The Simpson BA Top-Flange Joist Hanger for 2-5/16 in. x 11-7/8 in. Engineered Wood is a versatile, heavy-duty connector from Simpson designed for both engineered wood and solid sawn lumber applications. This top-flange hanger carries medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products, making it a reliable choice across a wide range of structural framing conditions. Positive-angle nailing (PAN) gives installers the flexibility to target moderate load conditions with minimum nailing or support higher loads with maximum nailing, adapting to the demands of the job.

Key Features

• Cost-effective one-piece design - eliminates the expense and complexity of welded hangers, reducing material and labor costs on the job site
• Full-height joist flange - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminate the need for web stiffeners, saving time and additional hardware
• Positive-angle nailing (PAN) capability - allows nailing to be adjusted from minimum to maximum to match moderate or higher load conditions, giving builders precise load management flexibility
• Available for sloped and/or skewed member configurations - accommodates non-standard framing angles, making it suitable for complex roof and floor framing applications
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the structural integrity needed to handle medium-to-high load demands in residential and commercial framing
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance to protect the connector in demanding or moisture-prone construction environments

Why This Product

• Dual-material compatibility - engineered to perform with both engineered wood products and solid sawn lumber, this joist hanger adapts to whatever framing material your project calls for without needing a different connector
• Flexible load capacity in a single hanger - the PAN design lets you dial in load performance from moderate to high simply by adjusting nailing quantity, reducing the need to stock multiple hanger models for different load conditions
• One-piece construction cuts installation time - compared to welded alternatives, the single-piece stamped design means fewer parts to manage on site and a faster, more straightforward installation for top-flange beam and joist connections
• Built-in rotation control without extra hardware - the full-height joist flange secures the top chord of the joist, eliminating rotation and the need for web stiffeners, which keeps your framing plumb and your hardware list short
