Product Description
The Simpson S/LBV1.68/10 is a high-capacity, top-flange hanger from Simpson Strong-Tie, purpose-built to support 1-5/8 in. wide by 10 in. tall cold-formed steel joists in demanding CFS framing applications. Manufactured from 68 mil (14-gauge) steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish for lasting corrosion resistance, this hanger installs to either cold-formed steel or structural steel beams using screws, powder-actuated fasteners, or welds - giving contractors the flexibility to adapt to real jobsite conditions. Precision forming and rigorous quality control ensure every unit delivers consistent dimensional accuracy and a reliable bearing area, while its load-rated, tested, and code-listed status provides the verified structural performance that commercial and residential cold-formed steel projects demand.
Key Features
- Precision-formed for dimensional accuracy - ensures proper bearing area and a secure, consistent structural connection on every installation, reducing the risk of fit issues in the field
- High-capacity, top-flange design - transfers loads efficiently at the joist top flange, supporting the structural integrity of cold-formed steel floor and framing systems
- Multiple attachment methods supported - installs to cold-formed steel members with screws or to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds, giving installers flexibility across different beam types
- Load-rated, tested, and code listed - provides verified structural performance and simplifies project approval on commercial and residential CFS jobsites
- Sized specifically for 1-5/8 in. x 10 in. CFS joists - exact fit eliminates guesswork and helps ensure code-compliant connections without field modification
- Made from 68 mil (14-gauge) steel with G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers the material thickness and corrosion resistance required for durable, long-term performance in cold-formed steel framing environments
Why This Product
- Built for real CFS jobsite demands - the combination of precision forming, high-capacity top-flange design, and support for multiple fastening methods means this hanger adapts to both cold-formed steel and structural steel beams without compromising connection quality
- Confidence through third-party validation - load-rated, tested, and code-listed status means engineers, inspectors, and contractors can rely on documented performance data rather than making assumptions about structural capacity
- Corrosion resistance built in from the start - the G90 zinc galvanized finish protects the hanger throughout the life of the structure, making it a sound choice for light-gauge steel framing applications where long-term durability matters
- Exact-fit engineering reduces installation error - designed specifically for 1-5/8 in. x 10 in. cold-formed steel joists, the hanger's dimensional accuracy helps ensure proper bearing area and a structurally sound connection from the first installation to the last
