Product Description
The Simpson BA5.12/22 is a top-flange joist hanger engineered specifically for double 2-1/2 in. x 22 in. engineered wood framing connections. Part of Simpson's cost-effective BA series, this 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 structural framing applications. Built from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, it delivers durable, corrosion-resistant performance in demanding joist and beam connections where reliability matters.
Key Features
- Two-level embossment at the top flange - provides increased stiffness at the connection point, reducing flex and improving structural integrity under load
- Full-height joist flange design - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminate the need for web stiffeners, saving time and materials during installation
- Minimum and maximum nailing options - minimum nailing targets moderate load demands, whereas maximum nailing allows higher loads, giving designers and builders flexibility to match nailing schedules to actual load requirements
- Available for sloped and skewed member configurations - accommodates sloped and/or skewed framing members, supporting versatile framing layouts beyond standard square connections
- 12-gauge steel construction - delivers the structural strength required for large engineered wood members without excessive material weight
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides extra corrosion resistance suited for framing environments where moisture exposure is a concern
Why This Product
- Cost-effective performance for engineered wood framing - the BA series is purpose-built to carry higher loads when used with engineered wood products, delivering strong structural value without overbuilding the connection
- Eliminates web stiffeners at the joist - the full-height joist flange captures and stabilizes the top chord directly, removing an extra installation step and reducing labor on the jobsite
- Built-in design versatility through variable nailing - the ability to select minimum or maximum nailing patterns within a single hanger model lets engineers and contractors optimize the connection for actual load conditions rather than defaulting to a fixed solution
- Durable galvanized protection in one ready-to-install hanger - the G90 zinc galvanized finish is applied at the factory, so the corrosion-resistant protection is already in place when the hanger arrives on site

Frequently Asked Questions
What member size is the BA5.12/22 designed to fit?
The BA5.12/22 is designed specifically for a double 2-1/2 in. x 22 in. engineered wood member. It is a top-flange hanger built to support that exact joist size, so it is important to confirm your member dimensions match before ordering.
What nails are required to install the BA5.12/22?
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.
Is the BA5.12/22 suitable for use with both engineered wood and solid sawn lumber?
Yes. The BA series is designed to carry medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products, making the BA5.12/22 a versatile option for both types of framing applications.
Can the BA5.12/22 be used for sloped or skewed framing conditions?
The standard BA5.12/22 is designed for square connections, but it is available for special order to accommodate sloped and/or skewed members. Contact your supplier for information on ordering a modified version for angled applications.
