The Simpson HB7.12/22 Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam is a heavy-duty, top-flange connector engineered to carry medium to high loads in solid sawn and engineered wood framing applications. Manufactured in the United States from 10-gauge steel with a galvanized finish, this one-piece hanger delivers a cost-effective alternative to welded hangers without sacrificing structural performance. The full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation, ensuring a stable, secure connection for demanding heavy beam installations.

Key Features

• Top-Flange Design: Sits atop the supporting member for easy installation and superior load transfer in heavy beam applications.
• Full-Height Joist Flange: Captures the top chord of the joist to actively resist rotation and maintain structural alignment.
• One-Piece Construction: Formed from a single piece of steel, eliminating the need for welded components and reducing overall cost.
• Medium to High Load Capacity: Engineered to handle demanding load requirements in both solid sawn and engineered wood framing systems.
• 10-Gauge Steel: Heavy-gauge material provides the strength and rigidity required for substantial beam connections.
• Galvanized Finish: Standard galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for a wide range of construction environments.
• Hot-Dip Galvanized Option Available: May be ordered with a hot-dip galvanized finish for enhanced corrosion protection in more demanding conditions.
• Made in the USA: Manufactured domestically to consistent quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of framing applications is the HB7.12/22 designed for?

The HB7.12/22 is engineered for use in both solid sawn and engineered wood framing applications, making it suitable for a wide range of heavy beam installations that require medium to high load capacity.

How does the top-flange design benefit installation?

The top-flange design allows the hanger to sit atop the supporting member, which simplifies installation and provides superior load transfer. The full-height joist flange also captures the top chord of the joist to actively resist rotation and maintain structural alignment throughout the connection.

What material and finish is the HB7.12/22 made from?

The hanger is formed from a single piece of 10-gauge steel with a standard galvanized finish that provides corrosion resistance for a wide range of construction environments. For applications requiring enhanced corrosion protection, a hot-dip galvanized finish option is also available.

How does one-piece construction compare to welded hangers?

Because the HB7.12/22 is formed from a single piece of steel rather than assembled from multiple welded components, it offers a cost-effective alternative to welded hangers without sacrificing the structural performance required for heavy beam connections.
