The Simpson S/LBV 14-Gauge High-Capacity Top-Flange Joist Hanger is an engineered cold-formed steel connector from Simpson built to support cold-formed steel joists when installed to structural steel or cold-formed steel beams. Precision-formed from 68 mil (14 ga.) steel and finished with a G90 zinc galvanized coating, this top-flange hanger delivers the dimensional accuracy and high load capacity demanded in professional cold-formed steel framing applications - from commercial decks and floor systems to light-gauge structural assemblies of all scales.

Key Features

• Top-flange design with precision forming and strict quality control - ensures dimensional accuracy and proper bearing area so the joist seats correctly every time, reducing field adjustments and rework.
• High-capacity construction from 68 mil (14 ga.) steel - provides the structural strength needed for demanding cold-formed steel framing projects where load performance cannot be compromised.
• Versatile attachment options - 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 - meets the strength and performance requirements for cold-formed steel construction, giving engineers and inspectors the documentation they need with confidence.
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers reliable corrosion resistance in the moisture-exposed environments common to framing and structural applications, helping protect the connection over the long term.

Why This Product

• Built for cold-formed steel framing from the ground up - unlike generic hardware, this hanger is specifically engineered for cold-formed steel joist applications, with a design that accounts for the exact bearing and connection requirements of light-gauge construction.
• Tested performance you can specify with confidence - because the hanger is load-rated and code listed, it supports engineer specifications and code compliance documentation without guesswork or additional verification burden on the project team.
• Two attachment methods in one connector - the ability to fasten to cold-formed steel members with screws or to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds means this single hanger adapts to different supporting member types, reducing the need to source separate connectors for mixed-structure projects.
• Simpson quality with domestic manufacturing - precision forming and rigorous quality control back every unit, delivering the consistency that high-volume framing crews and structural applications depend on.
