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.
