LGU/MGU/HGU/HHGU High Capacity Girder Hangers

The GU hangers are a high-capacity girder hangers designed for situations where the header and joist are flush at top. This part can be used for retrofit on the framing members after they are temporarily placed in position. It uses Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive screws (SDS) to make installation fast and easy, with no pre-drilling required.

Material: See table.

Finish: Galvanized. HHGU - Simpson Strong-Tie® gray paint.

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
Install with Simpson's SDS1/4"x2 1/2" screws, which are provided with the GU's. (Note: lag screws will not achieve the same loads.)
All multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit.
Multiple member headers may require additional fasteners at the hanger locations. The quantity and location of the additional fasteners must be determined by the Designer.

Options:

Hot-dipped galvanized available. Order as "X" version, specify HDG.
Other seat widths available. Order as "X" version, specify width.
See Hanger Options, for one flange concealed option (all models except MGU3.63).
