Product Description
The 1 1/2 x 11 7/8 Welded Top-Flange Joist Hanger from Simpson is built to support joists on purlins or beams across a broad range of structural framing conditions. Engineered for wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and cold-formed steel connections, this top-flange hanger handles skewed and sloped installations with equal confidence, giving contractors and engineers a single, dependable connector for complex framing layouts.
Key Features
- Accepts skew up to 84 deg. - tackles sharp angle framing conditions without requiring custom fabrication on the job site, keeping projects on schedule.
- Accepts slope up to 45 deg. - handles steep roof and floor framing pitches in a single connector, eliminating the need for specialized alternatives on sloped applications.
- Multi-application compatibility - approved for wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and cold-formed steel framing, so one hanger model covers a wide variety of structural scenarios.
- 12 ga. stirrup material - provides a robust, high-gauge steel body sized for 1 1/2 in. x 11 7/8 in. joists, delivering the load-carrying capacity demanding structural applications require.
- Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint finish - offers a consistent, corrosion-resistant coating suited to protected interior framing environments, with hot-dip galvanized options available for projects requiring enhanced corrosion resistance.
- Welded top-flange design - transfers load directly through the top flange, allowing the hanger to seat flush against the carrying member and supporting a clean, structurally sound connection.
Why This Product
- Unmatched angular range in one connector - the ability to skew up to 84 deg. and slope up to 45 deg. simultaneously means this hanger adapts to the most demanding framing geometries without requiring multiple product solutions.
- Verified cross-material versatility - with approved applications spanning wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and cold-formed steel connections, this hanger reduces the number of SKUs a framing crew needs to stock for mixed-material projects.
- Purpose-built for joist-on-purlin and joist-on-beam conditions - the welded top-flange construction is specifically engineered for these connection types, ensuring the right load path and a secure, code-consistent installation.
- Backed by Simpson engineering - produced domestically under the quality standards Simpson is known for, this hanger carries the design integrity that structural engineers and general contractors rely on for load-bearing applications.
