Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie S/B4.18/14 is a high-capacity, top-flange hanger engineered for cold-formed steel construction, designed to support (2) 2 in. x 14 in. cold-formed steel joists in demanding structural framing applications. Precision-formed from 97 mil (12 ga.) steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this connector attaches to either cold-formed steel beams using screws or to structural steel beams using powder-actuated fasteners or welds, delivering the dimensional accuracy and reliable load transfer that CFS jobsites require. Load-rated, tested, and code listed, it is a proven connector solution for commercial and residential cold-formed steel framing projects of every scale.
Key Features
- Precision forming and dimensional accuracy - ensures proper bearing area and consistent connection alignment, reducing installation errors and rework on the jobsite.
- High-capacity, top-flange hanger design - delivers the structural strength needed for double cold-formed steel joist applications where load demands are elevated.
- Multiple attachment methods - connects to cold-formed steel members with screws or to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds, giving installers flexibility across different beam types.
- Load-rated, tested, and code listed - provides the documentation and compliance confidence required for inspections and engineered CFS framing systems.
- Made from 97 mil (12 ga.) steel - heavy-gauge construction supports the high-capacity performance expected in structural cold-formed steel applications.
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - corrosion-resistant coating helps extend service life in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
Why This Product
- Built for double cold-formed steel joist applications - specifically sized and load-rated for (2) 2 in. x 14 in. CFS joists, this hanger takes the guesswork out of connector selection for this exact framing configuration.
- Engineered precision means fewer field adjustments - the design provides dimensional accuracy and proper bearing area right out of the box, helping crews maintain framing tolerances and keep projects on schedule.
- Versatile beam compatibility - the ability to fasten to both cold-formed steel and structural steel beams makes this hanger adaptable across a wider range of CFS project conditions without requiring a different connector.
- Code-listed and independently tested - for structural professionals who need load data and compliance documentation, this hanger arrives with the ratings and listings already in place, simplifying the approval process.
