High-Capacity Girder Hangers
The GU hangers are high-capacity girder hangers designed for situations where the header and joist are flush at the top. These products can be used for retrofit on the framing members after they are temporarily placed in position. Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Drive® screws (SDS) make installation fast and easy, with no pre-drilling required. MATERIAL: See table FINISH: Galvanized, HHGU—Simpson Strong-Tie ® gray paint. Available in hot-dip galvanized, order as “X” version and specify HDG. INSTALLATION: • Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. • Install with Simpson Strong-Tie SDS 1⁄4"x2 1⁄2" screws, which are provided with the GUs. (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. • For installation to concrete or masonry walls, see LGUM and HGUM hangers page 162. OPTIONS: • Other seat widths available. Order as “X” version, specify width. • See Hanger Options, pages 216-217, for one flange concealed option. MGU with W 4" or less and HGU with W 4 11⁄16" or less cannot be concealed. • LGU, MGU and HGU hangers may be skewed up to 45°. See page 224. CODES: See page 13 for Code Reference Key Chart.
