MTHTF2 MULTIPLE TRUSS HANGER MTHTF2-2 TOP FLANGE Design Features . . The MTHTF hanger is the largest capacity nail-on hanger available. This is a welded hanger designed to carry up to three trusses intersecting at one point into a double-ply girder truss. The top flange is notched at the center to accommodate vertical and diagonal web members in the girder truss. Material . . • MTHTF2 – top flange 3 ga. steel, stirrup 11 ga. steel. • MTHTF2N – top flange 3 ga. steel, stirrup 11 ga. steel. • MTHTF2-2 – top flange 3 ga. steel, stirrup 7 ga. steel. • MTHTF2-2N – top flange 3 ga. steel, stirrup 7 ga. steel. Finish . . SUPERSPEED gray paint. Installation . . Distribute the total load evenly about the centerline to avoid an eccentric loading condition. • Multiple members must be fastened together by means other than the connector, to act as a single unit. • For MTHTF2 and MTHTF2N, a minimum 2 x 6 vertical member is required. For MTHTF2-2 and MTHTF2-2N, a minimum of 2 x 8 vertical member is required. • Bottom cord of header member must be a minimum of a 2 x 6. Options . . For larger bottom cord, increase H1 and H 2 accordingly. Maximum skew of hip stirrups is 45 degrees. For MTHTF2, maximum W1 and W2 is 3⁷⁄₁₆ inch. W1 and W2 must be the same.

Skewed Right Fastener Schedule . . •Carrying member, 2-³⁄₄ MB and 4-l0d nails. •Carried member, 9-10d nails. Material . . 10 gage galvanized steel. Installation . . use all specified fasteners. •Face nails are required to center the TGH2 R/L to the vertical carrying member. •2 x 6 is the minimum vertical carrying member. •The total load must be evenly distributed about the centerline to avoid eccentric loading. •2 x 8 is the maximum bottom chord carrying member to allow for the minimum bolt end distance. 2 x 10 bottom cord take 0.62 of the design load.
