The Simpson S/LBV 14 ga. High-Capacity Joist Hanger for 2 in. x 12 in. Cold-Formed Steel Joists is a precision-engineered, top-flange connector built by Simpson to deliver reliable structural support in cold-formed steel framing applications. Designed to attach to either cold-formed steel beams or structural steel headers, this hanger is a go-to solution for contractors and engineers who need a load-rated, code-listed connection that meets the performance demands of modern CFS construction. Its G90 galvanized finish and 14 ga. steel construction make it a dependable choice for projects where strength, fit, and corrosion resistance are non-negotiable.

Key Features

• Precision-formed design provides dimensional accuracy - ensures proper bearing area and a tight, consistent connection that reduces installation errors and helps maintain structural integrity.
• High-capacity, top-flange hanger with quality-controlled manufacturing - delivers the load performance required in demanding CFS structural applications, giving builders confidence in every connection.
• Attaches to cold-formed steel members with screws or to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds - offers versatile installation options across a range of jobsite conditions, reducing the need for alternative connectors.
• Load-rated, tested, and code listed - supports code-compliant construction so engineers and inspectors can approve the connection without guesswork or uncertainty.
• Sized specifically for 2 in. width x 12 in. height cold-formed steel joists - the dedicated fit eliminates sizing ambiguity and ensures the hanger performs as engineered from the start.
• Made from 68 mil (14 ga.) steel - the heavy-gauge material provides the structural rigidity and load capacity that light-gauge alternatives cannot match.
• Zinc Galvanized (G90) finish - provides a corrosion-resistant barrier that helps preserve the connector's integrity over the long term, even in demanding environments.

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for cold-formed steel framing - unlike general-purpose hangers, this connector is purpose-built for CFS joist applications, meaning the geometry, gauge, and load ratings are dialed in for the way CFS systems are actually built.
• Multi-substrate versatility in a single connector - the ability to fasten to cold-formed steel with screws or to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds means one hanger works across different header conditions, simplifying procurement and reducing on-site substitutions.
• Code-listed and load-rated for structural accountability - having a tested, listed connector on the job means engineers can specify it with confidence and inspectors can verify compliance quickly, keeping projects on schedule.
• Trusted Simpson quality with G90 galvanized protection - the combination of Simpson's precision forming, quality control standards, and a G90 galvanized coating means this hanger is built to perform reliably from installation through the life of the structure.
