Product Description
The Simpson HB5.12/18 Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam 5x18 is a professionally engineered top-flange hanger built for medium to high load-bearing connections in heavy beam framing applications. Designed for compatibility with both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products, this one-piece stamped hanger delivers a structurally reliable connection at beam-to-header and beam-to-beam joints in residential and commercial construction. Its full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist, preventing rotation and maintaining alignment where structural integrity matters most.
Key Features
- Top-Flange Design - Seats the hanger at the top of the supporting member, allowing for a flush, clean installation in heavy beam framing without the need for additional blocking or support
- Full-Height Joist Flange - Captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and maintain alignment, protecting the long-term structural integrity of the connection under demanding load conditions
- One-Piece Stamped Construction - Single-piece design eliminates the inconsistencies associated with welded alternatives, offering a cost-effective and consistent connector for heavy beam applications
- 10-Gauge Steel with Galvanized Finish - Heavy-gauge steel provides the strength required for medium to high load capacities, while the galvanized finish adds corrosion resistance for lasting performance
- Broad Framing Compatibility - Suitable for solid sawn lumber and engineered wood product framing systems, making it a versatile choice across a wide range of structural hanger applications
Why This Product
- Engineered for Heavy Loads - Purpose-built for medium to high load-bearing connections, this hanger is a dependable choice for structural framing where undersized connectors are not an option
- Versatile Across Framing Systems - Compatibility with both solid sawn and engineered wood products means this top-flange hanger fits naturally into a wide variety of residential and commercial framing projects without requiring a different connector for each application
