Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of lumber members is the THGBHV5.50/9 designed to support?
- The THGBHV5.50/9 is specifically designed for use with multi-ply structural composite lumber (SCL) members, making it the appropriate choice for engineered lumber framing applications that require a high-capacity connection to a girder truss.
- How does this hanger attach to the girder truss?
- This hanger attaches directly to a vertical web of the girder truss, providing superior load transfer at the connection point. It is a bolted hanger, meaning bolted fastening is used to achieve its high-capacity load-bearing performance.
- What joist size and gauge is the THGBHV5.50/9 rated for?
- The THGBHV5.50/9 is sized for a joist width of 5-1/2 in. with an HB measurement of 9 in., accommodating joist sizes from 5-1/4 x 9-1/4 up to 14. The hanger itself is constructed from heavy 3-gauge steel for exceptional structural integrity.
- Does this hanger offer any flexibility for non-standard framing configurations?
- Yes. The THGBHV5.50/9 features buckets that can be skewed or dropped, allowing the hanger to accommodate varied connection geometries and design requirements. This makes it suitable for complex framing configurations where a standard square connection is not possible.
