102 Engineered Wood Structural Composite Lumber Connectors GLTV/HGLTV Heavy Duty Hangers EGQ High Capacity Hanger This product is preferable to similar connectors because of a) easier installation, b) higher loads, c) lower installed cost, or a combination of these features. SIMPSON Strong-Tie GLTV and HGLTV hangers are designed for use with structural composite lumber headers, and may take heavy loads. The top flange nails are sized and specifically located to prevent degradation of the header due to splitting of laminations. For heavy loads with a face-mount application, see the HGUS series. MATERIAL: Top flange 3 gauge; Stirrups 7 gauge FINISH: Simpson gray paint ALLOWABLE LOADS: For hanger heights exceeding the joist height, the allowable load is 0.50 of the table load. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table. This series may be used for weld-on applications. Minimum required weld is a x 2 fillet weld at each end of the top flange for GLTV, and a x 2 fillet weld at each end of the top flange for HGLTV, see page 10 for weld information. Weld-on applications produce maximum loads listed. Uplift loads do not apply to this application. Web stiffeners are required with I-joists using this hanger style. GLTV may be installed on a nailer and ledger; HGLTV may be installed on a ledger only. Nailers and ledgers must be a minimum of 4x lumber to guarantee the load values given in the tables. Thinner lumber or laminated veneer lumber used as a nailer must be evaluated by the building designer. OPTIONS: Hot-dipped galvanized: specify HDG. See Hanger Options, page 188. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart. EGQ hanger is a high capacity top flange connector designed for use with Structural Composite Lumber beams. It utilizes Simpson Strong-Drive screws to make installation fast and easy with no drilling required. Available in standard SCL widths and made to specified heights. SDS screws are included. MATERIAL: Top flange 3 gauge; Stirrups 7 gauge FINISH: Simpson gray paint INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Install with Simpson SDS1/4x3 wood screws, which are provided with the EGQ. (Lag screws will not achieve the same load.) All multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit. Multiple member headers may require additional fasteners at hanger locations. Quantity and location to be determined by designer. See SDS section for additional information, and SDS screws applications. OPTIONS: No modification available. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

Uplift loads have been increased 33% and 60% for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed. Divide by 1.33 and 1.60 for normal loading such as in cantilever construction. 2. Uplift loads only apply when H is 28" or less. 3. If header is multiple plies of 1 ", the PSL allowable load is 6000 lbs. 1. Loads are based on 750 psi wood bearing for SCL. 2. Min H is the minimum H dimension that may be specified. 3. Uplift loads have been increased 33% and 60% for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed. Divide by 1.33 and 1.60 for normal loading such as in cantilever construction. 4. HGLTV at maximum allowable load may have greater than deflection. 5. Applies to LVL headers made primarily from Douglas Fir or Southern Pine. For LVL made primarily from Spruce Pine Fir or similar less dense veneers, use the values found in the SPF column. 6.
