Product Description
The Simpson BA7.12/14 Top-Flange Joist Hanger is a cost-effective connector built for double 3-1/2 in. x 14 in. engineered wood and solid sawn lumber applications. Fabricated from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this BA series hanger is engineered to carry medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products. Its min./max. nailing configuration gives engineers and builders the flexibility to meet a wide range of load demands using a single hardware profile, making it a practical choice for floor framing, beam connections, and structural joist support.
Key Features
- Two-level top flange embossment - increases stiffness at the connection point, improving structural performance without adding bulk or requiring supplemental hardware.
- Full-height joist flange - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminates the need for web stiffeners, simplifying installation and reducing material costs.
- Min./max. nailing options - minimum nailing targets moderate load demands, whereas maximum nailing allows higher loads, giving one hanger the versatility to serve multiple design scenarios.
- 12-gauge steel construction - provides the structural rigidity needed for double-member joist connections in demanding framing applications.
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for environments where long-term durability is a priority.
- Available for sloped and/or skewed configurations - accommodates non-standard framing angles, extending the usefulness of this hanger beyond straightforward perpendicular connections.
Why This Product
- Dual-application versatility - engineered to perform with both engineered wood products at higher load ratings and solid sawn lumber at medium load ratings, so one hanger model covers a broader range of framing materials and structural requirements.
- Rotation control built in - the full-height joist flange actively prevents joist rotation and removes the need for web stiffeners, reducing labor steps and keeping the connection clean and code-consistent.
- Load-adjustable nailing pattern - the ability to scale from minimum to maximum nailing means contractors can dial in the required load capacity on-site without switching to a different hanger, saving time and simplifying procurement.
- Heavy-gauge corrosion-resistant build - the combination of 12-gauge steel and a G90 galvanized coating means this hanger is built to maintain its structural integrity over time, even in conditions where moisture exposure is a concern.

Approved Applications
The BA7.12/14 top-flange hanger is designed for the following structural applications:
- Engineered Wood Products (EWP): Optimized to carry higher loads when used with engineered wood joists and beams.
- Solid Sawn Lumber: Suitable for medium load applications using standard solid sawn lumber members.
- Double-Member Connections: Specifically sized to accept a double 3-1/2 in. x 14 in. joist or beam configuration.
- Sloped & Skewed Framing: Available for special order configurations to accommodate non-standard framing angles.
Installation Information
Install 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 full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminates the need for web stiffeners. Use minimum nailing for moderate load conditions and maximum nailing for higher load requirements.
Options
Options- Other widths are available; specify W dimension (the minimum W dimension is 1 9/16").
- For modified hangers, fastener quantity listed in tables may need to increase depending on joist size, skew

Frequently Asked Questions
What member size is the BA7.12/14 designed to support?
The BA7.12/14 is designed to support a double 3-1/2 in. x 14 in. engineered wood or solid sawn lumber member. It delivers medium load capacity with solid sawn lumber and higher load capacity with engineered wood products.
What nails should be used to install the BA7.12/14?
Install the BA7.12/14 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 features min./max. nailing options, where minimum nailing targets moderate load demands and maximum nailing allows higher loads.
Does the BA7.12/14 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. This simplifies installation and can reduce overall material costs.
Can the BA7.12/14 be used for sloped or skewed applications?
The standard BA7.12/14 is designed for conventional installations, but it is available for special order to accommodate sloped and/or skewed members. Contact your supplier to request a modified version for non-standard framing conditions.
