Product Description
The Simpson HB3.56/11.88 Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam 3-1/2 x 11-7/8 is a top-flange hanger from Simpson built to carry medium to high loads in both solid sawn and engineered wood framing applications. Its full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation, and its one-piece construction delivers a cost-effective alternative to welded hangers - making it a reliable choice for demanding structural connections where performance and efficiency both matter.
Key Features
- Top-flange, full-height joist flange design - captures the top chord of the joist to actively prevent rotation and maintain structural alignment under load
- One-piece construction - eliminates the need for welded assemblies, reducing hardware costs without sacrificing load-carrying capacity in medium to high load applications
- Available for special order in sloped and/or skewed configurations - gives engineers and framers the flexibility to address non-standard framing angles without sourcing a completely different product family
- Requires web stiffeners - ensures proper load transfer and structural integrity when used with engineered wood members, keeping the installation code-compliant and dependable
- Made from 10-gauge steel - provides the thickness and rigidity needed to handle heavy beam connections in residential and commercial framing
- Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance for long-lasting durability in environments where moisture exposure is a concern
Why This Product
- Built for heavy-load beam connections - the HB series is specifically engineered to handle medium to high loads, making it well-suited for structural framing projects where a standard joist hanger would fall short
- One-piece design lowers installed cost - by replacing multi-piece welded hangers with a single stamped component, this hanger reduces both material cost and installation time on the job site
- Compatible with solid sawn and engineered wood - versatility across lumber types means one hanger solution covers a broader range of framing scenarios, from traditional dimensional lumber to LVL and I-joist applications
- G90 galvanized finish for lasting corrosion protection - the zinc galvanized coating goes beyond basic protection, making this hanger a dependable long-term choice in structurally critical connections
