The Simpson 2-5/16 x 14 Top-Flange I-Joist Hanger is a welded, top-flange hanger designed to support joists on purlins or beams in a broad range of structural framing applications. Built by Simpson, this hanger handles wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and cold-formed steel connections with equal confidence, giving contractors a single dependable solution across multiple framing scenarios. Its capacity to skew up to 84 deg. and slope up to 45 deg. means complex framing geometries are addressed without compromising load transfer or structural integrity.

Key Features

• Top-flange welded design for joist support on purlins or beams - seats the joist securely from above, simplifying installation and reducing the risk of misalignment during framing.
• Compatible with wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and cold-formed steel connections - eliminates the need to source separate hangers for different framing materials, saving time and reducing on-site inventory.
• Skews up to 84 deg. - accommodates non-perpendicular joist runs without custom fabrication, keeping complex framing layouts on schedule.
• Slopes up to 45 deg. - handles pitched or angled joist applications that standard hangers cannot address, expanding the range of projects this single product can support.
• Stirrup constructed from 97 mil (12 ga.) steel - delivers robust material thickness that provides reliable load-carrying performance in demanding structural conditions.
• Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint finish as standard - provides a corrosion-resistant coating suited to typical interior framing environments, with hot-dip galvanized finish available as a custom option for more demanding exposure conditions.
• Efficient fastener requirements contribute to a low installed cost - fewer fasteners mean faster installation and reduced hardware spend per connection without sacrificing performance.

Why This Product

• One hanger, three connection types - the approval for wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and cold-formed steel framing means a single product covers the connection variety found across most commercial and residential structural projects.
• Exceptional angular flexibility - skew capacity up to 84 deg. and slope capacity up to 45 deg. make this hanger practical for roof, floor, and deck framing situations where geometry rarely stays simple.
• Welded construction from domestic-quality steel - the welded top-flange assembly and 97 mil (12 ga.) stirrup deliver a rigid, consistently manufactured connection point that performs predictably across repeated installations.
• Backed by Simpson engineering - Simpson is a widely recognized name in structural connectors, giving specifiers and inspectors confidence that the product meets the requirements of approved applications without additional verification hurdles.
