Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie S/B4.18/10 is a high-capacity, top-flange hanger engineered for cold-formed steel framing systems, specifically sized to support (2) 2 in. x 10 in. cold-formed steel joists. Precision-formed from 12-gauge (97 mil) steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this connector attaches to structural steel beams using powder-actuated fasteners or welds, or to cold-formed steel beams using screws, delivering a reliable, load-rated connection across a wide range of commercial and residential CFS applications. Simpson Strong-Tie cold-formed steel connectors are designed to provide the strength and performance required in every cold-formed steel application, and the S/B series is built to meet that standard with consistent dimensional accuracy on every installation.
Key Features
- Precision-formed design for dimensional accuracy - ensures proper bearing area and a correctly aligned connection every time, reducing the risk of costly field adjustments.
- High-capacity, top-flange hanger construction - manufactured with precision forming and quality control, so contractors get consistent, dependable performance across the full run of a project.
- Multiple attachment methods supported - connects to cold-formed steel members with screws or to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds, giving installers flexibility to match the fastening method to the beam type on site.
- Load-rated, tested, and code listed - takes the guesswork out of compliance, streamlining inspections and giving engineers confidence in the connection values used during design.
- Made from 12-gauge (97 mil) steel - the heavy-gauge material provides the structural backbone needed for high-load CFS joist applications where lighter connectors would fall short.
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - the corrosion-resistant coating extends the service life of the connector in environments where moisture exposure is a concern, protecting the connection long after installation.
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for double cold-formed steel joist applications - the S/B4.18/10 is specifically engineered for (2) 2 in. x 10 in. CFS joists, meaning the geometry, bearing area, and load ratings are all optimized for that exact member configuration rather than adapted from a general-purpose hanger.
- Versatile beam compatibility in a single connector - the ability to fasten to both cold-formed steel and structural steel beams means one product covers multiple framing scenarios, reducing the need to source different hangers for different beam types on the same project.
- Backed by Simpson Strong-Tie engineering and code listing - load-rated and code-listed status means the connector has been independently tested and documented, supporting smoother plan approval and inspection processes on commercial and residential CFS jobs alike.
- Heavy-gauge, corrosion-resistant construction built for the long term - the combination of 12-gauge steel and a G90 galvanized coating means this hanger is engineered to maintain structural integrity and resist degradation over the life of the structure, not just at the point of installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What joist size is the S/B4.18/10 designed to support?
- This hanger is specifically sized for (2) 2 in. width x 10 in. height cold-formed steel joists. Using it with joists outside of this dimension is not recommended, as the design is precision-formed to ensure proper bearing area and connection for that specific member size.
- What types of beams can this hanger attach to?
- The S/B4.18/10 can be installed on either cold-formed steel beams or structural steel beams. When attaching to cold-formed steel members, screws are used. When attaching to structural steel, powder-actuated fasteners or welds are the appropriate attachment method.
- What gauge and finish is this hanger made from?
- This hanger is manufactured from 97 mil (12-gauge) steel, providing heavy-gauge construction for high-capacity performance. It features a G90 zinc galvanized coating, which offers corrosion resistance for long-term durability in cold-formed steel framing applications.
- Is the S/B4.18/10 load-rated and code listed?
- Yes, this hanger is load-rated, tested, and code listed, making it suitable for structural applications where verified performance and compliance are required. For specific load values and applicable code listings, refer to the Simpson Strong-Tie catalog or strongtie.com.
