The THGBV is a bolted hanger designed for connecting multi-ply structural composite lumber (SCL) to girder trusses and attaches to a vertical web to support high loads. The THGBV has options for skewing or dropping the buckets to provide design flexibility for a variety of SCL-to-truss connections. This bolted hanger offers an installation option using Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws.
