The Simpson Strong-Tie HGLTV Top-Flange Hanger is a high-capacity solution for connecting engineered wood members to supporting beams. Engineered specifically for solid sawn lumber and structural composite lumber (SCL) like LVL, PSL, and LSL, this hanger delivers exceptional strength and stiffness where performance matters most.

Its heavy-gauge steel construction and precision-formed top flange allow for a tight fit and enhanced bearing, while the Strong-Tie design helps reduce joist rotation under load. Whether you're framing a floor system or building a heavy-duty deck, the HGLTV ensures your connections stay solid and reliable.

Features:

• High Load Capacity: Engineered to support heavy structural loads in demanding applications.
• Engineered Lumber Compatibility: Ideal for use with LVL, PSL, LSL, and other SCL materials.
• Strong, Secure Fit: Reduces joist rotation for enhanced structural integrity.
• Top-Flange Mounting: Designed for installation on supporting beams and ledgers.
• Code Compliant: Meets industry performance standards for structural connectors.

Installation:

• Requires the use of Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws or nails as specified.
• Fasteners must be installed into all designated holes for full load capacity.
• Verify all installations meet applicable building codes and engineered plans.
• Hanger must be installed flush with the header to ensure proper bearing and alignment.
• Not designed for skewed or sloped applications.

Applications:

• Floor Joists: Provides stable, load-bearing support for SCL joists in residential and commercial flooring systems.
• Deck Framing: Reinforces beam-to-joist connections for heavy-duty decks with engineered lumber.
• Multi-Ply Beams: Connects SCL or LVL headers and girders in beam construction.
• Commercial Wood Construction: Supports large spans and engineered wood framing in commercial builds.
• Garage and Basement Framing: Offers a high-capacity option for long joist runs or point-loaded conditions.

NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values
