The Simpson S/B3.38/10 High-Capacity Top-Flange Hanger is a precision-engineered cold-formed steel connector built to support two 1-5/8 in. wide by 10 in. tall CFS joists with reliable strength and dimensional accuracy. Manufactured from 97 mil (12 gauge) steel with a Zinc Galvanized G90 finish, this top-flange hanger is designed for professional cold-formed steel framing applications where load performance, corrosion resistance, and installation consistency are non-negotiable. It attaches to cold-formed steel beams with screws or to structural steel using powder-actuated fasteners or welds, giving contractors the flexibility to work across a broad range of CFS project conditions.

Key Features

• Precision-forming design ensures dimensional accuracy - helps guarantee proper bearing area and connection alignment, reducing the risk of installation errors on the jobsite.
• High-capacity, top-flange construction - delivers the structural performance required for demanding cold-formed steel framing applications where load ratings matter.
• Multiple attachment methods supported - connects to cold-formed steel members with screws or to structural steel via powder-actuated fasteners or welds, offering installation flexibility across different project types.
• Load-rated, tested, and code listed - provides contractors and engineers confidence that the connection meets recognized performance and compliance standards.
• Designed specifically for double CFS joists - sized precisely for two 1-5/8 in. width by 10 in. height cold-formed steel joists, ensuring a proper fit without field modification.
• Made from 97 mil (12 gauge) steel - heavy-gauge construction contributes to the hanger's high-capacity load performance in structural cold-formed steel assemblies.
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - provides a proven level of corrosion resistance appropriate for cold-formed steel construction environments, supporting long-term connection integrity.

Why This Product

• Built by Simpson Strong-Tie for cold-formed steel applications - this hanger is part of a purpose-built line of CFS connectors engineered to meet the specific strength and performance demands of cold-formed steel framing, not adapted from wood-framing hardware.
• Versatile installation compatibility - the ability to fasten to both cold-formed steel and structural steel beams using screws, powder-actuated fasteners, or welds makes this hanger a practical fit for a wide variety of CFS jobsite conditions without requiring multiple connector types.
• Precision manufacturing supports code-compliant connections - with load ratings, third-party testing, and code listing behind it, this hanger supports the documentation and compliance requirements that engineers and inspectors expect on professional CFS projects.
• G90 galvanized finish for lasting corrosion resistance - the zinc galvanized coating helps protect the connection over the service life of the structure, making this hanger a dependable choice in environments where corrosion is a concern.
