Product Description
The Simpson Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam is a heavy-duty, one-piece structural connector engineered to carry medium to high loads in solid sawn lumber and engineered wood product framing applications. Designed specifically for heavy beam connections - including beam-to-beam and beam-to-header installations - this hanger mounts at the top chord of the supported member to deliver secure, rotation-resistant performance where structural reliability matters most.
Key Features
- Top-Flange Mounting Design - Attaches at the top chord of the supported member, enabling clean, stable beam connections in heavy framing applications without the need for additional support hardware during installation.
- Full-Height Joist Flange - Captures the top chord of the joist to actively prevent rotation under load, reducing the risk of structural movement and improving long-term connection integrity.
- One-Piece Construction - Eliminates welded components, simplifying installation and providing a cost-effective solution for medium to high load structural framing without compromising load-carrying performance.
- 10 Gauge Steel with Galvanized Finish - Delivers the material strength required for heavy beam applications while the galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for lasting durability.
- Sized for 4-5/8 in. x 14 in. Heavy Beams - Precisely dimensioned to fit beams measuring 4-5/8 in. wide by 14 in. tall in both solid sawn and engineered wood product configurations, ensuring a proper, code-compatible connection.
Why This Product
- Built for Heavy Beam Structural Demands - Engineered to handle medium to high load applications across solid sawn lumber and engineered wood framing systems, making it a dependable choice for demanding beam-to-beam and beam-to-header connections.
- Rotation Prevention Built In - The full-height joist flange actively captures the top chord of the joist, addressing one of the most critical failure points in heavy beam connections and supporting structural stability throughout the life of the assembly.
- Simplified Installation Without Sacrificing Strength - One-piece construction means fewer components to manage on the job site, reducing installation complexity while still delivering the load-carrying performance required for heavy structural framing.
- A Trusted Simpson Product Made in the United States - Backed by Simpson's reputation in structural connectors and produced domestically, this hanger meets the quality and consistency expectations of professional framers and structural contractors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What beam size is the HB4.75/14 designed to fit?
The HB4.75/14 is specifically sized for heavy beams measuring 4-5/8 inches wide by 14 inches tall, accommodating both solid sawn and engineered wood members of those dimensions.
What material and finish does the HB4.75/14 use?
The HB4.75/14 is constructed from 10 gauge steel with a standard galvanized finish for corrosion resistance. For applications requiring enhanced corrosion protection, it may also be ordered in a hot-dip galvanized finish.
How does the top-flange design benefit installation?
The top-flange design allows the hanger to mount at the top chord of the supported member, providing a secure and stable connection. The full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist to actively prevent rotation under load, improving structural reliability during and after installation.
Is the HB4.75/14 a welded or one-piece construction?
The HB4.75/14 is a one-piece construction, which eliminates the need for welded components. This design provides a structurally sound and cost-effective alternative to welded hangers while maintaining medium to high load-carrying performance.
