The Simpson S/LBV3.12/10 14-Gauge Top-Flange Joist Hanger is a high-capacity cold-formed steel connector from Simpson Strong-Tie, engineered to support 3 in. x 10 in. cold-formed steel joists when attached to structural steel or cold-formed steel beams. Built from 68 mil (14 ga.) steel with a G90 galvanized finish, this precision-formed top-flange hanger delivers the dimensional accuracy, load-rated strength, and code-listed performance that demanding cold-formed steel framing applications require.

Key Features

• Precision-formed design for dimensional accuracy - ensures proper bearing area and connection, reducing the risk of fit issues during installation and helping maintain structural integrity throughout the framing assembly.
• High-capacity, top-flange construction with tight quality control - gives builders confidence that each hanger performs consistently to its rated load values, supporting safe and reliable cold-formed steel joist connections.
• Versatile attachment options - screws for cold-formed steel members, powder-actuated fasteners or welds for structural steel - makes this hanger adaptable across a range of CFS framing conditions without requiring a different connector for each substrate.
• Load-rated, tested, and code listed - simplifies project approvals and inspections by providing documented performance credentials recognized in qualifying cold-formed steel construction projects.
• Sized specifically for 3 in. x 10 in. cold-formed steel joists - eliminates guesswork on compatibility and ensures the hanger fits the intended joist profile as designed.
• Made from 68 mil (14 ga.) steel - the heavy-gauge construction supports high-load applications where thinner connectors would not meet performance requirements.
• G90 galvanized finish for corrosion resistance - helps protect the connector in environments where moisture exposure could degrade uncoated steel, extending the service life of the connection.

Why This Product

• Built specifically for cold-formed steel framing - unlike general-purpose hangers, this connector is engineered and tested for CFS applications, meaning the dimensions, load ratings, and attachment methods are all matched to how cold-formed steel joists and beams actually perform in the field.
• Two-substrate compatibility in one connector - the ability to attach to either cold-formed steel members with screws or to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds gives contractors real flexibility on mixed-substrate job sites without sourcing multiple hanger types.
• Code-listed and load-rated for straightforward compliance - having tested, documented performance data behind the connector makes it easier to satisfy inspection requirements and keeps projects moving without delays tied to unapproved hardware.
• G90 galvanized protection on a 14-gauge body - the combination of heavy-gauge steel and a G90 corrosion-resistant finish means the hanger is built to hold up both structurally and environmentally, making it a dependable long-term choice for light-gauge steel construction.
