The Simpson Strong-Tie THGQ3.62-SDS is a heavy-duty truss hanger engineered specifically for connecting a girder truss or a structural composite lumber beam to a supporting girder truss. Constructed from 7-gauge steel with a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating, this hanger delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and long-term structural integrity. A cost-effective alternative to traditional bolted hangers, the THGQ3.62-SDS leverages included Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws to achieve high load capacities while simplifying the installation process. With a width of 3 5/8 inches and a height of 16 1/16 inches (HB: 10 in.), this hanger accommodates varying design requirements through its flexible minimum and maximum fastener quantity options.
Key Features
-
Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector Screws Included: Pre-supplied screws for all round and triangle holes help efficiently transfer load between the plies of the supporting girder when they fully penetrate all plies.
-
High Load Capacity: Increased allowable loads are available when a wider vertical web is used, giving engineers and contractors added design flexibility.
-
Cost-Effective Alternative to Bolted Hangers: The THGQ design replaces traditional bolted hanger connections with screw-driven fastening, reducing both material costs and installation complexity.
-
Flexible Fastener Quantities: Minimum and maximum fastener quantity options allow the hanger to accommodate a wide range of design load requirements.
-
Durable Zinc Galvanized G90 Finish: The G90 coating provides robust protection against corrosion in standard construction environments.
-
7-Gauge Steel Construction: Heavy-gauge steel ensures structural reliability and consistent performance under demanding load conditions.
-
Made in the United States: Manufactured domestically to exacting quality standards.
