The Simpson BA416 Top-Flange Joist Hanger is built for reliable performance in both engineered wood product and solid sawn lumber framing applications. Part of the Simpson BA hanger series, this 12-gauge galvanized steel connector handles medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products, making it a versatile choice for residential and commercial wood-frame construction. Its positive-angle nailing (PAN) capability supports moderate load conditions, while maximum nailing options accommodate higher load demands - giving builders the flexibility to match fastening patterns to project requirements for nominal 4x16 framing members.

Key Features

• One-piece 12-gauge steel construction - delivers a cost-effective alternative to welded hangers without sacrificing structural integrity, reducing material and labor costs on the job site
• Full-height joist flange - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminate the need for web stiffeners, simplifying installation and reducing the number of additional components required
• Positive-angle nailing (PAN) support - enables minimum nailing for moderate load conditions and maximum nailing for higher loads, giving installers flexible, code-compliant fastening options in a single hanger design
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - provides corrosion resistance suitable for wood-frame construction environments, helping the connector maintain long-term structural performance
• Available for sloped and/or skewed applications - accommodates angled framing assemblies, expanding the range of structural configurations this hanger can support

Why This Product

• Dual-application load versatility - the BA416 is engineered to carry medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products, so a single hanger model can serve a broader range of framing scenarios without requiring separate hardware for each lumber type
• Rotation prevention without extra parts - the full-height joist flange captures the top chord directly, eliminating joist rotation and removing the need for web stiffeners, which simplifies the framing assembly and keeps the installation straightforward
• Scalable nailing for load conditions - with both minimum PAN nailing and maximum nailing options built into the design, contractors can tune the connection strength to the actual load requirement rather than over-building every connection, making the BA416 practical across a wide range of projects
• Simplified procurement with a one-piece design - the single-piece stamped steel construction reduces the complexity of sourcing and handling compared to multi-piece or welded alternatives, keeping framing crews moving efficiently on the job

Installation

Install with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the header and 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist.

Options

• Other widths are available; specify W dimension (the minimum W dimension is 1 9/16").
  
• For modified hangers, fastener quantity listed in tables may need to increase depending on joist size, skew and slope. All modified hangers are 12 ga.
• Hangers may be modified for slopes and/or skews up to 45 deg.. The top flanges may be sloped as much as 35 deg. and may be open or closed up to 30 deg.. See Modifications and Associated Load Reductions under Specifications
