The Simpson BA214 Top Flange Hanger 2 X 14 is a professional-grade structural connector from Simpson engineered to deliver secure, flush beam-to-header connections for 2x14 joist and beam framing. Built to perform in both solid sawn lumber applications requiring medium load support and engineered wood product framing connections requiring higher load capacity, this top-flange hanger is a dependable choice for residential and commercial framing assemblies where structural integrity and installation precision matter.

Key Features

• Top-Flange Installation Design - allows the hanger to seat over the header for a flush, stable connection that keeps framing members properly aligned without compromising load transfer.
• Dual-Application Load Support - rated for medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products, giving framers flexibility across different material specifications on the same job site.
• 12-Gauge Zinc Galvanized G90 Steel Construction - provides corrosion resistance and structural strength suited to demanding framing environments where long-term durability is required.
• Positive-Angle Nailing Capability - supports positive-angle nailing for moderate load conditions, making fastener installation more accessible in tight framing situations and helping maintain consistent nail placement.
• Slope and Skew Modification Compatibility - can be modified for slopes and skews up to 45 deg., with top flanges that may be sloped as much as 35 deg. and opened or closed up to 30 deg., adapting to non-standard framing angles without requiring a separate connector.
• Domestic Origin - manufactured in the United States, supporting consistent quality standards expected on professional framing projects.

Why This Product

• Engineered for 2x14 Framing Specifically - rather than a generic connector adapted to fit, this hanger is sized precisely for 2x14 joist and beam members, reducing the guesswork and potential fit issues that come with using an approximate substitute.
• Versatile Across Lumber Types - the ability to support both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products under different load ratings means one hanger model can serve multiple structural scenarios, simplifying procurement and on-site inventory.
• Adaptable to Complex Framing Conditions - with modification options for slopes and skews up to 45 deg., this connector accommodates roof pitches, angled beams, and non-standard layouts that a fixed-geometry hanger could not handle.
• Built by a Trusted Structural Connector Brand - Simpson is a well-established name in structural connectors, and the BA214 reflects that reputation through its 12-gauge galvanized steel construction and compatibility with engineered wood product framing standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What joist or beam size is the BA214 designed to fit?

The BA214 is designed specifically for 2x14 joist and beam connections, making it the correct hanger when working with that lumber dimension in framing applications.

Can the BA214 be used with engineered wood products as well as solid sawn lumber?

Yes. The BA214 supports medium loads when used with solid sawn lumber and higher loads when used with engineered wood products, giving it dual-use versatility across common framing materials.

What material and finish is the BA214 made from?

The BA214 is constructed from 12-gauge steel with a zinc galvanized G90 coating. This corrosion-resistant finish makes it suitable for use with treated lumber and in demanding environments.

Can the BA214 be adjusted for sloped or skewed installations?

Yes. The BA214 can be modified for slopes and/or skews up to 45 deg., with its top flanges adjustable up to 35 deg. and capable of being opened or closed up to 30 deg., providing flexibility for non-standard framing conditions.
