Product Description
The Simpson HB7.12/22 Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam is a heavy-duty, top-flange connector built to support medium to high loads in solid sawn and engineered wood framing applications. Constructed from 10-gauge steel with a galvanized finish, this one-piece hanger delivers reliable structural performance for heavy beam installations in both residential and commercial framing, offering a cost-effective alternative to welded connection hardware without compromising load-carrying integrity.
Key Features
- Top-Flange Design - Sits atop the supporting member for straightforward installation, reducing labor time and simplifying alignment during heavy beam framing.
- Full-Height Joist Flange - Captures the top chord of the joist to actively resist rotation, keeping connections stable and structurally sound under medium to high load conditions.
- 10-Gauge Steel Construction - Provides the structural rigidity required for demanding heavy beam connections in both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood product applications.
- Galvanized Finish - Offers corrosion resistance suitable for a broad range of framing environments, with a hot-dip galvanized option available for applications requiring enhanced protection.
- Broad Application Compatibility - Approved for use with solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products, making this hanger a versatile choice across residential and commercial structural framing projects.
Why This Product
- Engineered for Heavy Beam Work - Designed specifically for heavy beam installations, this hanger handles medium to high loads in both solid sawn and engineered wood framing, covering a wide range of structural applications with a single hardware solution.
- Simplified Installation Without Structural Trade-Offs - The top-flange configuration lets installers set the hanger in place before fastening, streamlining the framing process while maintaining full load transfer performance.
- Finish Options for Different Job Site Conditions - The standard galvanized finish suits most framing environments, and a hot-dip galvanized upgrade is available for projects where enhanced corrosion resistance is needed.
- American-Made Quality from Simpson - Produced domestically by Simpson, a widely trusted name in structural connectors, giving buyers confidence in consistent manufacturing standards for critical load-bearing connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of framing applications is the HB7.12/22 designed for?
The HB7.12/22 is engineered for use in both solid sawn and engineered wood framing applications, making it suitable for a wide range of heavy beam installations that require medium to high load capacity.
How does the top-flange design benefit installation?
The top-flange design allows the hanger to sit atop the supporting member, which simplifies installation and provides superior load transfer. The full-height joist flange also captures the top chord of the joist to actively resist rotation and maintain structural alignment throughout the connection.
What material and finish is the HB7.12/22 made from?
The hanger is formed from a single piece of 10-gauge steel with a standard galvanized finish that provides corrosion resistance for a wide range of construction environments. For applications requiring enhanced corrosion protection, a hot-dip galvanized finish option is also available.
How does one-piece construction compare to welded hangers?
Because the HB7.12/22 is formed from a single piece of steel rather than assembled from multiple welded components, it offers a cost-effective alternative to welded hangers without sacrificing the structural performance required for heavy beam connections.
