The Simpson S/LBV3.38/8 High-Capacity Top-Flange Hanger from Simpson Strong-Tie is a precision-formed cold-formed steel joist hanger engineered to support double 1-5/8 in. x 8 in. cold-formed steel joists in demanding structural applications. Built from 14-gauge (68 mil) steel with a Zinc Galvanized, G90 finish, this top-flange connector installs to structural steel or cold-formed steel beams and delivers the load-rated, code-listed performance that commercial and light-gauge steel framing projects require.

Key Features

• Precision-forming and rigorous quality control - ensures dimensional accuracy and proper bearing area, reducing the risk of misalignment and installation errors on the jobsite
• High-capacity, top-flange design - transfers loads efficiently from double cold-formed steel joists to the supporting beam, making it suitable for structurally demanding CFS floor and ceiling systems
• Compatible with screws, powder-actuated fasteners, or welds - provides installation flexibility whether you are attaching to cold-formed steel members or structural steel beams
• Load-rated, tested, and code listed - gives engineers, inspectors, and contractors confidence that the connection meets recognized performance standards without additional field verification
• Made from 14-gauge (68 mil) steel - delivers the structural thickness needed for high-capacity light-gauge framing connections without excessive material bulk
• Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating - protects against corrosion in typical interior cold-formed steel construction environments, supporting long-term connection integrity

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for double cold-formed steel joists - the S/LBV3.38/8 is specifically sized and engineered for (2) 1-5/8 in. x 8 in. CFS joists, eliminating the guesswork of adapting a generic hanger to light-gauge framing applications
• Multi-substrate installation - the ability to fasten to either cold-formed steel or structural steel with screws, powder-actuated fasteners, or welds makes this hanger a versatile choice across a range of mixed-structure project conditions
• Simpson Strong-Tie engineering and code compliance - load-rated and code-listed status means this connector comes backed by documented testing, simplifying the approval process for inspectors and design professionals
• Corrosion-resistant G90 galvanized finish on heavy-gauge steel - the combination of 14-gauge thickness and G90 galvanization delivers a connector built to maintain structural performance over the life of the building
