Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie S/LBV3.38/14 is a high-capacity, top-flange hanger engineered for cold-formed steel framing applications where structural reliability is non-negotiable. Designed to support (2) 1-5/8 in. wide x 14 in. tall cold-formed steel joists, this hanger connects to either cold-formed steel or structural steel beams, giving it broad utility across CFS floor and ceiling framing systems. Fabricated from 68-mil (14 ga.) steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, it is load-rated, tested, and code listed - delivering the verified performance and dimensional precision that modern CFS construction demands.
Key Features
- Precision-formed design for dimensional accuracy - ensures proper bearing area and consistent connection geometry, reducing installation error and helping meet structural requirements on every application.
- High-capacity top-flange configuration - transfers loads efficiently through the top flange, supporting demanding CFS joist assemblies where standard hangers may fall short.
- Dual attachment compatibility (screws or powder-actuated fasteners/welds) - installs to cold-formed steel beams with screws or to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds, making it adaptable to a wider range of beam conditions on the jobsite.
- Load-rated, tested, and code listed - engineered and verified to meet stringent structural performance standards, supporting code-compliant CFS framing installations with confidence.
- 14 ga. (68-mil) steel construction - heavy-gauge fabrication delivers the strength and rigidity required for high-load cold-formed steel joist applications.
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - provides corrosion resistance suited for CFS framing environments where long-term durability of the connection is critical.
- Manufactured with precision forming and strict quality control - consistent dimensions from part to part mean faster, more reliable installation across multi-joist framing assemblies.
Why This Product
- Built specifically for double cold-formed steel joists - the S/LBV3.38/14 is sized and engineered precisely for (2) 1-5/8 in. x 14 in. CFS joists, so the bearing area, connection geometry, and load rating all correspond directly to that member configuration rather than being adapted from a generic hanger.
- Versatile beam compatibility without sacrificing performance - the ability to attach to cold-formed steel with screws or to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds means contractors are not locked into a single beam type, reducing the need for multiple hanger SKUs on mixed-beam projects.
- Code-listed and load-rated for verified structural confidence - testing and code listing remove guesswork from the design and inspection process, making it easier for engineers, inspectors, and contractors to specify and approve this connection in regulated CFS framing applications.
- Heavy-gauge corrosion-resistant construction for long-term reliability - the combination of 14 ga. steel and a G90 galvanized finish means this hanger is built to maintain structural integrity over the life of the assembly, not just at the point of installation.
