SCBH3X15.37W-KT Concealed Beam Hanger

The SCBH concealed beam hanger matches the beam-to-column download capacity of the ACBH^™ while increasing the ability to deform when subjected to joint rotation due to seismic forces and inter-story drift. This combination makes the SCBH ideal for use at glulam beam-to-column connections in high-seismic regions. This hanger installs easily in the factory using our fully threaded Strong-Drive^® SDCF Timber-CF structural screws and offers generous onsite fit-up tolerance for smooth and easy beam installation.

A second backplate option is available for specifiers connecting glulam beams to steel supporting structures (e.g., steel columns, steel embed plates in concrete walls). The SCBH-W backplate is welded to the steel support and mated with a standard SCBH backplate that is attached to the end grain of a glulam beam.
