Product Description
The Simpson HB5.12/26 Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam is a professionally engineered, one-piece top-flange hanger built to carry medium to high loads in solid sawn and engineered wood framing applications. Designed specifically for 5x26 heavy beam connections, this hanger delivers structural reliability and installation confidence in demanding framing scenarios where joist rotation prevention and load-carrying performance are critical.
Key Features
- Top-Flange Design - Integrates directly with the top chord of the supporting member, eliminating the need for face-mounting and simplifying installation in heavy beam framing layouts.
- Full-Height Joist Flange - Captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation, maintaining structural alignment and long-term reliability in demanding framing applications.
- One-Piece Construction - Provides a cost-effective alternative to welded hangers without sacrificing load-carrying performance, reducing material and labor costs on the job site.
- 10 Gauge Steel with Galvanized Finish - Delivers the heavy-duty strength required for medium to high load applications while offering corrosion resistance suited to structural framing environments.
- Broad Compatibility - Approved for use with both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood beams, making it a versatile solution across a wide range of heavy beam framing projects.
Why This Product
- Engineered for Heavy-Duty Performance - Built from 10 gauge steel and designed for medium to high load capacities, this top-flange hanger is well-suited for structural connections where strength and reliability cannot be compromised.
- Versatile Across Wood Framing Applications - Compatible with both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood, this heavy beam hanger adapts to a wide variety of framing scenarios without requiring specialty hardware for each application type.
- Rotation Prevention Built In - The full-height joist flange actively captures the top chord of the joist, reducing the risk of movement or misalignment and contributing to a safer, more stable structural connection.
