Product Description
The Simpson HB5.12/22 Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam 5x22 is a one-piece stamped steel connector designed to handle medium to high loads in both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood beam applications. Built from 10 gauge steel with a galvanized finish, this heavy beam hanger delivers dependable structural performance for top-flange installations where rotation control and alignment under load are critical requirements.
Key Features
- Top-Flange Design - Mounts to the top chord of the supporting member, eliminating face-nailing into the header and simplifying the installation process compared to standard face-mount hangers.
- Full-Height Joist Flange - Captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and maintain alignment under load, supporting structural integrity throughout the connection.
- 10 Gauge Steel Construction - Provides the material strength needed for medium to high load heavy beam applications, giving contractors confidence in demanding framing scenarios.
- One-Piece Construction - Formed as a single unit rather than welded together, reducing potential weak points and keeping installation straightforward on the job site.
- Galvanized Finish - Delivers general corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of structural framing environments, with an enhanced hot-dip galvanized option available for more demanding conditions.
- Broad Compatibility - Approved for use with solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products, making it a versatile choice across a variety of heavy beam connection scenarios.
Why This Product
- Simplified heavy beam installation - The top-flange mounting approach removes the need for face-nailing into the header, reducing installation steps and making it easier to achieve a secure, properly aligned connection on complex framing projects.
- Rotation prevention built in - The full-height joist flange actively captures the top chord of the joist, keeping beams stable and aligned under load without requiring additional hardware or bracing.
- Versatile across lumber types - Compatible with both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood beams, this hanger adapts to the materials already specified in the job rather than forcing material substitutions.
- Domestic Simpson quality in heavy gauge steel - Produced in the United States by Simpson and formed from 10 gauge steel, this connector is built to meet the structural demands of medium to high load heavy beam framing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of lumber is the HB5.12/22 compatible with?
The HB5.12/22 is suitable for use with both traditional solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products, making it versatile for a wide range of heavy beam applications.
How does the top-flange design simplify installation?
The top-flange design mounts to the top chord of the supporting member, eliminating the need for face-nailing into the header. This approach streamlines installation and reduces the steps required compared to standard face-mount hangers.
Is a more corrosion-resistant finish available for demanding environments?
Yes. While the HB5.12/22 comes with a standard galvanized coating for general corrosion resistance, a hot-dip galvanized finish option is also available for applications that require enhanced protection in more demanding environments.
Why is one-piece construction significant for this hanger?
The HB5.12/22 is formed from a single piece of steel, which provides a cost-effective alternative to welded hangers. This construction method maintains structural performance while reducing manufacturing complexity, delivering reliable load transfer without the added expense of welded alternatives.
