Product Description
The Simpson HB7.12/26 Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam is a structural connector engineered for solid sawn and engineered wood beam applications where reliable, rotation-resistant connections are required. Its top-flange design positions it at the top chord of the joist, making it well-suited for heavy beam framing where load transfer and structural integrity are non-negotiable priorities.
Key Features
- Top-flange hanger design - positions the connector at the top of the beam, simplifying installation in applications where face-mounting is not practical and keeping the connection flush with framing members
- Full-height joist flange - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation, maintaining alignment and structural integrity at the connection point throughout the life of the assembly
- Sized for 7x26 heavy beam use - precisely dimensioned to fit the specified beam size, eliminating guesswork and reducing the risk of ill-fitting connections in demanding structural applications
- One-piece construction - delivers a cost-effective solution compared to welded hangers, reducing both material handling and installation complexity without sacrificing load-carrying performance
- Compatible with solid sawn lumber and engineered wood - supports a broad range of beam types, giving contractors flexibility across different framing systems and project specifications
- Galvanized steel finish - provides corrosion resistance suited to the demands of structural framing environments, helping protect the connection over time
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for heavy beam framing - designed specifically as a top-flange hanger for heavy beam applications, this connector addresses the structural demands of medium to high load connections where a standard hanger would fall short
- Rotation prevention built into the design - the full-height joist flange actively captures the top chord of the joist, a critical feature in heavy beam connections where lateral movement or rotation could compromise the entire assembly
- A practical alternative to welded connections - the one-piece design eliminates the need for welded hangers, reducing cost and installation time while still meeting the load requirements of heavy structural applications
- Broad application compatibility - approved for use with both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood beams, making this hanger a versatile choice for residential and commercial framing projects that involve varying beam materials
