Product Description
The Simpson Top Flange Hanger for 3x10 Heavy Beam is a professional-grade structural connector built to handle medium to high loads in both solid sawn and engineered wood framing assemblies. Fabricated from 10-gauge steel with a galvanized finish, this single-piece hanger delivers a reliable, high-strength connection for heavy beam-to-header and beam-to-beam applications in residential and commercial framing. Its top-flange design simplifies placement during installation, while its full-height joist flange keeps the supported member aligned and rotation-free under sustained structural load.
Key Features
- Top-Flange Installation Design - Installs over the top of the supporting member, making placement faster and more accurate during framing without requiring toe-nailing or repositioning.
- Full-Height Joist Flange - Captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and maintain consistent alignment under load, supporting long-term structural integrity.
- 10-Gauge Steel Construction - Provides the thickness and rigidity needed for medium to high load-carrying applications in demanding structural assemblies.
- Galvanized Finish - Offers corrosion resistance suitable for typical framing environments, with a hot-dip galvanized option available for more demanding exposure conditions.
- Broad Framing Compatibility - Engineered for use with both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products, giving builders flexibility across a wide range of structural framing configurations.
- Domestic Manufacture - Produced in the United States to consistent quality standards, supporting confidence in dimensional accuracy and material compliance.
Why This Product
- Built for Heavy Beam Applications - Specifically sized for 3x10 framing members, this hanger is engineered to meet the load demands of heavy beam connections rather than serving as a general-purpose connector pressed into an oversized role.
- Rotation Prevention at the Top Chord - The full-height joist flange actively captures the top chord of the supported member, reducing the risk of joist roll and keeping the assembly stable without relying on supplemental blocking alone.
- Single-Piece Efficiency - As a one-piece connector, the hanger eliminates the complexity and variability associated with field-welded or multi-component solutions, streamlining both installation and inspection.
- Versatile Across Project Types - Compatibility with solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products makes this hanger a practical choice for residential and commercial structural framing jobs where material specifications may vary across the build.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size beam is the HB310 designed to support?
The HB310 is specifically designed for use with 3x10 heavy beam framing members, as indicated by its model designation.
How does the top-flange design benefit installation?
The top-flange design allows the HB310 to install over the top of the supporting member, making placement easier and more accurate during framing. The full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and maintain alignment under load.
What types of wood framing is the HB310 compatible with?
The HB310 is engineered for use in both solid sawn and engineered wood framing applications, making it versatile for a range of structural framing assemblies requiring medium to high load capacity.
What finish options are available on the HB310?
The HB310 comes standard with a galvanized finish for corrosion resistance. A hot-dip galvanized finish is also available as an option for enhanced corrosion protection in more demanding environments.
