The THGBV3.62/9 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.

For custom options give us a call at (888) 794-1590 and we would be glad to custom order the truss hanger you need for your project!

Available Custom Options

Skewed Seat

• THGBV hangers can be skewed to a maximum of 45°.
• The maximum allowable download and uplift load for skew is 0.87 of the table load.

Dropped Bucket

• THGBV backplates can be extended to allow for up to a 6" dropped bucket.
• Allowable loads are 100% of the table loads.
• Will be ordered as  “X” version, specifying the total backplate height, BK_PLT, equal to the hanger height (H) plus the dropped bucket amount (d_b). Ex: a THGBV3.62/9 with a 4" dropped bucket would have a total backplate height of 27 1/4".

- Use all specified fasteners
- All multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit
- Maximum 11 7/8" bottom chord in the carrying member to allow for the minimum bolt end distance
- Bolts must be installed symmetrically when fewer than the maximum number of bolts are used on the backplate
- Girders must have adequate lateral bracing to prevent excessive displacement due to secondary torsional stresses (refer to ANSI/TPI 1-2014 Section 7.5.3.5)
- Carrying member must be a minimum two-ply girder truss to allow for required minimum screw penetration
