The Simpson BA1.81/14 BA Top-Flange Joist Hanger from Simpson is built for both engineered wood products and solid sawn lumber, delivering reliable mid-to-high load capacity in residential and commercial framing applications. This top-flange hanger supports medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood, and its positive-angle nailing (PAN) design accommodates both minimum and maximum nailing configurations to match moderate or demanding load conditions. Whether you are installing floor joists, roof members, or structural beams, this hanger provides a dependable, code-friendly connection solution.

Key Features

• Cost-effective one-piece design - eliminates the added expense and complexity of welded hangers, keeping framing budgets in check without sacrificing structural integrity
• Full-height joist flange - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminate the need for web stiffeners, reducing both material costs and installation steps
• Positive-angle nailing (PAN) with minimum and maximum nailing options - gives framers flexibility to meet moderate or higher load requirements with a single hanger design
• Compatible with engineered wood products and solid sawn lumber - supports a wider range of member types so one hanger works across multiple framing scenarios
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the structural strength needed to carry medium-to-high loads in demanding framing applications
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance, making the hanger suitable for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern
• Available for sloped and/or skewed member applications - offers configuration flexibility for complex roof or floor framing conditions where standard straight installations are not possible

Why This Product

• Versatile load performance in one hanger - the BA1.81/14 handles both medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products, reducing the need to stock multiple hanger types for different framing members
• Faster installation with fewer added components - the full-height joist flange prevents joist rotation and eliminates web stiffeners, cutting down on the extra hardware and labor that comparable connections often require
• Built-in corrosion protection for long-term performance - the G90 zinc galvanized finish guards against moisture-related degradation, helping maintain connection integrity over the life of the structure
• Adaptable for non-standard framing conditions - the ability to accommodate sloped and/or skewed members means this hanger is not limited to straightforward installations, giving contractors a reliable solution for architecturally complex projects
