Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie S/B3.38/6 is a high-capacity, top-flange joist hanger engineered for cold-formed steel framing systems in both commercial and residential construction. Precision-formed from 12-gauge (97 mil) steel and finished with a G90 zinc galvanized coating for corrosion resistance, this connector is sized specifically for (2) 1-5/8 in. wide x 6 in. tall cold-formed steel joists and installs to either structural steel beams or cold-formed steel beams - giving contractors the flexibility to work across a wide range of CFS project types. Load-rated, tested, and code listed, the S/B series delivers the documented strength and consistent performance that engineers and installers depend on across every CFS application.
Key Features
- Precision-formed design for dimensional accuracy - ensures proper bearing area and connection every time, reducing the risk of misalignment and rework on the jobsite.
- High-capacity, top-flange configuration - transfers loads efficiently at the top of the joist, supporting demanding CFS framing applications without sacrificing structural integrity.
- Dual installation compatibility - attaches to cold-formed steel beams with screws or to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds, making it adaptable to the beam type already on your jobsite.
- Load-rated, tested, and code listed - provides the third-party verified performance data engineers and inspectors require, streamlining approvals on commercial and residential projects alike.
- Made from 12-gauge (97 mil) steel - delivers the material thickness needed to handle high-capacity loads in CFS joist support applications.
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - provides corrosion resistance suited for the environments typical of CFS framing projects, helping protect the connection over the life of the structure.
Why This Product
- Built specifically for double CFS joists - designed to seat (2) 1-5/8 in. x 6 in. cold-formed steel joists with dimensional precision, so the bearing area and connection perform exactly as engineered without guesswork or field modification.
- Versatile beam attachment options - the ability to fasten to either cold-formed steel or structural steel beams using screws, powder-actuated fasteners, or welds means this hanger fits into existing site conditions rather than requiring you to work around it.
- Code compliance built in - load-rated and code listed status means documentation is already in place for plan review and inspection, reducing delays on projects where verified CFS connections are a requirement.
- Simpson Strong-Tie quality and quality control - manufactured with the precision forming and quality control standards Simpson Strong-Tie applies across its cold-formed steel connector line, giving engineers and contractors a connector they can specify and install with confidence across projects big and small.
