The Simpson S/B 12 ga. High-Capacity Top-Flange Hanger for 1-5/8 in. x 10 in. Cold-Formed Steel Joist is a precision-engineered connector from Simpson built specifically for cold-formed steel framing applications. Manufactured from 97 mil (12 ga.) steel with a Zinc Galvanized, G90 finish, this top-flange hanger installs to structural steel or cold-formed steel beams to provide secure, load-rated support for cold-formed steel joists. Whether you are working on a large commercial CFS project or a smaller light-gauge framing job, the S/B hanger delivers the dimensional accuracy, structural reliability, and code-compliant performance that professional framing demands.

Key Features

• Precision-formed design provides dimensional accuracy - ensures proper bearing area and connection, reducing installation errors and supporting structural integrity across CFS framing applications.
• High-capacity, top-flange configuration manufactured with rigorous quality control - delivers consistent, dependable performance for demanding cold-formed steel construction projects of every scale.
• Versatile attachment options - accepts screws into cold-formed steel members or powder-actuated fasteners and welds to structural steel - giving installers flexibility across a range of beam types and site conditions.
• Load-rated, tested, and code listed - provides the performance documentation and compliance assurance required for professional CFS construction projects.
• Sized specifically for 1-5/8 in. width x 10 in. height cold-formed steel joists - eliminates guesswork and ensures a proper, secure fit with the intended joist profile.
• Made from 97 mil (12 ga.) steel - offers the heavy-gauge strength required to handle high-capacity loads in light-gauge steel framing systems.
• Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating - provides durable corrosion resistance suited to the demands of cold-formed steel framing environments.

Why This Product

• Engineered for cold-formed steel from the ground up - unlike general-purpose hangers, this connector is designed specifically for CFS joists and beams, with precision forming and quality control focused on the unique demands of light-gauge steel construction.
• Multi-substrate attachment versatility - the ability to fasten to both cold-formed steel members and structural steel beams with appropriate fastening methods makes this hanger adaptable to mixed-framing project conditions without requiring a separate connector.
• Code-listed with load ratings - backed by testing and code compliance documentation, this hanger gives contractors and engineers the confidence and paperwork support needed for inspections and structural sign-off on professional CFS projects.
• Built-in corrosion protection with G90 galvanizing - the Zinc Galvanized, G90 finish is applied at the manufacturing level, so the hanger arrives job-site ready with durable protection against corrosion, reducing long-term maintenance concerns in steel framing assemblies.
