Product Description
The Simpson Welded Top-Flange Joist Hanger is purpose-built to support joists on purlins or beams, offering dependable structural performance across a broad range of framing conditions. Engineered by Simpson for wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and cold-formed steel applications, this welded top-flange hanger handles angled and sloped installations that standard hangers simply cannot accommodate - making it a go-to solution for complex structural framing projects.
Key Features
- Welded Top-Flange Design - provides a secure, rigid connection point that seats firmly on the supporting member, reducing movement during and after installation
- Skew Adjustment up to 84 deg. - accommodates sharply angled framing configurations, eliminating the need for custom fabrication in most skewed layouts
- Slope Capability up to 45 deg. - supports steeply pitched framing conditions, giving installers the flexibility to work with non-standard roof and floor geometries
- Multi-Material Compatibility - approved for wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and cold-formed steel connections, so one hanger type covers a wider range of job-site conditions
- 12 ga. Stirrup Construction - the 97 mil steel stirrup delivers the material strength needed for reliable load transfer in demanding structural applications
- Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint Finish - provides a consistent, protective coating suited for typical interior framing environments, with hot-dip galvanized available as a custom option for corrosive or exposed conditions
Why This Product
- Handles the framing conditions other hangers skip - with skew capacity up to 84 deg. and slope capacity up to 45 deg., this hanger is built for the irregular and angled connections that push standard hardware past its limits
- Versatile across connection types - approved for wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and cold-formed steel framing, this single hanger style can be specified confidently across multiple structural systems on the same project
- Backed by Simpson engineering - Simpson is a widely recognized name in structural connectors, and this welded top-flange joist hanger reflects the same design standards applied across their full line of load-rated hardware
- Domestically produced - manufactured in the United States, supporting consistent quality control and reliable material sourcing for structural applications where traceability matters
