THGBV/THGBHV/THGWV Truss Girder Hangers

An extension of the THGB/THGBH/THGW series, these high-capacity hangers are designed for attaching 2-ply, 3-ply or 4-ply sized structural composite lumber (SCL) to a girder truss. The THGBV offers optional installation with Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Drive® screws (SDS), while the bolted THGBHV and THGWV offer higher load capacities. Two bucket heights are available for each width to accommodate a range of SCL sizes. Options for skewing or dropping the buckets for conditions where the SCL joist is lower than the girder bottom chord provide additional design flexibility for a variety of SCL-to-truss connections.

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.
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:

See Hanger Options for hanger modifications and associated load reductions.

Allowable loads are based on a SCL (LVL, PSL or LSL) carried member with an allowable F'_c ⊥ of 750 psi and equivalent Specific Gravity of 0.50 or higher.
Uplift loads have been increased for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed. Reduce where other loads govern.
A 3-ply carrying member is required for the THGWV5.50/9 and THGWV5.50/11; a 4-ply carrying member is required for the THGWV7.25/9 and THGWV7.25/11. For all other models, a minimum 2-ply carrying member is required.
Bolts and Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive screws are permitted to be installed through metal truss connector plates as approved by the Truss Designer, provided the requirements of ANSI/TPI 1-2007 Sections 7.5.3.4 and 8.9.2 are met.
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 THGWV's).
NAILS: 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long. See other nail sizes and information.
