Product Description
The Simpson S/B4.18/6 High-Capacity Top-Flange Hanger from Simpson is a precision-formed joist hanger built for cold-formed steel framing applications where reliability and dimensional accuracy matter. Engineered to support double 2x6 cold-formed steel joists, this hanger installs to structural steel or cold-formed steel beams using screws, powder-actuated fasteners, or welds, giving contractors versatile attachment options across a wide range of CFS jobsite conditions. From light commercial builds to more demanding structural assemblies, this S/B series hanger delivers the load-rated, code-listed performance that CFS construction requires.
Key Features
- Top-flange design with precision forming and quality control - ensures consistent dimensional accuracy so joists seat correctly with proper bearing area and a secure connection every time
- High-capacity structural performance - provides the strength needed for demanding cold-formed steel applications, reducing risk of connection failure in load-bearing joist assemblies
- Multiple fastening methods supported - attaches to cold-formed steel members with screws or to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds, giving installers flexibility across different beam types on the same project
- Load-rated, tested, and code listed - meets verified performance standards so builders can specify and install with confidence in inspected or engineered construction
- Made from 97 mil (12 ga.) steel - heavy-gauge construction delivers the rigidity and durability expected in structural CFS connector applications
- Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - provides corrosion resistance that helps protect the connector's structural integrity over the life of the building
Why This Product
- Built specifically for double 2x6 CFS joist assemblies - the S/B4.18/6 is engineered for this exact member configuration, so there is no guesswork about fit, bearing area, or connection geometry on your cold-formed steel framing project
- Versatile attachment compatibility - whether your header is cold-formed steel or structural steel, this hanger connects using screws, powder-actuated fasteners, or welds, making it a single connector solution across different structural conditions
- Load-rated and code-listed for inspected construction - tested performance data and code listing give engineers, contractors, and inspectors a verifiable basis for specifying this hanger in regulated or permitted CFS applications
- Heavy-gauge galvanized construction for long-term reliability - 12 ga. steel combined with a G90 galvanized finish means the connector resists corrosion and maintains structural integrity throughout the service life of the building
