• Can be skewed a maximum of 45°. The maximum allowable download and uplift load for skew is 0.87 of the table load.
• Backplates can be extended to allow for up to a 6" dropped bucket.
• Available in 9″ and 11″ bucket heights to accommodate a range of SCL sizes.

Skewed Seat

• THGBHV hangers can be skewed to a maximum of 45°.
• The maximum allowable download and uplift load for skew is 0.87 of the table load.

Dropped Bucket

• THGBHV backplates can be extended to allow for up to a 6" dropped bucket.
• Allowable loads are 100% of the table loads.
• Order as “X” version, specify the total backplate height, BK_PLT, equal to the hanger height (H) plus the dropped bucket amount (d_b). Ex: a THGBHV3.62/9 with a 4" dropped bucket would have a total backplate height of 27 1/4".

• Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes
• All multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit
• Maximum 11 7/8" bottom chord in the carrying member to allow for the minimum bolt end distance
• Bolts must be installed symmetrically when fewer than the maximum number of bolts are used on the backplate
• Girders must have adequate lateral bracing to prevent excessive displacement due to secondary torsional stresses (refer to ANSI/TPI 1-2014 Section 7.5.3.5)
• Carrying member must be a minimum two-ply girder truss to allow for required minimum screw penetration
