Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of structural members is the THGWV5.50/9 designed to support?
- This hanger is specifically designed for installing multi-ply girder trusses. The carrying member must be a minimum two-ply girder truss to allow for required minimum screw penetration.
- What is the maximum bottom chord size allowed in the carrying member?
- The maximum bottom chord in the carrying member is 11-7/8 inches to allow for the minimum required bolt end distance.
- Are there specific requirements for bolt installation on the backplate?
- Yes. Bolts must be installed symmetrically when fewer than the maximum number of bolts are used on the backplate to ensure proper load distribution and structural integrity.
- Is lateral bracing required for girders installed with this hanger?
- Yes. Girders must have adequate lateral bracing to prevent excessive displacement due to secondary torsional stresses, as referenced in ANSI/TPI 1-2014 Section 7.5.3.5. Additionally, all multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit.
