Simpson Strong-Tie THGWV5.50/11 Truss Hanger for Girders, Wraparound Design, Bolted

The THGWV Truss Hanger for Girders, Wraparound Design, Bolted is an extra-high-capacity, bolted hanger designed for installing multi-ply girder trusses. This welded hanger attaches to a vertical web and features a unique wraparound shape that supports higher loads with a double-shear design.

Features

Two bucket heights are available to accommodate a range of SCL sizes.

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 fewer than the maximum number of bolts are used on the backplate.

Girders must have adequate lateral bracing to prevent excessive displacement due to secondary torsional stresses (refer to ANSI/TPI 1-2014 Section 7.5.3.5). Carrying member must be a minimum two-ply girder truss to allow for required minimum screw penetration.

NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values
