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. The screw-hole layout fits various flange sizes allowing increased header hanger versatility when evenly distributing loads along fasteners.
Installation:

• At each connection to a jamb stud, use one SHH connector on each side of the header. A 1/8″ (max.) gap is allowed between the end of the header and the face of the jamb stud. Use all specified fasteners.
