The Simpson BA210 is a top-flange joist hanger built for 2x10 joist-to-header connections in floor and roof framing assemblies. Engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie for both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood product applications, this one-piece hanger handles medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads when paired with engineered wood products. The BA series supports minimum nailing with positive-angle nailing (PAN) to target moderate load conditions, while maximum nailing unlocks higher load capacity - giving framers a single, adaptable connector for a wide range of structural demands.

Key Features

• One-piece construction - eliminates the cost and complexity of welded hangers while maintaining dependable structural performance
• Full-height joist flange - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminate the need for web stiffeners, reducing material and labor on the job site
• Positive-angle nailing (PAN) support - allows minimum nailing for moderate load conditions or maximum nailing for higher loads, giving installers flexibility to match the connector to the application
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides the structural strength needed for demanding 2x10 framing connections in both floor and roof systems
• G90 galvanized finish - delivers corrosion resistance suited to the environmental exposure typical in framing applications
• Available for sloped and skewed configurations - accommodates non-standard framing angles when standard geometry is not sufficient for the assembly

Why This Product

• Versatile load performance in a single connector - the BA210 scales from medium to higher load conditions depending on lumber type and nailing pattern, reducing the need to source multiple hanger models for different sections of a framing project
• Rotation control without extra hardware - the full-height joist flange locks the joist top chord in place and eliminates web stiffeners, streamlining installation and cutting down on additional components
• Compatible with both lumber types - works with solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products, making it a practical choice for mixed-framing projects where both materials appear in the same assembly
• Cost-effective one-piece design - compared to welded hangers, the BA210 simplifies procurement and handling without sacrificing the structural reliability expected in joist hanger applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What size joist is the BA210 designed to support?

The BA210 is designed for a nominal 2x10 joist size, making it suitable for 2x10 joist-to-header connections in floor and roof framing applications.

What nails are required to install the BA210?

Installation requires (16) 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the header and (8) 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist.

Can the BA210 be used with engineered wood products as well as solid sawn lumber?

Yes. The BA210 is compatible with both engineered wood products and solid sawn lumber. It carries medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads when paired with engineered wood products.

What material and corrosion protection does the BA210 have?

The BA210 is made from 12-gauge steel and features a Zinc Galvanized (G90) coating for corrosion resistance.
