Product Description
The Simpson WP414 Welded Top-Flange Joist Hanger is built to support joists on purlins or beams in both wood-to-wood and wood-to-steel framing applications. This top-flange hanger stands out for its exceptional flexibility, accommodating skewed and sloped framing configurations that would challenge a standard fixed hanger. Its economical design requires only a small number of nails to achieve maximum download capacity, helping keep installed costs low without compromising structural performance. The solid one-piece top flange delivers added stability in panelized roof construction, and the hanger is finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint for a consistent, professional appearance on the job site.
Key Features
- Skews up to 84 deg. and slopes up to 45 deg. - accommodates highly angled and complex framing layouts without requiring custom fabrication, saving time and labor on difficult installations.
- Top flange may be sloped to a maximum of 35 deg. - allows the hanger to pair with a sloped header, giving framers flexibility when working with non-level bearing conditions.
- Solid one-piece top flange construction - provides extra stability in panelized roof applications where consistent flange engagement is critical to system performance.
- Highly modifiable with alteration options including opened/closed top flange and offset top flange - lets contractors adapt a single hanger model to a variety of site conditions rather than sourcing multiple specialized connectors.
- Top flange made from 7-gauge steel; stirrup made from 12-gauge steel - the heavier top flange handles bearing loads at the connection point while the lighter stirrup keeps overall weight and material cost efficient.
- Compatible with wood-to-wood and wood-to-steel applications - one hanger covers two common structural scenarios, reducing the number of SKUs a contractor needs to keep on hand.
- Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish - provides a clean, uniform appearance and a baseline level of surface protection suitable for interior and protected framing environments.
Why This Product
- Unmatched angular flexibility for top-flange hangers - the ability to skew up to 84 deg. and slope up to 45 deg. makes this hanger a practical solution for roof framing, angled bays, and other configurations where standard hangers fall short.
- Low installed cost by design - the hanger achieves maximum download capacity with a small nail count, which directly reduces installation time and fastener expenses on larger framing projects.
- Adaptable across multiple application types - support for both wood-to-wood and wood-to-steel connections, combined with modifiable flange options, means this hanger can serve a wide range of structural conditions on a single job site.
- Purpose-built for panelized roof systems - the solid one-piece top flange addresses the specific stability demands of panelized roof construction, making this a dependable choice where flange integrity across repeated panel connections is essential.
