Product Description
The Simpson BA2.56/24 Top-Flange Joist Hanger for 2-1/2 in. x 24 in. Engineered Wood from Simpson is a cost-effective structural connector built for both engineered wood products and solid sawn lumber applications. Constructed from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this top-flange hanger is designed to carry medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of framing and floor system projects. Min./max. nailing options give engineers and contractors the flexibility to meet varying structural load demands within a single hanger design.
Key Features
- Two-level embossment at the top flange - provides increased stiffness to the connection, improving structural integrity at the bearing point.
- Full-height joist flange - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminates the need for web stiffeners, reducing material costs and installation steps.
- Min./max. nailing options - minimum nailing targets moderate load demands while maximum nailing allows higher loads, giving the installer one connector that adapts to the project's specific load requirements.
- Compatible with sloped and/or skewed members - available in modified configurations to accommodate angled framing conditions, adding versatility for complex roof and floor assemblies.
- 12-gauge steel construction - delivers the strength and rigidity needed for medium-to-high load structural connections in both residential and light commercial framing.
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - provides a durable, corrosion-resistant coating suited for treated lumber environments and moisture-exposed applications.
Why This Product
- One hanger, two load levels - the min./max. nailing design means a single BA2.56/24 can address moderate or higher structural loads simply by adjusting fastener quantity, reducing the need to stock multiple hanger types for different conditions.
- Engineered to eliminate extra hardware - the full-height joist flange captures the top chord and prevents rotation without web stiffeners, cutting down on additional parts and labor during installation.
- Built for engineered wood and solid sawn lumber alike - this hanger performs across common framing materials, making it practical for contractors who work with mixed lumber types on the same job site.
- Corrosion-resistant construction for long-term performance - the 12-gauge steel body paired with a G90 galvanized coating delivers durability in demanding conditions, supporting the structural connection over the life of the building.
