Product Description
The Simpson Welded Top-Flange Joist Hanger WP28 is built to provide dependable joist support on purlins or beams across a wide range of structural framing conditions. Engineered by Simpson for wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and cold-formed steel applications, this welded top-flange hanger handles both skewed and sloped installations with equal confidence, making it a practical solution for straightforward and complex framing layouts alike.
Key Features
- Welded top-flange design fits 2 in. x 8 in. joists - provides a precise, secure seat for the joist, reducing movement and ensuring consistent load transfer at the connection point.
- Compatible with wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and cold-formed steel framing - gives contractors flexibility to use one hanger type across multiple structural configurations on the same job site.
- Skewable up to 84 deg. - accommodates severely angled framing conditions without requiring custom fabrication, saving time during layout and installation.
- Slopeable up to 45 deg. - supports pitched or ramped framing scenarios, expanding the range of applications this single hanger can address.
- 97 mil (12 ga.) stirrup construction - delivers a robust, heavy-gauge connection that stands up to demanding structural loads in permanent construction.
- Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint finish, with hot-dip galvanized available as a custom order - allows specifiers to match finish requirements to the exposure conditions of the project.
Why This Product
- Exceptional angle range in a single hanger - with skew capability up to 84 deg. and slope capacity up to 45 deg., this hanger eliminates the need to source multiple specialized connectors for complex framing geometry.
- Broad material compatibility - approved for wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and cold-formed steel joist and beam connections, this hanger adapts to the structural materials already on site rather than dictating your framing choices.
- Heavy-gauge welded construction for lasting reliability - the 97 mil (12 ga.) stirrup is welded, not folded, delivering a stronger, more rigid connection that holds its geometry under load over the life of the structure.
- Trusted Simpson engineering - backed by Simpson, a recognized name in structural connectors, giving builders and inspectors confidence in performance and code-compliance documentation.
