Simpson Strong-Tie SHH3/68-KT24 SHH 4-3/8 in. x 5-5/8 in. 68-mil Galvanized Steel Header Hanger (24-Qty)

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.

This Simpson product is designed for construction, connector, fastening, anchoring, and structural applications where dependable performance, durability, and jobsite-ready installation matter.

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
• 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 3-5/8 in. or 4-in.-deep (max.) box headers and large-flange lay-in headers
• Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance
• Packaged as a box of 12 right-handed connectors and 12 left-handed connectors
