LEGPC Beam and Glulam Top-Flange Hanger
Product Details
The Indoor Architectural Products LEGPC is an ornamental connector for indoor applications designed to support engineered wood beams for lower-load applications. This light end beam and glulam hanger has top flanges to capture the top chord of the beam to prevent rotation, but can be ordered without them depending on application needs. The LEGPC is part of our Classic Collection, featuring modern smooth edges and clean lines. Along with its black powder-coat finish, the LEGPC is ideal for projects where the connectors are visible.
Key Features
- May be skewed or sloped up to 45°
- When not skewed, may be offset left or right for placement at the end of a header
- Funnel Flange™ design guides the beam into place
- Hanger installs with machine bolts (not supplied)
Finish
- Black powder coat
Material
- Top flange — 7 gauge; stirrups — 7 gauge
Installation
- Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes
Options
- Non-ornamental alternative: LEG

- Roof loads are 125% of floor loads unless limited by other criteria. Floor loads may be adjusted for load durations according to the code provided they do not exceed those in the roof column.
- Allowable loads assume a carrying member width of 5 1/8".
- Specify H dimension.
- Triangle Theory: Some code jurisdictions allow only half of the top-flange bearing area to be considered when performing a top-flange hanger calculation, as there is non-uniform stress under the top flange (presumed to be a triangular-shaped distribution). Therefore, loads are published above using the calculated "Triangle Theory." Loads are also published in the "No Triangle Theory" columns, which are based on calculations assuming full bearing on the top flange which do not exceed the tested value with a reduction factor of 3.
- For LEG PCwithout a top flange, specify "No TF." For example, LEG3PCNOTFPC.
- All references to bolts are for structural-quality through bolts (not lag screws or carriage bolts) equal to or better than ASTM A307, Grade A.
