Product Description
The Simpson BA3.56/22 Top-Flange Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty connector built for 3-1/2 in. x 22 in. engineered wood products and solid sawn lumber, delivering reliable load transfer in a single, job-site-ready component. Formed from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this top-flange hanger supports medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood, making it a practical choice for a wide range of structural framing connections. Its positive-angle nailing (PAN) capability accommodates moderate load conditions with minimum nailing, while maximum nailing configuration handles heavier demands - giving installers straightforward flexibility without switching hardware.
Key Features
- Cost-effective one-piece construction - eliminates the added expense and complexity of welded hangers, streamlining procurement and installation
- Full-height joist flange - captures the top chord of the joist to actively prevent rotation and remove the need for web stiffeners, reducing labor and material costs on the job site
- Dual nailing configurations (PAN minimum and maximum) - lets installers dial in the right load capacity for the application without sourcing a different hanger
- 12-gauge steel construction - provides the structural strength needed to carry medium loads in solid sawn lumber applications and higher loads in engineered wood product installations
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance to extend service life in demanding framing environments
- Available for sloped and skewed member applications - accommodates non-standard framing configurations through special order, adding versatility to the BA series
Why This Product
- Engineered for both EWP and solid sawn lumber - the BA3.56/22 handles higher loads when paired with engineered wood products and medium loads with solid sawn lumber, making it a genuinely dual-purpose hanger that reduces the need to stock multiple SKUs for different framing scenarios
- No web stiffeners required - the full-height joist flange design captures the top chord and resists rotation on its own, cutting out a separate installation step and the associated materials cost
- One-piece design at a lower price point than welded alternatives - buyers get structural performance without paying a premium for multi-piece or welded hanger assemblies, keeping project budgets in check
- Made in the United States from 12-gauge galvanized steel - consistent material quality and G90 corrosion protection mean the hanger is built to perform over the long term in structural framing applications

Frequently Asked Questions
What size joist is the BA3.56/22 designed to support?
The BA3.56/22 is designed for members measuring 3-1/2 in. x 22 in. It is compatible with both engineered wood products and solid sawn lumber of that size.
What nails should be used to install the BA3.56/22?
Install the BA3.56/22 with 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 both minimum nailing using positive-angle nailing (PAN) for moderate load conditions and maximum nailing for higher loads.
Does the BA3.56/22 require web stiffeners?
No. The BA3.56/22 features a full-height joist flange that captures the top chord of the joist, which prevents rotation and eliminates the need for web stiffeners.
Can the BA3.56/22 be used for sloped or skewed applications?
The standard BA3.56/22 is not configured for sloped or skewed members, but it is available for special order to accommodate sloped and/or skewed installations.
