Product Overview
LGU3.63-SDS High Capacity Girder Hanger
The LGU is a girder hanger designed for use with Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws to make installation fast and easy, without predrilling. This face-mount hanger can be used for retrofit on the framing members after they are temporarily placed in position. The LGU is available skewed up to 45 or with one flange concealed.
Key Features
Available in many sizes for glulam or structural composite lumber LGU-series hangers are fire-resistant F (flame) and T (temperature) rated in Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01
Material - 10 gauge
Finish - Galvanized. Some models available in HDG; see Corrosion Information.
Installation
Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
Install with 1/4" x 2 1/2" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, which are provided with the GU series. (Note: lag screws will not achieve the same loads.)
Alternatively, the 1/4" x 2 1/2" Strong-Drive SDS face screws supplied with these hangers may be replaced with 1/4" x 3 1/2" SDS or 1/4" x 5" SDS screws for two-ply or three-ply LVL headers to transfer the hanger load to all plies. This alternate fastener option does not eliminate the need for uniform fastener requirements along the length of the multi-ply header.
All multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit.
Multiple member headers may require additional fasteners at the hanger locations. The quantity and location of the additional fasteners must be determined by the designer.
