpson Strong-Tie design feature that simplifies beam installation by guiding the beam into position. This reduces labor time and improves installation accuracy, making the process more efficient in demanding engineered lumber applications.
