The Simpson HB5.12/26 Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam is a professionally engineered, one-piece top-flange hanger designed to carry medium to high loads in solid sawn and engineered wood applications. Built from 10 gauge steel with a galvanized finish, this heavy beam hanger features a full-height joist flange that captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation - delivering structural reliability and installation confidence in demanding framing scenarios. Its one-piece construction offers a cost-effective alternative to welded hangers without compromising load-carrying performance.

Key Features

• Top-Flange Design: Engineered as a top-flange hanger for seamless integration with the top chord of the supporting member
