The Simpson BA Top-Flange Joist Hanger for 1-3/4 in. x 9-1/2 in. Engineered Wood is a 14-gauge steel connector from Simpson engineered for both engineered wood products and solid sawn lumber in structural framing applications. This top-flange hanger delivers medium load capacity with solid sawn lumber and higher load capacity with engineered wood, and it supports both minimum nailing with positive-angle nailing (PAN) for moderate load conditions and maximum nailing for higher load demands - giving builders a single, adaptable connector that scales with the structural requirements of the job.

Key Features

• Cost-effective one-piece design compared to welded hangers - reduces material and labor costs without sacrificing structural integrity, making it a practical choice for production framing and custom builds alike.
• Full-height joist flange that captures the top chord of the joist - prevents joist rotation and eliminates the need for web stiffeners, saving installation time and reducing the number of additional components required on site.
• Supports both minimum nailing with positive-angle nailing (PAN) and maximum nailing - gives installers the flexibility to target moderate load conditions or scale up to higher load requirements using the same hanger, adapting to varying structural demands.
• Compatible with engineered wood products and solid sawn lumber - makes this hanger a versatile fit across a wide range of framing scenarios, from LVL beam applications to traditional dimensional lumber construction.
• Available for special order to accommodate sloped and/or skewed members - expands its usefulness beyond standard square installations, supporting complex roof and floor framing geometries without requiring a custom-fabricated alternative.
• Galvanized G90 zinc coating - provides extra corrosion resistance to help the connector hold up in demanding environments over the long term.

Why This Product

• One hanger, two nailing methods - the ability to use either positive-angle nailing for moderate loads or maximum nailing for higher loads means this connector handles a broad range of structural conditions without requiring a different product for each situation.
• Engineered to eliminate common framing headaches - the full-height joist flange actively prevents rotation and removes the need for web stiffeners, cutting down on extra hardware and keeping installations clean and efficient.
• Built for engineered wood where loads are highest - the BA hanger is specifically designed to deliver higher load values when paired with engineered wood products, making it well-suited for modern floor and roof systems that rely on LVL and similar materials.
• Domestic 14-gauge construction with G90 galvanizing - heavy-gauge steel combined with a G90 zinc galvanized finish means this connector is built to perform structurally and resist corrosion in real-world framing conditions.
