The Simpson S/B2.12/12 High-Capacity Top-Flange Hanger is a precision-manufactured cold-formed steel joist hanger from Simpson, engineered to support 2 in. width x 12 in. height cold-formed steel joists when installed to structural steel or cold-formed steel beams. Built from 97mil (12 ga.) steel with a G90 galvanized coating and produced under rigorous quality control, this load-rated, code listed connector delivers the dimensional accuracy and bearing performance that cold-formed steel framing projects demand - from light commercial construction to complex structural assemblies.

Key Features

• High-capacity, top-flange design with precision forming - ensures consistent dimensional accuracy and proper bearing area on every installation, reducing the risk of fit issues in the field
• Compatible with cold-formed steel members (screws) and structural steel (powder-actuated fasteners or welds) - gives contractors flexibility to use the same hanger across multiple substrate types without sourcing additional hardware
• Made from 97mil (12 ga.) steel - provides the heavy-duty thickness required for high-load CFS joist connections where thinner gauges would be insufficient
• G90 galvanized coating - delivers reliable corrosion resistance suited to cold-formed steel framing environments, helping protect the connection over the life of the structure
• Load-rated, tested, and code listed - allows use on projects where documented, verified structural performance is required by inspectors or engineers
• Sized specifically for 2 in. x 12 in. cold-formed steel joists - eliminates guesswork and ensures the hanger seats correctly without field modification

Why This Product

• Engineered for CFS applications from the ground up - unlike generic hangers, the S/B series is purpose-built for cold-formed steel framing, with a design that accounts for the dimensional requirements and connection demands specific to CFS joists
• Dual-substrate installation compatibility - the ability to fasten to cold-formed steel with screws or to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds makes this hanger practical across a wider range of project conditions without requiring separate product SKUs
• Code listed and load-rated for professional confidence - engineers, inspectors, and contractors can reference verified load data and code compliance rather than relying on unrated hardware, which is critical for permitted commercial and residential CFS projects
• Precision forming backed by Simpson quality control - consistent manufacturing tolerances mean the hanger installs predictably, protecting bearing area geometry and reducing callbacks caused by fitment inconsistencies in the field
