The Simpson S/LBV1.68/14 top-flange hanger from Simpson Strong-Tie is engineered to support 1-5/8 in. x 14 in. cold-formed steel joists when connected to structural steel or cold-formed steel beams. Precision-formed from 14-gauge (68 mil) steel and finished with a G90 galvanized coating, this high-capacity CFS joist hanger delivers the dimensional accuracy, load-rated reliability, and corrosion resistance that cold-formed steel framing applications demand.

Key Features

• Precision-formed design for dimensional accuracy - ensures proper bearing area and connection, reducing installation errors and supporting structural integrity across CFS framing assemblies.
• High-capacity, top-flange construction with rigorous quality control - gives builders confidence that each hanger meets consistent performance standards on every cold-formed steel jobsite.
• Versatile attachment options - connects to cold-formed steel members with screws or to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds, accommodating a wide range of CFS installation conditions without requiring specialty hardware.
• Load-rated, tested, and code listed - provides documented proof of performance so contractors can meet project specifications and inspection requirements with confidence.
• Sized specifically for 1-5/8 in. x 14 in. cold-formed steel joists - eliminates guesswork during selection and ensures a precise fit for the intended member without field modification.
• Made from 14-gauge (68 mil) steel - delivers the structural thickness needed for high-load CFS hanger applications while maintaining compatibility with standard cold-formed steel framing systems.
• G90 galvanized finish - provides corrosion resistance suited to demanding construction environments, helping the hanger maintain its integrity over the life of the structure.

Why This Product

• Built for real CFS jobsite flexibility - the ability to attach to both cold-formed steel members and structural steel using screws, powder-actuated fasteners, or welds means this hanger adapts to the conditions on site rather than forcing workarounds.
• Engineered accuracy you can count on - precision forming and strict quality control translate directly to proper bearing area and connection alignment, reducing rework and keeping cold-formed steel framing projects on schedule.
• Verified performance backed by testing and code listing - load-rated and code-listed status means this hanger is not just a fit for the job dimensionally, but a documented, inspectable solution that satisfies project requirements.
• A trusted Simpson Strong-Tie solution for CFS construction - part of Simpson Strong-Tie's broad cold-formed steel connector lineup, this hanger reflects the same design standards applied across the full range of CFS hangers, holdowns, and framing connectors.
