THGWV Truss Hanger for Girders, Wraparound Design, Bolted
Product Details
The THGWV 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.
Key Features
- Two bucket heights are available to accommodate a range of SCL sizes
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 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

Load Tables
- Allowable loads are based on a SCL (LVL, PSL, or LSL) carried member with an allowable F'c ⊥ of 750 psi and equivalent Specific Gravity of 0.50 or higher.
- Uplift loads have been increased for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed. Reduce where other loads govern.
- A three-ply carrying member is required for the THGWV5.50 /9 and THGWV5.50 /11; a four-ply carrying member is required for the THGWV7.25 /9 and THGWV7.25 /11.
- Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws require a minimum two-ply (3") carrying member.
- Bolts and Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (not included) may be installed through metal truss connector plates as approved by the truss designer, provided the requirements of ANSI/TPI 1-2014, Sections 7.5.3.4 and 8.9.2 are met.
