The Simpson High Wind Uplift Purlin Hanger is a heavy top-flange hanger engineered to support joists on purlins or beams in both wood frame and cold-formed steel construction. Built to perform where structural demands are highest, this hanger delivers very high uplift and down load design values, making it a reliable choice for high-wind uplift applications where connection integrity is critical.

Key Features

• Heavy top-flange design with high-wind uplift capacity - provides the structural performance needed in demanding wind-load environments, reducing the risk of connection failure under extreme conditions
• Compatible with wood frame and cold-formed steel construction - gives builders and engineers the flexibility to use a single hanger solution across multiple project types without sourcing separate hardware
• Engineered for very high uplift and down load design values - supports projects where standard hangers fall short, allowing engineers to meet strict load requirements with confidence
• Heavy-gauge top flange construction - delivers exceptional structural strength at the bearing point, ensuring the hanger holds up under sustained and peak loading
• Heavy-gauge stirrup construction - provides a rigid, durable cradle for the supported joist, maintaining alignment and connection integrity over the life of the structure
• Simpson gray paint finish - offers a durable protective coating that helps guard against wear during installation and throughout the service life of the connection

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for high-wind uplift conditions - this hanger is specifically engineered for applications where uplift forces are a primary design concern, giving structural professionals a connector they can specify with confidence in hurricane, coastal, or high-wind zone projects
• Dual-construction compatibility - working in both wood frame and cold-formed steel assemblies, this purlin hanger reduces the need to source and stock multiple connector types for mixed-construction projects
• Heavy-gauge material throughout - the combination of a robust top flange and a sturdy stirrup means this hanger is built to handle the demanding load values required by high-performance structural applications, not just typical residential framing
• Made in the United States by Simpson - backed by a trusted name in structural connectors, this hanger meets the quality and consistency standards that contractors and engineers rely on for code-sensitive, load-critical connections
