Product Description
The Simpson Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam 4-5/8 x 18 is an engineered structural connector from Simpson designed to deliver secure, reliable load transfer in medium to high load-carrying applications. Built for use with solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products alike, this heavy beam hanger sits over the top chord of the supporting member, making it a practical and structurally sound choice for beam-to-beam and beam-to-header connections in both residential and commercial framing projects.
Key Features
- Top-Flange Design - Positions over the top chord of the supporting member for secure load transfer without the need for face-mounting, simplifying installation in framed assemblies.
- Full-Height Joist Flange - Captures the top chord of the joist to actively prevent rotation during loading, helping maintain long-term structural stability under demanding conditions.
- 10 Gauge Steel Construction - Provides the rigidity and strength needed to handle medium to high loads at heavy beam connections without relying on welded fabrication.
- Galvanized Finish - Offers corrosion resistance to support long-term performance in structural framing environments.
- One-Piece Construction - Serves as a cost-effective alternative to welded hangers while maintaining structural performance, reducing material costs without compromising connection integrity.
- Broad Application Compatibility - Approved for use with solid sawn lumber and engineered wood product framing systems, giving builders flexibility across a wide range of heavy beam connection scenarios.
Why This Product
- Engineered for heavy-duty connections - Rated for medium to high load-carrying capacity, this hanger is suited for the most structurally demanding beam-to-beam and beam-to-header connections in residential and commercial framing.
- Rotation prevention built in - The full-height joist flange actively captures the top chord of the joist, reducing the risk of movement or instability during and after loading - a critical advantage in high-stress framing applications.
- Versatile across framing systems - Compatible with both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products, this heavy beam hanger adapts to a variety of modern framing methods without requiring special modifications.
- One-piece efficiency without sacrificing strength - The single-piece design eliminates the added cost and complexity of welded connectors while still meeting the structural performance requirements of heavy beam installations.
