The Simpson BA414 Top-Flange Joist Hanger is built for structural framing professionals who need reliable, load-rated connections between 4x14 nominal joist members and a supporting header or beam. Part of the Simpson BA series, this hanger performs across both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products - delivering medium load capacity with traditional framing lumber and higher load capacity when paired with LVL, PSL, LSL, or similar engineered lumber. The positive-angle nailing (PAN) design gives installers the flexibility to apply minimum nailing for moderate load conditions or maximum nailing to meet heavier structural demands, all from a single 12-gauge G90 galvanized steel hanger.

Key Features

• Cost-effective one-piece design - eliminates the added expense and complexity of welded hangers while maintaining structural performance
• Full-height joist flange - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and remove the need for web stiffeners, simplifying the overall framing assembly
• Positive-angle nailing (PAN) - allows minimum nailing for moderate loads or maximum nailing for higher loads, giving installers load-level flexibility with a single hanger model
• Compatible with both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products - supports medium loads in traditional framing and higher loads with engineered lumber, making it adaptable across project types
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides the rigidity and durability required for structural joist connections in demanding framing applications
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers corrosion resistance suited to a wide range of installation environments, extending the service life of the connection
• Available modified for sloped and/or skewed members - accommodates non-standard framing angles, reducing the need to source specialty hangers for complex roof or floor framing conditions

Why This Product

• One hanger, two load scenarios - the PAN design lets you scale nailing from minimum to maximum depending on load requirements, so the same hanger works for moderate and heavier structural connections without switching products
• Rotation prevention built in - the full-height joist flange holds the joist in place and eliminates the need for web stiffeners, cutting down on both labor and additional hardware at each connection point
• Engineered wood ready - the BA414 is specifically suited for use with LVL, PSL, LSL, and similar engineered lumber, making it a natural fit for modern framing assemblies where engineered wood products are standard
• Durable one-piece construction at a practical cost - the single-piece stamped design avoids the cost premium of welded alternatives while still meeting the structural demands of 4x14 joist-to-beam connections in residential and light commercial framing

Installation

Install with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the header and 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist. Use minimum nailing with positive-angle nailing (PAN) for moderate load conditions, or maximum nailing to support higher loads.

Options

• Other widths are available; specify W dimension (the minimum W dimension is 1 9/16").
  
• For modified hangers, fastener quantity listed in tables may need to increase depending on joist size, skew and slope. All modified hangers are 12 ga.
• Hangers may be modified for slopes and/or skews up to 45 deg.. The top flanges may be sloped as much as 35 deg. and may be open or closed up to 30 deg.. See Modifications and Associated Load Reductions under Specifications
