The Simpson BA3.56/9.5 BA Top-Flange Joist Hanger from Simpson is a versatile framing connector engineered for both engineered wood and solid sawn lumber applications. Sized for a 3-1/2 in. x 9-1/2 in. member, this top-flange hanger delivers medium load capacity with solid sawn lumber and higher load capacity with engineered wood products. The BA design supports minimum nailing with positive-angle nailing (PAN) for moderate load conditions and maximum nailing to handle higher loads, giving contractors and builders a single connector that adapts to a range of structural framing demands.

Key Features

• Cost-effective one-piece design - eliminates the need for welded hangers, reducing material costs without sacrificing structural performance
• Full-height joist flange - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminate the need for web stiffeners, simplifying installation and reducing additional hardware
• Positive-angle nailing (PAN) with flexible nailing schedules - minimum nailing targets moderate load conditions while maximum nailing supports higher loads, letting builders match fastening to the specific structural requirement
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the strength and rigidity needed for medium-to-higher load applications in residential and light commercial framing
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance, making the hanger suitable for environments where moisture exposure is a concern
• Available for sloped and/or skewed member configurations - accommodates non-standard framing angles, giving builders the flexibility to use this hanger in more complex structural layouts

Why This Product

• Dual-application versatility - engineered to perform with both engineered wood products and solid sawn lumber, this joist hanger covers a wider range of framing scenarios than connectors designed for only one material type
• Simplified installation with fewer components - the one-piece construction and full-height joist flange eliminate the need for web stiffeners and reduce the number of parts on the job site, saving time during structural framing
• Load-adaptable nailing design - the choice between minimum and maximum nailing schedules means a single hanger model can be dialed in for moderate or higher load conditions, reducing the need to stock multiple connector types
• Built-in corrosion protection - the G90 zinc galvanized coating provides extra durability in moisture-prone framing environments, supporting long-term structural integrity
