Product Overview
HWPH3.56/12 High-Wind Purlin Heavy Hanger
The HWPH is designed to support joists on purlins or beams in both wood and cold-formed steel construction. This heavy top-flange hanger has enhanced uplift and is ideal for high-wind applications. The HWPH offers design flexibility and versatility that provides very high uplifts and down loads.
Key Features
- Modifiable with alteration options including opened/closed top-flange and offset top-flange
- Top flange may be sloped to a maximum of 35° to accommodate a sloped header
- Features a solid one-piece top flange that provides extra stability in panelized roof applications
- Available with a sloped and/or skewed seat up to 45°
Material
- 3-gauge top flange and 7-gauge stirrup
Finish
- Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint. Hot-dip galvanized available; specify HDG.
Installation
- Use all specified fasteners.
- H dimensions are sized to account for normal joist shrinkage. W dimensions are for dressed timber widths.
- The HWPH may be used for weld-on applications. The minimum-size weld is a 1 1/2"-long fillet weld to each side of the top flange; weld size to match hanger material thickness. See General Instructions for the Installer, note k for weld information. Weld-on applications have the maximum allowable capacity listed. Uplift loads do not apply to this application. For additional load information, refer to technical bulletin Top-Flange Hangers Welded to Structural Steel Members (T-C-WELDUPLFT).
- Hangers can support multi-ply carried members; the individual members must be secured together to work as a single unit before installation into the hanger.
- Non-modified hangers can support joists sloped up to 1/4:12 using table loads. For joists sloping between 1/4:12 and 3/4:12 use 85% of the table loads. See technical bulletin Sloped Joist in Non-Sloped Hangers (T-C-SLOPEJST).
- If joist is shorter than hanger by more than 1/2" use only 50% of the table loads.
- Web stiffeners are required for these hangers when using engineered wood.
- For attaching to multi-ply headers in engineered wood applications, refer to technical bulletin Top-Flange Hanger Reductions for Multiple-Ply Headers (T-C-MPLYHEADR).
