A:  Using the hanger allows you to eliminate the jack studs, that's the point of using it. For example if you wanted to put multiple windows side-by-side with only 4x4 posts between them, using the hangers allows the spacing between the windows to be less.

A:  Hello Ericp, this is Stacy with Simpson Strong-Tie. The HH hanger can be used with SD screws however, we do not have any specific load values for how the hanger would perform. If you wish to explore using the SD screws then you could explore using the SD #10 by 1.5" or 2.5". If you want to discuss this further please call us at (800) 999-5099. We look forward to speaking with you.

A:  Yes

A:  Hello Andrew, this is Stacy with Simpson Strong-Tie. The HH could potentially work for this application but the HH4 only has a width of 3 1/2". Shim would need to be designed and added to the double 2x4s before installing the hanger. Simpson Strong-Tie does not have details on how to add shim. If you wish to discuss this further please call us at (800) 999-5099. We look forward to hearing from you.

A:  Hi Matt, thank you for your message. We want to make sure we address your question regarding HH6 Header Hangers. The HH6 header hanger has load capacity is 4 directions, if the published load meets your demand load for the connection then it can be used for your application. For more information or have additional questions, please contact the Simpson Strong-Tie Customer Service team at 800-999-5099. We look forward to hearing from you.​​ -Stacy
