Product Description
The Simpson S/B4.18/12 top-flange joist hanger is a high-capacity cold-formed steel connector engineered by Simpson to support double 2 in. x 12 in. cold-formed steel joist assemblies when installed to structural steel or cold-formed steel beams. Precision-formed from 97mil (12 ga.) steel and finished with a G90 zinc galvanized coating, this load-rated, code-listed hanger delivers the dimensional accuracy and corrosion resistance that CFS framing applications demand - from small residential projects to large commercial builds.
Key Features
- Top-flange, high-capacity design with precision forming - ensures proper bearing area and dimensional accuracy so your CFS joist connections meet performance requirements every time.
- Versatile attachment options - installs to cold-formed steel members with screws or to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds, giving installers flexibility across a wide range of framing configurations.
- Load-rated, tested, and code listed - provides verified, documented performance so engineers and inspectors can approve the installation with confidence.
- Made from 97mil (12 ga.) steel - the heavy-gauge construction delivers the structural strength needed for double 2x12 CFS joist assemblies in demanding applications.
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - offers reliable corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for both interior and exterior cold-formed steel framing environments.
- Sized for (2) 2 in. x 12 in. cold-formed steel joists - the purpose-built fit eliminates guesswork and helps ensure a secure, code-compliant connection without field modification.
Why This Product
- Built for CFS framing from the ground up - unlike general-purpose hangers, this connector is specifically engineered for cold-formed steel applications, with precision forming and quality control that supports proper bearing and connection integrity in CFS joist assemblies.
- One hanger, multiple substrate options - the ability to attach to both cold-formed steel members and structural steel using screws, powder-actuated fasteners, or welds makes this hanger a practical choice across varied CFS jobsite conditions.
- Confidence-backed by testing and code listing - load ratings, third-party testing, and code compliance mean less time seeking engineering approvals and more certainty that the connection performs as designed.
- Corrosion-resistant finish for long-term reliability - the G90 galvanized coating protects the connector against corrosion, supporting the long-term performance of the overall framing assembly in a variety of environments.
