W/WPU/WNP/WM/WMU/HW/HWU/GLT/HGLT

The W, WPU, HWU and HW series purlin hangers offer the greatest design flexibility and versatility. WMs are designed for use on standard 8" grouted masonry block wall construction.

Material: See tables.

Finish: Simpson gray paint; hot-dipped galvanized available: specify HDG, contact Simpson.

Allowable Loads: For hanger heights exceeding the joist height, the allowable load is 0.50 of the table load.

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners. WM - two 16d duplex nails must be installed into the top flange and embedded into the grouted wall. Verify that the grouted wall can take the required fasteners specified in the table.
Hangers may be welded to steel headers with weld size to match material thickness (approximate thickness shown) 1/8" for W, 3/16" for WNP/WPU, and 1/4" for HW/HWU, by 1 1/2" fillet welds located at each end of the top flange (see welding information). Weld-on applications produce maximum allowable load listed. For uplift loads refer to T-WELDUPLFT (HWU and WPU hangers only).
Hangers can support multiple-ply carried members; the individual members must be secured together to work as a single unit before installation into the hanger.
H dimensions are sized to account for normal joist shrinkage. W dimensions are for dressed timber widths.
Embed WM into block with a minimum of one course above and one course below the top flange with one #5 vertical rebar minimum 24" long in each cell. Minimum grout strength is 2000 psi.
Refer to T-SLOPEJST for information regarding load reductions on selected hangers which can be used without modification to support joists which have shallow slopes (≤3/4:12).
See Hanger Options for hanger modifications and associated load reductions.

Some model configurations may differ from those shown.
Contact factory for details.

The table indicates the maximum allowable loads for W, WNP and HW hangers used on wood nailers. Nailers are wood members attached to the top of a steel I-beam, concrete or masonry wall. This table also applies to sloped-seat hangers.

Table

Uplift value for the HWU hanger is for depths ≤18". Refer to uplift values in table below for taller depths.
Attachment of nailer to supporting member is the responsibility of the Designer.

16d sinkers (0.148" dia. x 3 1/4" long) may be used where 10d commons are called out with no load reduction.
Code values are based on DF/SP header species.
WMU, WPU and HWU uplift loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading; no further increase allowed. Divide (133 & 160) by 1.33 for normal loading like cantilever construction.
NAILS: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3 1/2" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 1/2 = 0.148" dia. x 1 1/2" long. See other nail sizes and information.
Mid-wall installation requires minimum of one grouted course above and below the hanger.
