The Simpson BA2.37/14 BA Top-Flange Joist Hanger for 2-5/16 in. x 14 in. Engineered Wood from Simpson is a versatile structural connector designed for both engineered wood products and solid sawn lumber applications. This top-flange hanger handles medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products, giving builders flexibility across a range of framing conditions. The BA series supports minimum nailing with positive-angle nailing (PAN) for moderate load conditions, as well as maximum nailing configurations for higher load demands - making it a practical fit for residential and light commercial framing projects alike.

Key Features

• Cost-effective one-piece design - eliminates the higher cost and complexity of welded hangers, saving time and money on structural framing installations
• Full-height joist flange - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminate the need for web stiffeners, reducing both labor and material costs
• Dual nailing configurations (PAN minimum and maximum nailing) - lets installers match the fastening pattern to the actual load requirement, avoiding over-engineering or under-building
• Compatible with engineered wood and solid sawn lumber - supports medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products, adding flexibility across project types
• Available for sloped and/or skewed member applications - accommodates non-standard framing angles, making it usable in complex roof and floor geometries
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the structural integrity and rigidity needed for load-bearing joist hanger applications in demanding framing conditions
• Zinc Galvanized G90 finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance, extending service life in environments where moisture exposure is a concern

Why This Product

• One hanger, two lumber types - because the BA2.37/14 works with both engineered wood and solid sawn lumber, contractors can use a single connector model across mixed-material framing jobs without stocking multiple hanger types
• No web stiffeners needed - the full-height joist flange prevents joist rotation and eliminates a separate installation step, keeping the job moving faster with fewer components on site
• Load flexibility built in - the support for both minimum PAN nailing and maximum nailing configurations means this hanger adapts to moderate and higher load conditions without requiring a different product, reducing the risk of specification errors
• G90 galvanized protection on a domestic-made connector - the Zinc Galvanized G90 coating provides meaningful corrosion resistance for long-term performance, and the hanger is made in the United States to Simpson quality standards
