Product Description
The Simpson Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam (5x11-7/8) is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered by Simpson to deliver reliable, high-load performance in both solid sawn and engineered wood framing applications. Built from 10 gauge steel with a standard galvanized finish, this top-flange hanger provides a strong, stable connection at beam-to-header and beam-to-beam junctions where structural integrity cannot be compromised.
Key Features
- Top-flange installation design - the hanger seats over the top of the supporting member, allowing for straightforward positioning and a secure fit without the need for complex rigging or temporary support during fastening
- Full-height joist flange - captures the top chord of the supported beam and actively resists rotation, helping maintain alignment and structural stability over the life of the connection
- 10 gauge steel construction - provides the rigidity and load-bearing capacity needed for medium to high structural loads, making this hanger well suited for heavy beam framing where lighter-gauge connectors would be inadequate
- Standard galvanized finish - offers corrosion resistance appropriate for typical construction environments, with a hot-dip galvanized option available for applications requiring enhanced protection
- Compatible with solid sawn and engineered wood - gives builders and contractors flexibility across a wide range of framing systems and lumber types without requiring a separate connector for each application
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for heavy beam applications - this connector is specifically sized and engineered for 5x11-7/8 members, so builders get a precise fit and confident load transfer rather than adapting a general-purpose hanger to a demanding application
- Versatile material compatibility - supporting both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products, this hanger works across modern framing systems, reducing the need to source multiple connector types for a single project
- American-made quality from a trusted brand - produced domestically by Simpson, a name widely recognized in structural connector manufacturing, this hanger meets the material and finish standards contractors rely on for code-compliant, inspection-ready work
- Finish options for demanding environments - beyond the standard galvanized finish, the availability of a hot-dip galvanized option means this same connector can be specified for projects where elevated corrosion resistance is required, avoiding the need to source an entirely different product

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of lumber is this hanger compatible with?
The HB5.12/11.88 is designed for use with both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products, making it versatile across a wide range of heavy beam framing applications.
What gauge steel is used in the HB5.12/11.88?
This hanger is fabricated from 10 gauge steel, providing the strength and rigidity needed to support medium to high structural loads.
How does the top-flange design benefit installation?
The top-flange configuration allows the hanger to sit over the top of the supporting member, simplifying installation and enabling the full-height joist flange to capture the top chord of the joist, which prevents rotation during and after installation.
Is a hot-dip galvanized finish available for this hanger?
Yes, while the standard finish is galvanized, the HB5.12/11.88 may be ordered with a hot-dip galvanized finish for enhanced corrosion protection in demanding environments.
