Product Description
The Simpson S/LBV1.68/8 high-capacity top-flange hanger from Simpson Strong-Tie is purpose-built for cold-formed steel framing applications requiring precise, load-rated joist support. Engineered for 1-5/8 in. wide by 8 in. tall cold-formed steel joists, this 14 ga. light gauge hanger attaches to either cold-formed steel beams using screws or to structural steel using powder-actuated fasteners or welds, giving installers reliable flexibility across a wide range of CFS project conditions. From mid-rise commercial builds to smaller framing applications, this connector delivers the dimensional accuracy and connection integrity that demanding cold-formed steel construction demands.
Key Features
- Precision-formed top-flange design - ensures dimensional accuracy and proper bearing area so joists seat correctly and connections perform as engineered
- High-capacity construction with quality-controlled manufacturing - gives builders confidence that every hanger meets consistent performance standards across the job
- Compatible with screws, powder-actuated fasteners, or welds - installs to both cold-formed steel members and structural steel beams, reducing the need for specialized hardware on mixed-substrate projects
- Load-rated, tested, and code listed - simplifies inspection and plan approval by meeting the documentation requirements of code-compliant CFS construction
- Made from 68 mil (14 ga.) steel - provides the structural thickness needed for high-capacity joist hanger applications in light gauge steel framing
- Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - delivers corrosion resistance for long-term durability in a variety of installation environments
Why This Product
- Built specifically for cold-formed steel framing - unlike generic hangers, this connector is designed from the ground up for CFS joist applications, ensuring proper fit for 1-5/8 in. x 8 in. members and the connection reliability that light gauge steel construction requires
- Versatile attachment options reduce project complexity - the ability to fasten to cold-formed steel with screws or to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds means this single hanger adapts to multiple framing scenarios without substitution
- Code-listed and load-rated for straightforward compliance - tested performance data supports smooth code approval and inspection, saving time during the permitting and review process on commercial and residential CFS projects
- G90 galvanized finish adds long-term value - corrosion-resistant coating protects the connection over the life of the structure, reducing the risk of performance degradation in moisture-exposed or demanding job site environments
