Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie S/LBV4.18/6 is a high-capacity, top-flange hanger engineered specifically for cold-formed steel framing applications. Manufactured from 14-gauge (68 mil) steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this hanger is built to support (2) 2 in. x 6 in. cold-formed steel joists when connected to either structural steel or cold-formed steel beams. Precision forming and strict quality control deliver dimensional accuracy and reliable bearing performance on every job, while load-rated, tested, and code listed construction makes the S/LBV4.18/6 a dependable solution for demanding CFS structural connections.
Key Features
- Precision-formed design for dimensional accuracy - ensures proper bearing area and a consistent, reliable connection every time it is installed, reducing the risk of field fit-up issues.
- High-capacity, top-flange configuration - provides strong, code-compliant support for double cold-formed steel joist assemblies while keeping the hanger flush with the top of the supporting member for a cleaner framing profile.
- Versatile attachment options - attaches to cold-formed steel members with screws or to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds, giving contractors flexibility across a wide range of CFS jobsite conditions.
- Load-rated, tested, and code listed - gives engineers and inspectors the documentation they need for plan approval and project compliance, streamlining the review process.
- Made from 68 mil (14 ga.) steel - heavy-gauge construction delivers the structural integrity required for high-load cold-formed steel framing applications.
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - provides corrosion resistance to help the hanger maintain performance and appearance in demanding construction environments over the long term.
Why This Product
- Built specifically for cold-formed steel framing - unlike general-purpose hangers, the S/LBV4.18/6 is purpose-designed for CFS construction, with geometry and attachment methods tailored to the unique demands of light-gauge steel joists and beams.
- Dual-beam compatibility saves time on mixed-structure projects - the ability to fasten to both cold-formed steel members and structural steel using screws, powder-actuated fasteners, or welds means one hanger works across multiple connection scenarios without substitution or special coordination.
- Code listed status reduces project risk - being load-rated, tested, and code listed means the hanger comes with traceable performance data, helping projects move through inspections and engineering review with fewer complications.
- Heavy 14-gauge construction with corrosion protection - the combination of thick 68 mil steel and a G90 galvanized coating means this hanger is built to carry significant loads while resisting the corrosive conditions common on CFS job sites.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What joist size is the S/LBV4.18/6 designed to support?
- This hanger is specifically designed to support (2) 2 in. wide x 6 in. tall cold-formed steel joists. It is a double-joist hanger, so it accommodates two joists side by side rather than a single member.
- What beam types can this hanger attach to?
- The S/LBV4.18/6 can attach to either cold-formed steel beams or structural steel beams. When connecting to cold-formed steel members, screws are used. When connecting to structural steel, powder-actuated fasteners or welds are the appropriate attachment method.
- What gauge and finish is the S/LBV4.18/6 made from?
- This hanger is manufactured from 14-gauge (68 mil) steel and features a G90 zinc galvanized finish, which provides corrosion resistance for demanding construction environments.
- Is the S/LBV4.18/6 load-rated and code listed?
- Yes, the S/LBV4.18/6 is load-rated, tested, and code listed. For specific fastener requirements and load values by application, Simpson Strong-Tie recommends referring to their catalog or strongtie.com.
