Product Description
The Simpson CBH2.37X7.63C-KT Concealed Glulam Joist-to-Column Hanger is an engineered concealed beam hanger purpose-built for glulam joist-to-column connections in both structural and architecturally exposed applications. Computer modeling and CNC manufacturing enables glulam to be delivered to the jobsite in precise lengths and with preinstalled concealed hangers, and the Simpson CBH concealed beam hanger is specifically designed for such applications. Installed with Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws that are included in the kit, this hanger delivers a clean, hardware-free appearance without compromising structural performance or fire-rated compliance.
Key Features
- Concealed design for architectural aesthetics and fire-rated performance - keeps structural hardware out of sight in exposed timber applications while still meeting rigorous fire resistance requirements
- 1-hr and 2-hr fire resistance ratings per ASTM E119 - qualifies this hanger for use in projects where code-mandated fire-rated assemblies are required, reducing the need for additional fire protection measures
- Inter-story drift performance tested to over 2% - confirms the connection can handle lateral movement demands, making it appropriate for seismic and wind-sensitive structures
- +/- 1/32 in. beam length tolerance on each end - accommodates minor dimensional variation in glulam members, reducing field fitting time and the risk of costly rework
- Multiple router options to suit jobsite needs - gives contractors flexibility in how the slot is cut into the beam, supporting a wider range of jobsite setups and workflows
- Code-listed per ICC-ESR-2552 - provides documentation for building department submittals and inspector approval with no guesswork
- Made from 3-gauge steel with an electrogalvanized finish - delivers the heavy-duty thickness needed for structural glulam connections along with corrosion resistance for protected interior applications
- Two-backplate kit includes all required fasteners - the complete kit contains both backplates and all 36 SDS25600 screws needed for a single connection, so the full assembly arrives ready to install
Why This Product
- Factory-install ready for prefabricated glulam workflows - because CNC-cut glulam can arrive at the jobsite with the hangers already embedded, this concealed hanger fits directly into modern prefabrication and mass timber construction processes, reducing on-site labor
- Dual fire ratings open more project types - achieving both 1-hr and 2-hr fire resistance ratings per ASTM E119 means this single hanger model can satisfy a broader range of occupancy and building type requirements without substituting a different connector
- Complete kit eliminates separate fastener sourcing - with 36 Strong-Drive SDS25600 screws included alongside both backplates, contractors have everything needed for a full connection in one package, streamlining procurement on fast-moving job sites
- Validated lateral performance for demanding structural conditions - inter-story drift testing beyond 2% gives engineers and inspectors documented evidence of the connection's behavior under lateral loads, supporting approval in seismic design categories where many standard hangers fall short
