LEAD TIME: 3 DAYS

See table. See Hanger Options 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 1/2" net). Not acceptable for nailer applications. Funnel Flanges® allow easy installation of beams.

GLS and HGLS are heavy glulam saddle hangers.

GLST and HGLST Discontinued in 2011

The GLST and HGLST will no longer be available as of Jan 1, 2011. As a replacement, the PCT Purlin Cross Tie used in conjunction with the GLS and HGLS works well to transfer lateral loads directly. Check L1 dimension on PCT for clearance.

Material: All welded GL series glulam hangers have a 3 gauge top flange. See table for stirrup gauge.

Finish: Simpson Strong-Tie® 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 3/16" x 2 1/2" fillet welds at each end of the header angle to obtain the tabulated loads. HGLT may be attached to steel headers by 1/4" x 2 1/2" fillet welds at each end of the header angle to obtain the lesser of the tabulated loads or 12,000 lbs. For uplift loads refer to T-WELDUPLFT. See welding information.

•Not for use with SCL or LVL headers. See GLTV, HGLTV. GLS/HGLS•N54A nails are included with the hangers.

•Loads listed are per stirrup. To Order:•GLS/HGLS - Specify H1, H2, and S dimensions (see illustration).

•Some engineered wood sizes are also available.

Options: •See Hanger Options.

Hanger Options - GLT/HGLT/GLS/HGLS/GLTV/HGLTV See Hanger Options General Notes.

Installation:

•Bevel cut the carried beam for skewed hangers.

Hanger Height:

•For hangers exceeding the joist height by 1/2", allowable load is 50% of the table roof load.

Sloped and/or Skewed Seat:

•GLT/GLTV/HGLT/HGLTV and GLS/HGLS series may be skewed to a maximum of 50° or sloped to a maximum of 45°.

•For skews greater than 15°, multiply the table uplift load by 0.50.

•For sloped only, the maximum allowable load is 6500 lbs. for the GLT/GLS/GLTV, 9165 lbs. for the HGLT/HGLS/HGLTV.

•For skewed only, the maximum allowable load is 6550 lbs. for the GLT/GLS/GLTV, 7980 lbs. for the HGLT/HGLS/HGLTV. The deflection at full loading may reach 1/4".

•Sloped and skewed GLT/GLS/GLTV configurations have a maximum allowable load of 5500 lbs. Sloped and skewed combinations are not allowed for the HGLT/HGLS/HGLTV.

•Sloped and/or skewed seat hangers may not be installed in non-backed nailer/header installations.

Sloped Top Flange:

•A top flange may be sloped down left or down right to 30° with or without a sloped and/or skewed seat (see illustration). Reduce allowable table loads using straight-line interpolation. Example: For a top flange sloped down 30°, reduce load to [(90-30)/90] x table load.

Offset Top Flange:

•The top flange may be offset left or right for placement at the end of a header. Minimum seat width 3 1/4". The maximum allowable load is 0.50 of the table roof load for the GLT/GLS/GLTV, and 0.45 for the HGLT/HGLS/HGLTV.

•For skewed and offset top flange hangers, the maximum allowable load is 3500 lbs.

•No uplift load.
