The Simpson HB7.12/9.25 Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam is a premium one-piece top-flange connector engineered to carry medium to high loads in solid sawn and engineered wood applications. Designed for heavy beam installations, this hanger features a full-height joist flange that captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation - delivering structural reliability and installation efficiency in a single, cost-effective component. Manufactured from 10 gauge steel with a galvanized finish, the HB7.12/9.25 offers a durable, corrosion-resistant solution that outperforms traditional welded hangers at a lower overall cost.

Key Features
