The Simpson BA7.12/20 Top-Flange Hanger for Double 3-1/2 in. x 20 in. Engineered Wood is a cost-effective structural connector from Simpson designed for use with engineered wood and solid sawn lumber framing applications. Built from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this BA series top-flange joist hanger is engineered 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 residential and commercial framing demands. Min./max. nailing options give engineers and framers the design flexibility to meet varying load requirements with a single hanger model.

Key Features

• Two-level embossment at the top flange - provides increased stiffness, improving the overall structural performance of the connection without adding bulk or complexity to the installation.
• Full-height joist flange design - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminate the need for web stiffeners, reducing material costs and simplifying the framing process.
• Min./max. nailing options - minimum nailing targets moderate load demands, whereas maximum nailing allows higher loads, giving designers and installers built-in flexibility to meet project-specific load requirements with one hanger.
• Available for sloped and/or skewed member configurations - accommodates framing situations where members are not square, supporting sloped and skewed installations up to the limits outlined in Simpson specifications.
• 12-gauge steel construction - delivers the strength needed for medium-to-heavy load applications in both engineered lumber and solid sawn lumber framing systems.
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - provides extra corrosion resistance, extending the service life of the hanger in conditions where moisture exposure is a concern.

Why This Product

• One hanger, a range of load capacities - because minimum and maximum nailing options are built into the BA7.12/20 design, structural engineers and contractors can dial in the right load capacity without sourcing a different connector for each application, streamlining procurement and installation.
• Engineered to eliminate extra hardware - the full-height joist flange prevents joist rotation and removes the need for web stiffeners, cutting down on supplemental materials and labor time on the job site.
• Durable finish for long-term performance - the G90 galvanized coating provides extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger a reliable choice for framing projects where moisture or environmental exposure could compromise connector integrity over time.
• Purpose-built for large engineered wood members - sized specifically for a double 3-1/2 in. x 20 in. joist, this hanger is a direct-fit solution for engineered lumber framing, reducing the guesswork and field modifications that come with using an improperly sized connector.
