Product Description
The Simpson HB3.56/14 Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam 3-1/2x14 is a top-flange hanger engineered by Simpson to carry medium to high loads in solid sawn and engineered wood framing applications. Its full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation, while the one-piece construction delivers a cost-effective alternative to welded hangers - making it a reliable choice for heavy beam connections in demanding structural builds.
Key Features
- One-piece, top-flange design with full-height joist flange - captures the top chord of the joist to resist rotation and maintain structural alignment without the added cost of welded hardware
- Engineered for medium to high load capacity - handles demanding structural loads in both solid sawn and engineered wood applications, giving builders confidence in high-stress framing scenarios
- 10-gauge steel construction - provides the thickness and strength required for heavy beam hanger applications where lighter gauges would be insufficient
- Zinc Galvanized (G90) finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance, extending the service life of the connection in environments where moisture exposure is a concern
- Available for special order in sloped and/or skewed configurations - accommodates non-standard framing angles so the hanger can be adapted to complex structural layouts
- Requires the use of web stiffeners - ensures proper load transfer through the joist web, maintaining the integrity of the engineered wood member at the connection point
Why This Product
- Cost-effective performance for high-load framing - the efficient one-piece design achieves the load-carrying capacity of welded hangers at a lower cost, making it a smart choice for projects where structural demands are high but budget efficiency matters
- Built to prevent joist rotation - the full-height joist flange actively captures and stabilizes the top chord, reducing the risk of lateral movement that can compromise a finished structure over time
- Versatile compatibility with solid sawn and engineered wood - supports a wide range of common framing materials including I-joists and LVL, so contractors are not locked into a single lumber type for their heavy beam connections
- Durable G90 galvanized steel construction - the combination of 10-gauge steel and a G90 zinc galvanized coating means this heavy beam hanger is built to hold up in real-world conditions where both strength and corrosion resistance are required
