EG Heavy Beam and Glulam Top-Flange Hanger
Product Details
The EG hanger is a high-capacity connector designed to support engineered wood beams. This heavy 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 EG hanger has one of the highest allowable loads among all Simpson Strong-Tie® hangers.
Key Features
- May be skewed or sloped up to 45°
- Funnel Flange™ design guides the beam into place
- Hanger installs with machine bolts (not supplied)
Finish
- Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint. Some products available hot-dip galvanized or special ordered in black powder coat.
Material
- Stirrup — 7 gauge; Top Flange — 3 gauge
Installation
- Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes
- Maintain minimum 4D end distance and edge distance from bolt to end of header and nearest loaded edge per NDS requirements
Options
- Skewed Seat — Top-Flange Models Only
o The EG can be skewed up to 45°. The maximum allowable load is 14,250 lb.
- Sloped Seat — Top-Flange Models Only
o The EG can be sloped up to 45°. The maximum allowable load is 9,665 lb.; see illustration.
- No Sloped and Skewed Combo Available

- 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.
