The Simpson BA7.12/22 is a top-flange joist hanger built for engineered wood and solid sawn lumber framing connections requiring dependable structural support. Part of Simpson's cost-effective BA series, this 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 broad range of joist-to-header and joist-to-beam applications. Sized for a double 3-1/2 in. x 22 in. member and formed from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, the BA7.12/22 delivers the structural performance and corrosion resistance demanded by professional framing work.

Key Features

• Two-level embossment at the top flange - provides increased stiffness, adding rigidity to the connection without requiring additional hardware
• 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 material on the job site
• Min./max. nailing options - minimum nailing targets moderate load demands, whereas maximum nailing allows higher loads, giving installers design flexibility to meet varying project requirements
• Available for sloped and/or skewed applications - accommodates modified configurations, expanding the range of framing conditions this hanger can serve
• 12-gauge steel construction - delivers the structural strength needed to support double 3-1/2 in. x 22 in. engineered wood or solid sawn lumber members in demanding framing assemblies
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides extra corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in moisture-exposed framing environments over the long term

Why This Product

• One hanger, two performance levels - the built-in min./max. nailing schedule lets you dial in moderate or higher load capacity using the same hanger, reducing the need to stock multiple connector types for different load conditions
• Eliminates extra installation steps - the full-height joist flange prevents joist rotation and removes the need for web stiffeners, cutting down on labor and supplemental materials during installation
• Engineered for both EWP and solid sawn lumber - the BA series design supports a wide range of framing materials, making this hanger a practical fit for projects that mix engineered wood products with traditional lumber
• Built for durability in the field - 12-gauge steel paired with a G90 galvanized finish means this top-flange hanger resists corrosion and maintains structural integrity across a variety of jobsite conditions
