Designed with a saddle-style configuration, these hangers eliminate the need for back-to-back installations, improving efficiency, aesthetics, and structural strength.

Key Features:

• Saddle Design: Provides wraparound support for beam ends while reducing material and labor needed for double hanger setups
• Funnel Flange: Guides beams into place for easier, more accurate installation
• Engineered for Glulam: Tailored to fit glulam dimensions, offering strength and consistency across applications

Applications:

• Glulam-to-glulam or glulam-to-column beam connections
• Timber frame and mass timber construction projects
• Architectural framing where concealed hardware is preferred

Installation Overview:

1. Preparation: Confirm all wood members are dimensionally accurate and free of defects
2. Positioning: Align the GLS hanger at the beam seat location on the support structure
3. Fastening: Install the hanger using approved nails or screws as listed in the manufacturer’s load table
4. Beam Seating: Slide or drop the beam into the hanger using the built-in Funnel Flange™ for guided placement
5. Final Check: Ensure secure seating and fastener engagement as per project specifications
