The Simpson S/LBV2.56/10 S/LBV 14 ga. Hanger for 2-1/2 in. x 10 in. Cold-Formed Steel Joist is a high-capacity, top-flange hanger engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie for cold-formed steel framing applications where strength, fit, and verified performance are non-negotiable. Designed to install to structural steel or cold-formed steel beams, this light gauge steel hanger supports 2-1/2 in. x 10 in. CFS joists with the dimensional precision and connection integrity that modern cold-formed steel construction demands.

Key Features

• Precision-formed design for dimensional accuracy - ensures proper bearing area and a consistent, reliable connection at every installation point, reducing field adjustment and rework.
• High-capacity, top-flange configuration manufactured with rigorous quality control - delivers the structural performance required for demanding CFS framing projects, from light commercial to multi-story applications.
• Attaches to cold-formed steel members with screws or to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds - gives installers the flexibility to work with the supporting structure they have on site without sourcing a different connector.
• Load-rated, tested, and code listed - provides engineers, inspectors, and contractors with the documented performance data needed to meet project specifications and building code requirements.
• Made from 68 mil (14 ga.) steel with a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - the heavy-gauge base material handles high loads while the G90 finish provides corrosion resistance suited to long-term CFS construction environments.

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for cold-formed steel joists - unlike generic hangers, the S/LBV series is purpose-built for CFS framing, so the fit, bearing area, and load path are optimized for the 2-1/2 in. x 10 in. joist size from the start.
• Versatile attachment options in a single connector - whether the supporting member is cold-formed steel or structural steel, this hanger accommodates both screw and powder-actuated fastener or weld installations, simplifying procurement and reducing the need for multiple connector types on one job.
• Backed by Simpson Strong-Tie testing and code listing - the verified load ratings and code compliance give design professionals and inspectors confidence in the connection without requiring additional engineering justification for standard applications.
• G90 galvanized protection on a 14 ga. base - the combination of heavy-gauge steel and a durable galvanized finish means the hanger holds up in the corrosive conditions common to construction environments, supporting the long-term integrity of the framed assembly.
