Product Description
The Simpson BA4.28/14 is a top-flange joist hanger purpose-built for double 2-1/4 in. x 14 in. engineered wood members, and it belongs to Simpson's cost-effective BA series designed to carry medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products. Fabricated from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this hanger delivers dependable corrosion resistance and structural integrity for residential and light commercial floor and roof framing applications. Min./max. nailing options give designers and installers the flexibility to target moderate or higher load demands within a single connector, making the BA4.28/14 a practical choice wherever top-flange support and design versatility are priorities.
Key Features
- Two-level embossment at the top flange - provides increased stiffness at the connection point, reducing flex and improving overall structural rigidity under load.
- Full-height joist flange design - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminate the need for web stiffeners, speeding up installation and reducing material costs.
- Min./max. nailing options - minimum nailing targets moderate load demands, whereas maximum nailing allows higher loads, giving engineers and builders a single hanger solution adaptable to varying design requirements.
- Available for sloped and/or skewed member configurations - accommodates non-standard framing angles, supporting design flexibility across a wider range of structural applications.
- 12-gauge steel construction - delivers the thickness and strength needed for medium-to-higher load joist connections in engineered wood product framing systems.
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - provides extra corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in moisture-prone framing environments over the long term.
Why This Product
- One hanger, scalable load capacity - the built-in min./max. nailing design means a single BA4.28/14 can serve both moderate and higher load applications, reducing the number of SKUs a builder or engineer needs to manage on a job site.
- Faster installation without web stiffeners - the full-height joist flange captures and stabilizes the joist top chord directly, eliminating a separate installation step and the added cost of web stiffener materials.
- Engineered wood compatibility with a cost-effective profile - the BA series is specifically designed to achieve higher load ratings with engineered wood products, delivering strong performance for EWP framing connections without the cost of a premium heavy-duty hanger.
- Built-in corrosion protection for long-term reliability - the G90 galvanized coating goes beyond basic zinc treatment, making this top-flange connector well-suited for applications where moisture exposure is a concern and connector longevity matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What member size is the BA4.28/14 designed to fit?
The BA4.28/14 is designed specifically for a double 2-1/4 in. x 14 in. engineered wood member. It is a top-flange joist hanger purpose-built for that exact member configuration and should not be substituted for hangers intended for different member sizes.
What nails are required to install the BA4.28/14?
Installation requires 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 for higher loads.
Does the BA4.28/14 work with both engineered wood and solid sawn lumber?
Yes. The BA series is designed for use with both engineered wood products and solid sawn lumber. It carries medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products, making it a versatile option for a range of framing applications.
Is the BA4.28/14 available for sloped or skewed installations?
The standard BA4.28/14 is designed for square connections, but it is available for special order to accommodate sloped and/or skewed members. Contact your supplier to inquire about special-order configurations for non-standard framing angles.
