The GLS is designed to accommodate high allowable loads for timber and glulam beams. This glulam hanger features a saddle design that eliminates the need for back-to-back hanger installation, while the Funnel Flange™ feature allows for easy installation of beams. The GLS installs with heavy N54 ring-shank nails specifically created for glulam or heavy timber.
Key Features
- N54 ring-shank nails included
- A cost-effective alternative to using two hangers
- Not acceptable for nailer applications
Material
- 3 ga. top flange; 7 ga. stirrup
Finish
- Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint. Hot-dip galvanized is available; specify HDG.
Options
- Hot-dip galvanized; specify HDG.
- Seats may be skewed to a maximum of 50° and/or sloped to a maximum of 45°.
- When seat is sloped, the maximum allowable load is 6,550 lb.
- When seat is skewed, the maximum allowable load is 6,500 lb. The deflection at full loading may reach 1/4". For skews greater than 15°, multiply the table uplift load by 0.50.
- For sloped and skewed seat combinations, the maximum download is 5,500 lb. per supported member. The deflection at full loading may reach 1/4". For skews greater than 15", multiply the table uplift load by 0.50".
- Sloped or skewed seat hangers may not be installed in non-backed nailer/header installations.
- Top flange may be sloped down to the left or right as far as 30°. Reduce allowable loads using the following reduction factor based on linear interpolation: (90–α)/90, where α is the angle measure from the horizontal. This reduction is not cumulative with other load reductions.
- Top flange may be offset left or right for placement at the end of a header. Minimum seat width is 3 1/4". The maximum allowable load is 0.50. No uplift load is available. Offset top flange and sloped seat is allowed with 0.45 load factor.
- For skewed and offset or skewed only top-flange hangers with inward or outward configuration, the maximum allowable load is the lesser of (a) 45% of the catalog load or (b) 3,500 lb.
