GLTV/HGLTV Heavy Duty Hangers

GLTV and HGLTV hangers are designed for use with structural composite lumber header applications that require high loads. The top flange nails are sized and specifically located to prevent degradation of the header due to splitting of laminations.

For heavy loads with a face-mount application, see the HGUS and GU series.

Material: Top flange - 3 gauge; Stirrups - 7 gauge

Finish: Simpson Strong-Tie® gray paint; HDG available. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie.

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table.
This series may be used for weld-on applications. Minimum required weld is a 3/16" x 2 1/2" fillet weld at each end of the top flange for GLTV, and a 1/4" x 2 1/2" fillet weld at each end of the top flange for HGLTV, see weld information. Weld-on applications produce maximum loads listed. For uplift loads refer to T-WELDUPLFT.
Web stiffeners are required with I-joists using this hanger style.
GLTV hangers may be attached to a 4x nailer and achieve full table loads or they can be installed to a double 2x nailer or a 3x nailer with 16dx2 1/2" nails and achieve 0.84 of the published loads. HGLTV hangers should not be attached to nailers. GLTV or HGLTV hangers may be installed on ledgers provided the ledgers are made of 4x solid sawn or 3 1/2" SCL shown in the table below. Thinner lumber must be evaluated by the building Designer.

Options:

Hot-dipped galvanized: specify HDG.
See Hanger Options. Saddle hanger versions are available in some engineered wood sizes.
Joining multiple plies.

Uplift loads have been increased 60% for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed. For normal loading applications such as cantilever construction refer to Simpson Strong-Tie® Connector Selector™ software or conservatively divide the uplift load by 1.6.
Uplift loads only apply when "H" is 28" or less.
For hanger heights exceeding the joist height, the allowable load is 0.50 of the table load.
HGLTV at maximum allowable load may have greater than 1/8" deflection.
Applies to LVL headers made primarily from Douglas Fir or Southern Pine. For LVL made primarily from Spruce Pine Fir or similar less dense veneers, use the values found in the SPF/HF column.
NAILS: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3 1/2" long. See other nail sizes and information.
