Typical THGW3 Installation

Typical THGB2 Installation

High capacity, welded hangers for multi-ply girder trusses. The THGB series offers optional installation with Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Drive® screws (SDS), and the bolted THGBH and THGW hangers offer higher design loads. For a lower cost alternative that uses SDS screws instead of bolts and offers high load capacities, see the THGQ/THGQH series.

Material: 3 gauge

Finish:Simpson Strong-Tie® gray paint.

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
All multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit.
Maximum 11 7/8" bottom chord in the carrying member to allow for the minimum bolt end distance.
Bolts must be installed symmetrically when using less than 8 bolts on the 8-bolt backplate.
Girders must be adequately laterally braced to prevent excessive displacement due to secondary torsional stresses (Ref. ANSI/TPI 1-2007 Section 7.5.3.5).

Options:

See Hanger Options for THGB/THGBH skew options.

Uplift loads have been increased for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern.
A 3-ply carrying member is required for the THGW3-3 and THGW4-3; a 4-ply carrying member is required for the THGW3-4 and THGW4-4. For all other models, a minimum 2-ply carrying member is required.
Bolts and Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong Drive® screws are permitted to be installed through metal truss connector plates as approved by the Truss Designer, provided the requirements of ANSI/TPI 1-2007 Sections 7.5.3.4 and 8.9.2 are met.
10-10d nails for the carried member will achieve the maximum down loads. Uplift loads are 2570 lbs. for DF/SP and 2210 lbs. for SPF/HF. To achieve maximum uplift, install nails and bolts listed in the table.
Loads for THGW models are based on end grain bearing.
Wind (160) is a download rating.
To achieve published loads, machine bolts (MB) into the girder truss shall be installed with the nut on the opposite side of the hanger with a standard cut washer (except THGW's).
NAILS: 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long. See other nail sizes and information.
