Simpson Strong-Tie® Header Hanger, Series: SHH3, 14 Gauge, 4-3/8 in Height, 5-5/8 in Width, Steel, Galvanized
Features
- The bottom tabs transfer wind load from the horizontal window header to the jamb studs and help support the header assembly during installation
- Tabulated loads are based on component assembly testing, which assists to mitigate design risk
- The SHH3 is manufactured from 68 mil (14 ga) steel and is intended for 3-5/8 in D or 4 in D (max) box headers and large-flange lay-in headers
- To enable easier drywall installation, the gusset portion of the SHH is coped to avoid 1-1/2 in (max) track legs
- The screw-hole layout at the jamb studs accommodates flange sizes of 1-5/8 in, 2 in, 2-1/2 in, 3 in and 3-1/2 in
- This versatility allows the load to be evenly distributed along two lines of fasteners so that each jamb stud carries equal axial load with minimum eccentricity
