Typical THGW3 Installation

Typical THGB2 Installation

High capacity, welded hangers for multi-ply girder trusses. The THGB series offers optional installation with Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Drive® screws (SDS), and the bolted THGBH and THGW hangers offer higher design loads. For a lower cost alternative that uses SDS screws instead of bolts and offers high load capacities, see the THGQ/THGQH series.

Material: 3 gauge

Finish:Simpson Strong-Tie® gray paint.

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
All multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit.
Maximum 11 7/8" bottom chord in the carrying member to allow for the minimum bolt end distance.
See screw info.
Bolts must be installed symmetrically when using less than 8 bolts on the 8-bolt backplate.
Girders must be adequately laterally braced to prevent excessive displacement due to secondary torsional stresses (Ref ANSI/TPI 1-2007 Section 7.5.3.5).

Options:

Available in widths for 2-ply, 3-ply, and 4-ply LVL members; refer to flier F-THGBV.
See Hanger Options for THGB/THGBH skew options.

Allowable loads have been increased 60% for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern. A 2-ply minimum truss is required. When using 10-10d nails only for carried member, uplift is 1960 lbs. for Doug-Fir/So. Pine and 1625 lbs. for Spruce-Pine-Fir.
Simpson Strong-Tie SDS 1/4"x3" must have a minimum 2-ply member.
Loads for THGW models are based on end grain bearing.
Minimum fasteners 10-10d will achieve the down loads and the corresponding uplift (see footnote 1). To achieve maximum uplift, install nails and bolts listed in the table.
Wind (160) is a download rating.
To achieve published loads, machine bolts (MB) into the girder truss shall be installed with the nut on the opposite side of the hanger with a standard cut washer (except THGW’s).
NAILS: 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long. See other nail sizes and information.
