The Simpson S/LBV4.18/10 High-Capacity Top-Flange Hanger is a precision-engineered cold-formed steel connector from Simpson Strong-Tie, built to deliver reliable joist support in demanding CFS framing applications. Designed to carry double 2 in. x 10 in. cold-formed steel joists, this top-flange hanger installs to structural steel or cold-formed steel beams, making it a versatile choice for light-gauge steel construction where strength, accuracy, and code compliance are non-negotiable.

Key Features

• Precision-formed top-flange design - ensures dimensional accuracy and proper bearing area so joists seat correctly every time, reducing installation errors on the jobsite.
• High-capacity construction with 14 ga. (68 mil) steel - provides the structural strength needed to handle demanding load requirements in cold-formed steel framing systems.
• Multiple attachment methods supported - connects to cold-formed steel members with screws or to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds, giving installers flexibility across different site conditions.
• Load-rated, tested, and code listed - gives engineers, contractors, and inspectors confidence that the hanger meets established performance standards for CFS applications.
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers corrosion resistance that helps extend the service life of the connection in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
• Designed specifically for (2) 2 in. x 10 in. cold-formed steel joists - purpose-built sizing means the hanger fits as intended without field modification, keeping the installation straightforward and structurally sound.

Why This Product

• Engineered for CFS jobsites from the ground up - Simpson Strong-Tie designed this hanger specifically for cold-formed steel framing, so the geometry, gauge, and attachment options are matched to the real-world demands of light-gauge steel construction rather than adapted from wood-framing hardware.
• Flexibility without compromising performance - the ability to attach via screws, powder-actuated fasteners, or welds means this hanger fits into a wide range of structural steel and cold-formed steel beam conditions, keeping the same load-rated connector working across varied project types.
• Built-in quality assurance - precision forming and rigorous quality control mean each hanger delivers consistent dimensions, so bearing areas and connections perform as designed without requiring field corrections.
• Code-listed confidence on every project - being load-rated and code listed means this connector supports documentation and inspection requirements, helping projects move through approval processes without uncertainty over the hanger's structural credentials.
