| Information on this page has been updated since the printing of the C-2008 catalog. To view the specific changes made to this page in detail, visit the Catalog Errata page. |
The LGT, MGT, VGT and HGT are girder tiedowns for moderate to high load capacity applications. The LGT and VGT are also suitable for retrofit applications.
LGT connectors provide a low profile connection to the studs for easy installation of drywall. Simple to install and can be installed on the inside or outside of the wall. LGT connectors also provide exceptional bearing enhancement for heavy download applications. NEW! The LGT series has been extended to include the new LGT4-SDS3 for 4-ply girders.
The Variable Girder Tiedown (VGT) is a higher capacity alternative to the LGT and MGT for girder trusses. It attaches with SDS screws to the side of truss and features a predeflected crescent washer that allows it to accommodate top chord pitches up to 8:12. The VGT is also available with one flange concealed for attachment to trusses with no tail.
The HGT offers the highest uplift capacity for girders and can be installed on trusses and beams with top chord slopes from 3:12 to 8:12.
