Product Description
The Simpson Top Flange Heavy Beam Hanger for 3-1/2 x 30 Beams is an engineered top-flange connector purpose-built to carry medium to high loads in solid sawn and engineered wood structural framing applications. Manufactured as a single continuous piece from 10 gauge steel with a galvanized finish, this heavy beam hanger delivers a cost-effective and structurally sound alternative to welded hangers. The full-height joist flange design captures the top chord of the joist, actively resisting rotation and maintaining beam alignment under load - making it a reliable choice for demanding structural connections in both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood product framing.
Key Features
- Top-Flange Mounting Design - Installs at the top of the supporting member, simplifying placement during framing and reducing the need for extra blocking or hardware in beam-to-beam connections.
- Full-Height Joist Flange - Captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and keep the beam properly aligned under load, supporting consistent performance in medium to high load applications.
- One-Piece Construction - Formed from a single continuous piece of 10 gauge steel, eliminating welded joints that can introduce weak points and reducing overall connection cost without sacrificing structural integrity.
- Galvanized Steel Finish - Provides a protective coating suited to structural framing environments, with a hot-dip galvanized option available for applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance.
- Broad Application Compatibility - Approved for use with solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products, giving builders and contractors flexibility across a wide range of heavy beam framing projects.
Why This Product
- Engineered for Heavy Beam Performance - Designed specifically for medium to high load structural connections, this top flange hanger is built to handle the demands of serious beam-to-beam framing work where connection reliability is critical.
- Rotation Resistance Built In - The full-height joist flange actively holds the beam in position under load, reducing the risk of misalignment and contributing to a more stable finished structure.
- Cost-Effective One-Piece Engineering - Single-piece construction removes the material and labor costs associated with welded hanger alternatives, offering structural performance without unnecessary expense.
- Versatile Across Wood Types - Compatibility with both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products means this hanger works across a wide variety of framing systems, reducing the need to source multiple connector types for a single job.
