120 Glulam Beam Connectors LGU/MGU/HGU/HHGU High Capacity Girder Hangers NEW! The GU hangers are a high-capacity girder hangers designed for situations where the header and joist are flush at top. This part can be used for retrofit on the framing members after they are temporarily placed in position. It uses Simpson Strong-Drive screws (SDS) to make installation fast and easy, with no pre-drilling required. MATERIAL: See table. FINISH: Galvanized. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Install with Simpsons SDS x2 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. OPTIONS: Not available. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

Uplift loads have been increased for earthquake and wind loading, with no further increase allowed. 2. Specify H dimension. The Designer should check the shear capacity of the carried member to make sure it matches the hangers capacity. Maximum H 30". 3. Minimum header is based on the size necessary to fit screw pattern. Use the next size up that meets the minimum depth requirement.
