The Simpson BA2.56/22 BA Series Top-Flange Joist Hanger is a cost-effective connector built for engineered wood and solid sawn lumber framing applications. Designed to carry medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products, this 12-gauge G90 galvanized steel hanger fits a 2-1/2 in. x 22 in. joist member and offers min./max. nailing options for design versatility. Whether you are working with engineered wood joists in a modern floor system or conventional solid sawn lumber, the BA2.56/22 gives structural professionals a reliable, adaptable top-flange solution.

Key Features

• Two-level embossment at the top flange - provides increased stiffness at the connection point, giving the hanger greater rigidity under load without adding bulk.
• Full-height joist flange design - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminates the need for web stiffeners, simplifying installation and reducing material costs.
• Min./max. nailing options - minimum nailing targets moderate load demands, whereas maximum nailing allows higher loads, giving engineers and framers flexibility within a single hanger model.
• Compatible with sloped and/or skewed members - available for special order configurations, making this hanger adaptable to non-standard framing conditions.
• 12-gauge steel construction - delivers the structural strength needed for medium-to-high load joist connections in both residential and commercial framing.
• Zinc Galvanized (G90) coating - provides extra corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in demanding job-site environments over the long term.

Why This Product

• Optimized for engineered wood performance - the BA series is specifically designed to carry higher loads when paired with engineered wood products, making it a strong fit for modern floor and roof framing systems that rely on LVL or I-joist construction.
• Built-in rotation control without extra hardware - the full-height joist flange captures the top chord and prevents joist rotation, eliminating the need for web stiffeners and keeping your fastener count and labor time down.
• One hanger, two load levels - the min./max. nailing design means you can adapt the same BA2.56/22 to moderate or higher structural load requirements simply by adjusting the fastener schedule, reducing the number of SKUs you need to stock on a job.
• Durable G90 galvanized finish from a trusted structural connector brand - Simpson engineered this hanger from 12-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized coating, combining long-term corrosion resistance with the structural reliability that framing professionals expect from the BA series.
