Product Description
The Simpson BA4.12/14 Top-Flange Joist Hanger is a 12-gauge, G90 galvanized steel connector designed for double 2 in. x 14 in. engineered wood and solid sawn lumber framing applications. Part of Simpson's BA series, this cost-effective hanger is built to carry medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products, making it a versatile choice for residential and commercial floor and roof framing systems. Its two-level top-flange embossment and full-height joist flange work together to deliver superior stiffness and rotational control, while min./max. nailing options give engineers and framers the design versatility needed to meet varying load demands.
Key Features
- Two-Level Top-Flange Embossment - Increases stiffness at the top flange, delivering improved structural performance and resistance under load.
- Full-Height Joist Flange - Captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminates the need for web stiffeners, saving time and materials during installation.
- Min./Max. Nailing Options - Minimum nailing targets moderate load demands, while maximum nailing allows higher loads to be transferred, giving the installer built-in design versatility for varying structural requirements.
- Compatible with Engineered Wood and Solid Sawn Lumber - Supports both material types, making this hanger a practical single solution across a range of framing applications.
- Available for Sloped and/or Skewed Members - Can be special ordered to accommodate angled framing conditions, extending its usefulness beyond standard installations.
- 12-Gauge Steel Construction - Provides the structural strength required for medium-to-high load applications without adding unnecessary bulk to the connection.
- G90 Galvanized Coating - Delivers extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for moisture-prone environments and longer service life in demanding conditions.
Why This Product
- Cost-Effective Performance for Engineered Wood Framing - The BA series is designed to deliver reliable load capacity at a practical price point, handling higher loads when paired with engineered wood products and medium loads with solid sawn lumber, so builders get appropriate performance without over-engineering the connection.
- Eliminates the Need for Web Stiffeners - The full-height joist flange captures the top chord and controls rotation directly, removing an installation step and reducing material costs on double 2 in. x 14 in. joist connections.
- Flexible Nailing Means One Hanger Serves Multiple Load Scenarios - Because minimum and maximum nailing options are built into the design, the same BA4.12/14 can be configured to meet moderate or higher load requirements without switching to a different product.
- G90 Galvanized Finish Supports Long-Term Durability - The zinc galvanized coating provides an added layer of corrosion resistance compared to standard finishes, making this hanger a dependable choice for floor and roof framing in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.

Installation Information
Install the BA4.12/14 using 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. Minimum nailing targets moderate load conditions; maximum nailing is required when higher loads must be transferred. The full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist, preventing rotation without the use of additional web stiffeners.

Frequently Asked Questions
What member size is the BA4.12/14 designed to support?
The BA4.12/14 is designed specifically for double 2 in. x 14 in. members. It is compatible with both engineered wood products and solid sawn lumber, carrying medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood.
What nails should be used to install the BA4.12/14?
Install the BA4.12/14 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 offers minimum and maximum nailing options, where minimum nailing targets moderate load demands and maximum nailing allows higher loads.
Does this hanger require web stiffeners during installation?
No. The full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation, which eliminates the need for web stiffeners and simplifies the installation process.
What material and finish is the BA4.12/14 made from, and can it be used in moisture-prone environments?
The BA4.12/14 is made from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, which provides extra corrosion resistance. This makes it a suitable choice for environments where exposure to moisture is a concern.
