Simpson Strong-Tie SHH6/68-KT24 SHH 7-3/16-in. x 5-5/8-in. 68-mil Galvanized Steel Header Hanger, 24-Pack

• 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
• To enable easier drywall installation, the gusset portion of the SHH is coped to avoid 1 1/2" (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
• Made from 68-mil/14-gauge steel intended for use with 6-in.-deep (min.) box headers
• Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance
• Packaged as a box of 12 right-handed connectors and 12 left-handed connectors

The Simpson Strong-Tie SHH steel header hanger is used to support traditional CFS box headers that are fabricated with top and bottom tracks, as well as large-flange lay-in headers that are common in curtain-wall construction. The connector geometry minimizes drywall buildup, and the screw count has been minimized through extensive testing. A wide array of value-engineered hole patterns are available that will accommodate different load levels while minimizing installed cost.
