Product Description
The Simpson S/LBV3.12/12 is a high-capacity, top-flange joist hanger engineered specifically for 3 in. wide by 12 in. high cold-formed steel joists. Built from 68 mil (14 ga.) steel with a G90 galvanized finish, this precision-formed connector attaches to structural steel or cold-formed steel beams to deliver reliable load transfer and dimensional accuracy in cold-formed steel framing systems. Load-rated, tested, and code listed, it is a dependable choice for commercial and residential floor and ceiling framing assemblies where engineered CFS connections are required.
Key Features
- Precision-formed design for dimensional accuracy - helps ensure proper bearing area and connection integrity, reducing the risk of misalignment during CFS framing installation.
- High-capacity, top-flange construction - delivers strong load transfer at the joist-to-beam connection, supporting the structural demands of engineered cold-formed steel assemblies.
- 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 different framing conditions.
- Load-rated, tested, and code listed - provides the documentation and compliance assurance required for engineered CFS projects, simplifying the inspection and approval process.
- Made from 68 mil (14 ga.) steel - the heavy-gauge material supports high-capacity performance and withstands the structural loads common in floor and ceiling framing applications.
- G90 galvanized finish - provides corrosion resistance suited to cold-formed steel construction environments, helping maintain connection integrity over the life of the structure.
Why This Product
- Exact-fit sizing for 3 in. x 12 in. CFS joists - this hanger is sized specifically for 3 in. wide by 12 in. high cold-formed steel joists, ensuring proper bearing area and a secure, code-compliant connection without field modification.
- Built for real-world CFS jobsite conditions - the ability to fasten to both cold-formed steel and structural steel members with screws, powder-actuated fasteners, or welds makes this connector adaptable to the varying beam types encountered on commercial and residential CFS projects.
- Confidence through testing and code listing - being load-rated and code listed means project teams, engineers, and inspectors have verified performance data to rely on, reducing uncertainty in the approval process for engineered framing systems.
- Corrosion-resistant G90 galvanized finish - the zinc galvanized coating is engineered to hold up in the demanding conditions of CFS construction, helping protect the connection point and extend the service life of the framing assembly.
