Product Description
The Simpson THGQ3-SDS4.5 is a heavy-duty girder truss hanger engineered for multi-ply girder truss applications. As a lower-cost alternative to bolted hangers, the THGQ series uses Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws to deliver high load capacities with easier installation compared to traditional bolt-based systems. The included Strong-Drive SDS screws penetrate all plies of the supporting girder to effectively transfer loads between plies. Built from 7-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this hanger is designed for durability and corrosion resistance. With a 4-15/16 in. seat width and 16 in. height, the THGQ3-SDS4.5 offers flexible fastener quantity options - minimum or maximum - to accommodate a range of structural design requirements.
