122 Glulam Beam Connectors TOP FLANGE HANGERS GLS/HGLS/GLT/HGLT Beam Glulam Saddle Hangers See table on page 123. See Hanger Options on page 188 for hanger modifications, which may result in reduced loads. GLT and HGLT accommodate typical structural requirements for timber and glulam beams. GLT top flange depth allows installation on minimum 4x ledger (3 net). Not acceptable for nailer applications. Funnel flanges allow easy installation of beams. GLS and HGLS are heavy glulam saddle hangers. Tested and code-listed seismic tie provisions are added to the GLS or HGLS order GLST or HGLST. The seismic tie models use three extra bolts through each carried member and two bolts through the supporting member. Bolt holes shall be a minimum of to a maximum of larger than the bolt diameter (1997 NDS, sec. 8.1.2.1.). MATERIAL: See table on page 123. FINISH: Simpson gray paint. Hot-dip galvanized available; specify HDG. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. GLT/HGLT All GLTs used with sawn timbers have a 12" L dimension. Fasteners are included. GLT may be attached to steel headers by x 2 fillet welds at each end of the header angle to obtain the tabulated loads. HGLT may be attached to steel headers by x 2 fillet welds at each end of the header angle to obtain the lesser of the tabulated loads or 12,000 lbs. Uplift loads do not apply to this weld-on application. See page 10 for weld information. Not for use with SCL or LVL headers. See GLTV, HGLTV. GLS/HGLS N54A nails are included with the hangers. Seismic Ties: the carried member bolts should be located in the upper half of the x 1 slotted holes. Standard washers must be used with all bolts. Loads listed are per stirrup. TO ORDER: GLS/HGLS Specify H1, H2, and S dimensions (see illustration). OPTIONS: See Hanger Options page 188.

Roof loads are 125% of floor loads unless limited by other criteria. 2. Allowable loads assume a carrying member of 5 ". 3. Specify H dimension. 4. Triangle Theory: Some code jurisdictions allow only half of the top flange bearing area to be calculated when there are no fasteners in the top of hanger. Testing has shown that the LEG/MEG and EG hangers will develop the full bearing area with a reduction factor of 3. EG with H dimension less than the face plate height. The EGs back plate is always 17 ", regardless of the stirrup height. LEG and MEG EG MEG without Top Flange See Hanger Options on page 188 for hanger modifications, which may result in reduced loads. This whole series has precision fabrication which offers dimensional accuracy, and the funnel flanges which aid installation. MATERIAL: See table. FINISH: Simpson gray paint. Hot-dip galvanized available; specify HDG. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. OPTIONS: See Hanger Options, page 188. Models available without top flanges; see table loads.
