Product Description
The Simpson 1-3/4 x 16 Welded Top-Flange Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty connector engineered to support joists on purlins or beams across a wide range of residential and commercial framing applications. Built by Simpson, this top-flange hanger handles wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and cold-formed steel connections, giving structural framers a single reliable solution for varied job site conditions. The welded construction and generous skew and slope allowances make this hanger a practical choice wherever precise load transfer and framing flexibility are both required.
Key Features
- Skew capacity up to 84 deg. - accommodates sharply angled framing layouts without requiring custom cutting or additional hardware, saving time on complex structural assemblies
- Slope capacity up to 45 deg. - supports pitched roof and floor framing conditions, reducing the need for field modifications on sloped applications
- Multi-substrate compatibility - approved for wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and cold-formed steel framing applications, so one hanger model covers a broad spectrum of structural connections on the same project
- Welded top-flange design - transfers loads efficiently through the top of the supporting member, providing secure joist-to-purlin or joist-to-beam connections in both residential and commercial framing
- 12 ga. stirrup material - delivers the structural rigidity needed for dependable performance in demanding load conditions
- Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint finish - provides corrosion resistance suitable for typical interior and protected structural applications
