Product Description
The Simpson 2 x 14 Top Flange Joist Hanger is a cost-effective, top-flange hanger engineered by Simpson for solid sawn lumber framing applications. Designed to support light-to-medium loads while delivering reliable uplift resistance, this 18-gauge steel hanger handles the demands of earthquake and high-wind loading environments with confidence. Optional triangular nail holes allow for maximum nailing to increase allowable loads, giving framers added flexibility when working with 2x14 joists in residential and commercial structural applications.
Key Features
- Unique two-level embossment provides added stiffness to the top flange - reinforces the hanger against racking and deflection, so the connection stays rigid under load.
- Nail locations that enable effective use with nailers - speeds up installation and helps crews maintain consistent fastening patterns without switching tools.
- Additional load rating for a 2x or 3x nailer - gives builders the option to increase allowable loads when a nailer is incorporated, adding design flexibility for heavier framing layouts.
- Engineered with increased uplift loads for earthquake or high-wind loading - meets the structural demands of seismic and high-wind zones, making it a dependable choice where code requirements are strict.
- 1-9/16 in. seat width sized for nominal 2x14 lumber - ensures a precise, snug fit that eliminates guesswork and supports consistent joist alignment across a framing project.
- Made from 18-gauge steel - provides a strong, durable foundation that holds up under the sustained stresses of structural framing applications.
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance, extending the service life of the hanger in moisture-prone or outdoor framing conditions.
Why This Product
- Built-in uplift capacity for demanding environments - the JB214A is specifically engineered with increased uplift loads, making it a practical choice for framing projects in seismic zones or high-wind regions where standard hangers may fall short.
- Cost-effective performance for light-to-medium load applications - Simpson designed this top-flange hanger to deliver reliable structural support without overengineering, so builders get the right hanger at the right value for 2x14 joist installations.
- Nailer-compatible design that boosts load capacity when needed - the option to add a 2x or 3x nailer for an increased load rating means this hanger adapts to more complex framing scenarios without requiring a different product.
- G90 galvanized protection for long-term durability - the zinc galvanized finish guards against corrosion in the conditions solid sawn lumber framing projects commonly face, supporting a connection that holds up over the life of the structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size joist is the JB214A designed to support?
The JB214A is designed for a nominal 2x14 joist size, with a seat width of 1-9/16 in. and a height of 13-1/8 in.
What fasteners are required to install the JB214A?
Install with (6) 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the header and (2) 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist. Note that ledgers must be evaluated for each application separately, and top-flange dimension, nail length, and nail location on the ledger should be checked.
What gauge steel is used in the JB214A, and how is it protected against corrosion?
The JB214A is made from 18-gauge steel and features a G90 zinc galvanized coating, which provides extra corrosion resistance for long-lasting performance.
Can the JB214A be used in high-wind or seismic load conditions?
Yes. The JB214A is engineered with increased uplift loads specifically to meet the demands of earthquake or high-wind loading environments, making it suitable for these critical structural applications.
