The Simpson Double 1-1/2 x 11-7/8 Welded Top-Flange Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered to support joists on purlins or beams across residential and commercial framing projects. Built by Simpson for wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and cold-formed steel framing applications, this top-flange hanger accommodates skewed installations up to 84 deg. and sloped installations up to 45 deg., giving contractors and builders the angular flexibility needed to handle complex framing conditions without sourcing multiple connector types.

Key Features

• Double 1-1/2 x 11-7/8 welded top-flange design - provides robust load support for larger joist members, reducing the need for supplemental blocking or additional hardware in demanding structural assemblies
• Compatible with wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and cold-formed steel connections - gives builders a single versatile hanger that works across multiple framing systems and material types on the same job site
• Skew adjustment up to 84 deg. - handles sharply angled joist runs that would otherwise require custom or labor-intensive framing solutions
• Slope adjustment up to 45 deg. - allows secure installation on pitched or sloped framing conditions, expanding the range of applications where this hanger performs reliably
• 97 mil (12 ga.) steel stirrup construction - delivers the material thickness required for high-load structural connections while maintaining a manageable profile during installation
• Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint finish - provides baseline corrosion resistance for standard indoor and protected framing environments right out of the box

Why This Product

• Engineered for multi-system compatibility - supporting wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and cold-formed steel framing in a single connector means fewer SKUs to manage and greater flexibility on mixed-material projects
• Exceptional angular range in one hanger - with skew capability up to 84 deg. and slope capability up to 45 deg., this hanger addresses a wide spectrum of non-standard joist orientations that would otherwise demand specialty hardware
• Heavy-gauge steel construction built for structural demands - the 97 mil (12 ga.) steel stirrup provides the material integrity needed for load-bearing joist connections in both residential and commercial framing applications
• Backed by Simpson, a trusted name in structural connectors - specifying a Simpson product means working with a connector that engineering teams and building inspectors routinely recognize in structural framing contexts
