Key Features
- SDS screws and Titen HD anchors included
- LGUM-series hangers are tested, load rated and code compliant
- Uplift loads have been increased for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed
Material
- 12 ga.
Finish

Installation
- Use all specified fasteners (included). Stainless steel models are packaged with 1" longer Type 316 stainless-steel Titen HD anchors.
- Attach hanger to a concrete or grout-filled CMU wall using Titen HD anchors. Note the following:
— Drill holes using drill bits equal in diameter to the specified Titen HD anchor.
— Holes shall be drilled 1/2" deeper than the specified Titen HD length (e.g., 4 1/2" for a 4"-long Titen HD anchor). For stainless-steel LGUM models installed onto 6"-thick concrete or GFCMU, care should be taken to avoid damage to the back side of the wall when drilling and installing 5" long stainless-steel Titen HD anchors
— Caution: Oversized holes in the base material will reduce or eliminate the mechanical interlock of the threads with the base material and will reduce the anchor's load capacity. - The carbon-steel Titen HD is not recommended for exposed exterior applications.
- Provide moisture barrier between beam and wall per jurisdictional requirements.
Options
- Available in skews up to 45°. See table for reduced loads.
