Product Description
The Simpson HB5.12/16 Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam 5x16 is a purpose-built structural connector designed to handle medium to high loads in both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood product framing assemblies. Engineered by Simpson for heavy beam installations, this top-flange hanger mounts to the top chord of the supported member, delivering clean and efficient load transfer while actively preventing rotation - making it a reliable choice for demanding residential and commercial structural framing applications.
Key Features
- Top-Flange Mounting - Attaches to the top chord of the supported member rather than the face, allowing for cleaner installation and more efficient load transfer in beam-to-header and beam-to-beam connections.
- Full-Height Joist Flange - Captures the top chord of the joist to actively prevent rotation and maintain alignment under medium to high load conditions, supporting long-term structural integrity.
- 10-Gauge Steel Construction - Heavy-gauge steel provides the strength and rigidity required for demanding heavy beam applications in both residential and commercial framing systems.
- Galvanized Finish - Offers corrosion resistance across a broad range of structural environments, helping extend the service life of the connection.
- Sized for 5x16 Beam Applications - Precisely dimensioned to fit 5x16 members, ensuring a secure, properly fitting connection without modification or guesswork on the job site.
- Compatible with Solid Sawn and Engineered Wood Products - Approved for use across multiple framing material types, giving builders flexibility in mixed-material or engineered wood framing assemblies.
Why This Product
- Built for Heavy-Duty Load Transfer - Designed specifically for medium to high load carrying applications, this hanger is well suited for structural connections where reliable performance under significant load is essential.
- Rotation Prevention Built In - The full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist, reducing the risk of member rotation and helping maintain alignment throughout the life of the structure.
- Broad Application Compatibility - Approved for solid sawn lumber and engineered wood product framing assemblies alike, this hanger supports a wide range of beam-to-header and beam-to-beam connection scenarios in both residential and commercial construction.
- American-Made by Simpson - Produced in the United States by Simpson, a trusted name in structural connectors, providing builders and engineers confidence in consistent quality and manufacturing standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What beam size is the HB5.12/16 designed to support?
The HB5.12/16 is sized specifically for 5x16 beam applications, making it suited for heavy beam installations where substantial loads must be transferred in both solid sawn and engineered wood systems.
How does the top-flange design differ from a standard face-mount hanger?
Unlike face-mount hangers, the HB5.12/16 mounts to the top chord of the supported member, allowing for clean and efficient load transfer without relying on face-mounted hardware. The full-height joist flange also captures the top chord of the joist to actively prevent rotation and maintain alignment under load.
What material and finish is used on the HB5.12/16?
The HB5.12/16 is formed from a single piece of 10-gauge steel and features a standard galvanized finish that provides corrosion resistance for a broad range of structural environments.
Is the HB5.12/16 compatible with engineered wood products?
Yes, the HB5.12/16 is approved for use with both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood applications, including beam-to-header and beam-to-beam connections.
