Product Description
The Simpson PF26B PFB Galvanized Post-Frame Hanger for 2x6 is a top-flange joist hanger engineered by Simpson specifically for post-frame construction. Dome-shaped joist nail holes guide nails into the proper installation angle, while a folded seat raises the 2x6 joist slightly above the seat radius to enable a tighter connection to the back of the hanger. The result is a structurally sound, corrosion-resistant connector that installs quickly and accurately - making it a dependable choice for pole barn framing, agricultural buildings, and other post-frame applications.
Key Features
- Solid one-piece top flange - eliminates assembly steps and keeps the hanger correctly positioned during installation, saving time on the job.
- Installation prongs - hold the hanger in place before nailing so you can work efficiently without needing a second set of hands.
- Double-shear nailing design - distributes the load across two points on each joist, delivering greater strength with fewer nails than a standard single-shear connection.
- Dome-shaped joist nail holes - guide nails into the proper angle automatically, reducing the chance of misdriven fasteners and improving connection integrity.
- Folded seat design - raises the 2x6 joist slightly above the seat radius for a tighter fit against the back of the hanger, resulting in a more secure and precise connection.
- 20-gauge steel construction with G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides the structural reliability and corrosion resistance needed for demanding post-frame environments.
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for post-frame construction - unlike general-purpose joist hangers, this hanger is specifically designed for the demands of post-frame framing, with features like dome-shaped nail holes and a folded seat that work together to produce tighter, more reliable 2x6 joist connections.
- Faster installation without sacrificing accuracy - the one-piece top flange and self-positioning installation prongs let framers set and nail the hanger quickly, reducing labor time on repetitive connections throughout a structure.
- Strong connections with a streamlined fastening schedule - the double-shear nailing design achieves greater load distribution across each joist using fewer nails, keeping fastener costs and installation effort low without compromising structural performance.
- Built to resist corrosion in real-world conditions - the G90 zinc galvanized finish is well suited to the moisture-prone environments common in agricultural and post-frame buildings, helping the hanger maintain its performance over time.
