Product Description
The Simpson HB5.12/20 Top Flange Heavy Beam Hanger is a one-piece, top-flange hanger engineered for solid sawn lumber and engineered wood product framing applications where medium to high structural loads demand reliable, rotation-resistant beam connections. Sized specifically for 5x20 heavy beams, this galvanized 10-gauge steel hanger delivers the structural integrity and installation efficiency that demanding heavy beam projects require.
Key Features
- Top-Flange Mounting Design - Attaches to the top of the supporting member, allowing the hanger to be positioned before the beam is set and streamlining the installation sequence on heavy framing jobs.
- Full-Height Joist Flange - Captures the top chord of the supported member to prevent rotation, keeping large 5x20 beams correctly aligned under load for long-term structural integrity.
- 10-Gauge Steel Construction - Provides the heavy-duty strength needed to handle medium to high load connections without requiring welded fabrication, reducing hardware costs on the job.
- Galvanized Finish - Delivers corrosion resistance suited for structural framing environments where long-term durability of metal connectors is a priority.
- Broad Application Compatibility - Approved for both solid sawn lumber beam and joist connections and engineered wood product framing, giving builders flexibility across a wide range of modern structural systems.
- One-Piece Construction - Eliminates the complexity and cost of multi-part or welded hanger assemblies while maintaining the load performance required for heavy beam installations.
Why This Product
- Purpose-Built for 5x20 Heavy Beam Connections - Unlike general-purpose hangers, this connector is specifically sized for 5x20 members, ensuring a precise fit that supports proper load transfer and eliminates field-modification guesswork on large-scale framing.
- Rotation Prevention Built Into the Design - The full-height joist flange actively captures the top chord of the beam, a critical safety advantage in heavy beam installations where member rotation under load can compromise the entire connection.
- Versatile Across Lumber Types - Approved for both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products, this hanger accommodates the mixed-material framing common in contemporary structural construction without requiring separate connector specifications.
- American-Made Simpson Quality - Produced in the United States by Simpson, a name structural contractors rely on for consistent manufacturing standards and connector performance in demanding load applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What beam size is the HB5.12/20 designed to fit?
The HB5.12/20 is specifically sized for a 5x20 heavy beam, making it suitable for large solid sawn lumber or engineered wood members of that dimension.
Is this hanger compatible with engineered wood products?
Yes, the HB5.12/20 is approved for use with both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood product (EWP) framing applications, making it versatile for modern structural framing.
What material and finish is used on the HB5.12/20?
The hanger is formed from 10-gauge steel with a galvanized finish, which provides heavy-duty structural performance along with corrosion resistance for long-term durability.
What advantage does the top-flange design offer during installation?
The top-flange design allows the hanger to mount to the top of the supporting member, and its full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and maintain alignment - enabling a clean, efficient installation without the need for welded components.
