Product Description
The Simpson Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam is an engineered connector built to handle medium to high loads in solid sawn lumber and engineered wood beam assemblies. Constructed from 10 gauge steel with a galvanized finish, this heavy beam hanger delivers reliable structural performance where top-flange mounting and rotation prevention are critical to the integrity of the framing system.
Key Features
- Top-flange mounting design - Connects at the top of the carrying member, allowing for cleaner installation and efficient load transfer without the need for welded alternatives
- Full-height joist flange - Captures the top chord of the supported beam to prevent rotation under load, maintaining alignment and structural consistency over time
- 10 gauge steel construction - Provides the material strength required for medium to high load-bearing applications involving heavy beams
- Standard galvanized finish - Offers corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of interior and exposed framing environments
- Compatible with solid sawn and engineered wood - Performs reliably across both traditional lumber and modern engineered wood beam connections, giving builders flexibility across project types
- One-piece unit construction - Eliminates the complexity of multi-component assemblies, simplifying installation and reducing potential points of failure in the connection
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for heavy beam applications - Engineered specifically for the load demands of heavy beam framing, this top-flange hanger is a direct, structurally sound alternative to welded connectors in high-load assemblies
- Rotation prevention built into the design - The full-height joist flange actively keeps the supported member in position, reducing the risk of twist or shift that can compromise framing integrity over time
- Broad application compatibility - Approved for use with solid sawn lumber and engineered wood alike, this hanger adapts to the materials contractors and builders are already working with
- Domestically produced by a trusted structural connector brand - Made in the United States by Simpson, this hanger reflects consistent manufacturing quality backed by one of the most recognized names in structural connectors
