The Simpson Double 2-5/16x14 Welded Top-Flange Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered by Simpson to support joists on purlins or beams across a wide range of framing applications. Built from 97 mil (12 ga.) steel with a welded top-flange design, this hanger delivers reliable performance in wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and cold-formed steel connections, making it a go-to choice for contractors and builders who need a single connector that adapts to demanding structural conditions.

Key Features

• Top-flange welded construction with 97 mil (12 ga.) steel stirrup - provides a rigid, high-strength connection point that maintains structural integrity under load without requiring additional field fabrication
• Compatible with wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and cold-formed steel applications - gives installers the flexibility to use one connector type across multiple framing systems and materials
• Skew capability up to 84 deg. - accommodates angled framing layouts so installers can handle off-square conditions without custom fabrication
• Slope capability up to 45 deg. - supports pitched roof and floor framing configurations, reducing the need for specialty hardware on sloped assemblies
• Standard Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint finish - provides a durable factory-applied coating suited for typical interior and protected structural applications
• Designed for joist support on purlins or beams - addresses a broad set of load-bearing scenarios in both residential and commercial framing

Why This Product

• Exceptional installation versatility in a single connector - the combination of up to 84 deg. skew and up to 45 deg. slope adjustment means this hanger handles complex framing geometry that would otherwise require multiple bracket types or field modifications
• Broad material compatibility reduces procurement complexity - approved for wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and cold-formed steel structural connections, this hanger fits across project types without requiring installers to source separate products for each framing condition
• Heavy-gauge welded construction supports demanding load applications - the 97 mil (12 ga.) steel stirrup and welded assembly deliver the structural capacity needed for joist support on purlins or beams in load-bearing framing
• Backed by Simpson engineering and domestic production - manufactured in the United States and produced under the quality standards associated with Simpson, this connector meets expectations for consistency and reliability on professional job sites
