Product Description
The Simpson HB5.50/9.25 Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam is a Simpson engineered connector sized for 5-1/4 x 9-1/4 framing members, purpose-built to deliver reliable load transfer in solid sawn lumber and engineered wood heavy beam applications. Fabricated from 10-gauge steel with a standard galvanized finish, this one-piece hanger offers a structurally sound, cost-effective alternative to welded connectors wherever medium to high load capacity is required in demanding structural framing.
Key Features
- Top-flange design seats directly over the top chord - eliminates the need for face-nailing into the header, simplifying installation and reducing labor in tight framing situations
- Full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist - prevents rotation and maintains proper beam alignment under load, supporting long-term structural integrity
- One-piece 10-gauge steel construction - provides a cost-effective, high-strength solution without the added expense or variability of welded hanger assemblies
- Standard galvanized finish - offers corrosion resistance suited to a broad range of interior and protected structural framing environments
- Compatible with solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products - gives builders and engineers flexibility across a variety of heavy beam framing systems and project types
Why This Product
- Engineered specifically for heavy beam sizing - the 5-1/4 x 9-1/4 profile is matched precisely to the framing member, ensuring a secure, properly fitted connection rather than a generic approximation
- Simplifies structural connections without sacrificing capacity - the top-flange approach removes face-nailing from the installation sequence, making it a practical choice for framing scenarios where header access is limited
- One-piece construction reduces installed cost - by eliminating welded components, this Simpson hanger keeps both material and assembly costs lower while still meeting medium to high load-carrying demands
- Versatile finish options support different project requirements - the standard galvanized finish covers most structural applications, and a hot-dip galvanized option is available for environments where enhanced corrosion resistance is needed

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of framing members is the HB5.50/9.25 designed to support?
The HB5.50/9.25 is designed for use with solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products, making it suitable for a wide range of heavy beam framing applications.
Why does the HB hanger use a top-flange design?
The top-flange design allows the hanger to seat over the top chord of the framing member, eliminating the need for face-nailing into the header and simplifying installation in many structural scenarios.
What gauge steel is used in this hanger, and what finish does it come in?
The HB5.50/9.25 is fabricated from 10-gauge steel with a standard galvanized finish. It is also available hot-dip galvanized for applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance.
How does the full-height joist flange benefit the installation?
The full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist, preventing rotation and helping to maintain proper alignment and structural integrity under load.
