Product Description
The Simpson BA2.1/9.5 Top-Flange Joist Hanger is a cost-effective, professional-grade connector designed for 2 in. x 9-1/2 in. joist installations using engineered wood products or solid sawn lumber. Built from 12-gauge G90 galvanized steel, this top-flange hanger carries medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products, making it a versatile choice for residential and light commercial floor and roof framing systems. Minimum and maximum nailing options give designers and contractors the flexibility to address a range of load conditions with a single hanger, reducing the need for multiple connector types on the job site.
Key Features
- Two-level embossment at the top flange - increases overall stiffness of the hanger, delivering a more rigid connection that holds up under demanding load conditions.
- Full-height joist flange - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminate the need for web stiffeners, saving material costs and installation time.
- Minimum and maximum nailing options - minimum nailing targets moderate load demands, while maximum nailing allows higher loads, giving engineers and framers design versatility from a single connector.
- Available for special order to accommodate sloped and/or skewed members - extends the usability of the BA series to non-standard framing geometries where standard hangers would not apply.
- 12-gauge steel construction - provides the structural thickness needed for medium-to-higher load applications in both floor and roof framing assemblies.
- G90 galvanized coating - offers extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for use with treated lumber and in moisture-prone environments where bare steel would degrade prematurely.
Why This Product
- One hanger, two load levels - the min./max. nailing design means a single BA2.1/9.5 can be nailed to moderate or higher load specifications depending on project requirements, reducing the number of SKUs a contractor needs to stock.
- Engineered wood ready - while many standard joist hangers are optimized for solid sawn lumber, the BA series is specifically designed to carry higher loads when paired with engineered wood products, aligning with modern framing practices that rely on LVL, I-joists, and similar materials.
- Built-in rotation control without added hardware - the full-height joist flange captures the top chord and eliminates the need for web stiffeners, streamlining the installation process and reducing material costs on larger framing projects.
- Corrosion-resistant finish for long-term durability - the G90 galvanized coating provides a meaningful level of protection in treated lumber assemblies and moisture-prone framing environments, helping the connection maintain its integrity over the life of the structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What joist size is the BA2.1/9.5 designed to fit?
The BA2.1/9.5 is designed for joists with an actual size of 2 in. x 9-1/2 in. It is compatible with both engineered wood products and solid sawn lumber of that dimension.
What nails should be used to install this hanger?
Install the BA2.1/9.5 using 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the header and 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist. The hanger supports minimum and maximum nailing options, allowing you to target moderate load demands with minimum nailing or achieve higher load capacities with maximum nailing.
Does this hanger require web stiffeners?
No. The full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation, which eliminates the need for web stiffeners. This saves both time and materials during installation.
Can the BA2.1/9.5 be used for sloped or skewed framing applications?
The standard BA2.1/9.5 is designed for standard installations, but it is available for special order to accommodate sloped and/or skewed members. Contact your supplier to inquire about special-order configurations for angled applications.
