Product Description
The Simpson HB316 Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam 3x16 is built to deliver reliable structural performance in demanding beam-to-header connections. Designed by Simpson for use with solid sawn lumber and engineered wood, this heavy beam hanger seats over the carrying member from above, combining secure installation with the load-carrying capacity required for medium to high load-bearing applications. Its one-piece 10 gauge steel construction with a galvanized finish makes it a practical, durable solution for residential and commercial structural framing projects alike.
Key Features
- Top-flange design seats over the carrying member - allows the hanger to install from above without the need to toenail, speeding up installation and improving connection stability
- Full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist - actively prevents rotation at the top chord, maintaining alignment and structural integrity under load
- One-piece 10 gauge steel construction - eliminates the weak points associated with welded hangers while keeping costs down without sacrificing strength
- Galvanized steel finish - provides corrosion resistance to help the hanger hold up in moisture-prone framing environments
- Compatible with solid sawn lumber and engineered wood - gives builders and contractors flexibility across a wide range of beam and joist applications
- Sized for a 3x16 heavy beam - delivers a precise, full-depth fit for substantial structural connections where an undersized hanger is not an option
Why This Product
- One-piece construction keeps costs in check - by eliminating the need for welded assemblies, this hanger offers a cost-effective path to strong, reliable beam-to-header connections without compromising on structural performance
- Built for heavy-duty applications from the ground up - the HB316 is specifically engineered to carry medium to high loads, making it a fit-for-purpose choice rather than a general-purpose hanger pressed into a demanding role
- Rotation prevention is built into the design - the full-height joist flange actively controls top chord movement, reducing the risk of structural misalignment over the life of the connection
- Versatile enough for both lumber and engineered wood - whether the project calls for solid sawn beams or engineered lumber, the HB316 is approved for both, reducing the need to source different hangers for different framing scenarios

Frequently Asked Questions
What beam size is the HB316 designed to fit?
The HB316 is sized for a 3x16 heavy beam, making it suitable for substantial structural connections where a full-depth hanger is required.
What types of wood applications is the HB316 compatible with?
The HB316 is compatible with both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood applications, making it a versatile choice for a range of beam-to-header connections in residential and commercial construction.
What material and finish is the HB316 made from?
The HB316 is manufactured from 10 gauge steel with a galvanized finish for corrosion resistance. For enhanced corrosion protection in more demanding environments, it may also be ordered hot-dip galvanized.
How does the one-piece construction of the HB316 compare to welded hangers?
The HB316's one-piece construction offers a cost-effective alternative to welded hangers while still delivering the structural strength needed for medium to high load-bearing applications. The full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation, providing reliable performance without the added expense of welded designs.
