The Simpson S/B2.12/14 High-Capacity Top-Flange Joist Hanger is a precision-formed cold-formed steel connector engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie to deliver reliable support for cold-formed steel joists in structural framing applications. Built from 97 mil (12 ga.) steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this top-flange hanger installs to structural steel or cold-formed steel beams, providing the dimensional accuracy and high-capacity performance that light-gauge steel construction demands. Whether used in commercial framing, multi-story builds, or other cold-formed steel jobsites, it brings load-rated confidence to every connection.

Key Features

• Precision forming for dimensional accuracy - the design ensures proper bearing area and connection alignment, reducing installation error and helping maintain structural integrity throughout the framing assembly.
• High-capacity, top-flange design - manufactured with rigorous quality control, this hanger delivers the connection strength required for demanding cold-formed steel joist applications without compromising on fit or performance.
• Versatile attachment compatibility - attaches to cold-formed steel members with screws or to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds, giving installers flexibility across a wide range of jobsite conditions.
• Load-rated, tested, and code listed - independently verified performance gives engineers and contractors confidence that this connector meets the strength requirements of applicable codes and standards.
• Sized for 2 in. x 14 in. cold-formed steel joists - purpose-built dimensions mean no guesswork on fit, ensuring a secure, snug connection with the correct joist profile every time.
• Made from 97 mil (12 ga.) steel - heavy-gauge construction provides the rigidity and load-bearing capacity needed in high-demand structural framing scenarios.
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides reliable corrosion resistance, helping the connector maintain its structural performance in a wide range of construction environments over the long term.

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for cold-formed steel framing - unlike general-purpose hangers, this connector is purpose-designed for CFS joist support, with features that address the unique demands of light-gauge steel construction from bearing area to fastener compatibility.
• Multiple fastening methods in one connector - the ability to attach via screws to cold-formed steel or via powder-actuated fasteners and welds to structural steel means this single hanger works across varied structural conditions, reducing the need to source different connectors for different beam types.
• Built-in quality assurance through load-rating and code listing - tested performance and code compliance take the guesswork out of specification, giving structural engineers and contractors a verifiable, trusted solution for cold-formed steel joist connections.
• Durable G90 galvanized finish extends service life - corrosion-resistant coating protects the hanger throughout the construction process and for the life of the structure, helping preserve connection integrity without additional treatment.
