Product Description
The Simpson Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam 7x28 is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered to handle medium to high loads in both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood framing applications. Built as a top-flange hanger, it installs over the top chord of the supporting member, delivering a secure, rotation-resistant connection that maintains structural integrity in demanding heavy beam installations.
Key Features
- Top-Flange Installation - Mounts over the top chord of the supporting member rather than face-mounting, giving installers a cleaner, more stable connection point in heavy beam framing assemblies.
- Full-Height Joist Flange - Captures the top chord of the joist completely, actively preventing rotation and keeping the beam properly aligned under load.
- Medium to High Load Capacity - Rated for demanding structural connections in both residential and commercial construction, making it suitable for beam-to-beam and beam-to-header applications where load performance is critical.
- Compatibility with Engineered Wood Products - Designed to work with solid sawn lumber and engineered wood framing, giving builders flexibility across a wide range of project types without sourcing a different connector.
- Galvanized Finish with Hot-Dip Option Available - The standard galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for typical installations, while a hot-dip galvanized finish is available for environments requiring a higher level of protection.
- One-Piece Construction - Formed from a single piece of 10 gauge steel, eliminating welded joints and reducing potential failure points while keeping the connector cost-effective for large framing projects.
Why This Product
- Purpose-Built for 7x28 Heavy Beam Applications - The HB series is specifically sized and engineered for heavy beam framing, meaning the connector fits correctly and performs as intended without field modification or guesswork.
- Rotation Prevention Built Into the Design - The top-flange configuration with full-height joist flange addresses one of the most common structural vulnerabilities in beam connections, keeping assemblies stable over the life of the structure.
- Versatile Across Lumber Types - Approved for both solid sawn and engineered wood product framing, this hanger adapts to the materials on the job site rather than requiring a separate connector for each application.
- Domestic Manufacturing from Simpson - Produced in the United States by Simpson, a recognized name in structural connectors, supporting quality consistency for code-sensitive residential and commercial framing projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of hanger is the HB7.12/28?
The HB7.12/28 is a top-flange hanger, meaning it is designed to install over the top of the supporting member rather than face-mounting to it. This configuration provides a secure connection and helps prevent joist rotation.
What beam sizes is this hanger designed for?
The HB7.12/28 is specifically designed for use with 7x28 heavy beam applications as indicated by its model designation.
Is the HB7.12/28 compatible with engineered wood products?
Yes. The HB series is designed to carry medium to high loads for both solid sawn and engineered wood applications.
Is a hot-dip galvanized finish available?
Yes. While the standard finish is galvanized, the HB7.12/28 may be ordered hot-dip galvanized for applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance.
