Product Description
The Simpson THGQ5.50-SDS Truss Hanger for Girders is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered for girder truss applications and structural composite lumber beams attached to a girder truss. Built to 7-gauge steel and finished with a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating, this hanger delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and structural integrity. A cost-effective alternative to traditional bolted hangers, the THGQ5.50-SDS leverages Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws - included with the hanger - to achieve high load capacities while simplifying installation. With a width of 51/2 inches and a height of 171/4 inches, this hanger accommodates a range of structural 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 ensure the correct fasteners are always on hand
- Load transfer through all plies - Strong-Drive SDS screws penetrate all plies of the supporting girder to help efficiently transfer loads between plies
- Flexible fastener quantities - minimum and maximum fastener quantity options accommodate varying structural design needs
- Increased allowable loads - higher load values are available when a wider vertical web is used
- Lower-cost alternative to bolted hangers - screw-based installation reduces hardware costs without sacrificing performance
- Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - provides reliable corrosion resistance for long-term durability
- Heavy 7-gauge steel construction - delivers the structural strength required for demanding girder truss applications
- Made in the United States - manufactured to Simpson Strong-Tie's rigorous quality standards

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of fasteners does the THGQ5.50-SDS use?
- The THGQ5.50-SDS uses Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, which are included with the hanger. These screws are supplied for all round and triangle holes on the connector.
- How do the SDS screws contribute to load performance?
- When the Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws penetrate all plies of the supporting girder, they help transfer the load between the plies, contributing to the hanger's high load capacity ratings.
- Can the THGQ5.50-SDS be used for structural composite lumber beams?
- Yes. The THGQ is designed for a girder truss or a structural composite lumber beam attached to a girder truss, making it suitable for both applications.
- Are higher load values possible with this hanger?
- Yes. Increased allowable loads are available when a wider vertical web is used, giving designers flexibility to optimize structural performance for their specific project requirements.
