The Simpson BA7.12/24 Top-Flange Joist Hanger is a cost-effective structural connector designed to support double 3-1/2 in. x 24 in. engineered wood and solid sawn lumber assemblies with reliable, versatile performance. Built from 12-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish for extra corrosion resistance, this BA Series hanger is engineered to carry medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products - giving framing professionals the flexibility to meet a wide range of design load demands through minimum or maximum nailing schedules.

Key Features

• Two-level embossment at the top flange - provides increased stiffness for more efficient load transfer without adding bulk to the connection.
• Full-height joist flange - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminates the need for web stiffeners, simplifying installation and reducing material costs.
• Min./max. nailing options - minimum nailing targets moderate load demands, whereas maximum nailing allows higher loads, giving engineers and builders the design versatility to match the hanger to the actual project requirement.
• Fits double 3-1/2 in. x 24 in. members - precision-sized for compatibility with common engineered wood joist dimensions, ensuring a secure, properly seated connection.
• 12-gauge steel construction - delivers the structural strength needed for medium-to-higher load joist and beam applications in residential and commercial framing.
• G90 galvanized coating - provides extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
• Available to accommodate sloped and/or skewed members - extends the usefulness of the BA Series to non-standard framing conditions where standard square cuts are not possible.

Why This Product

• One hanger, broad load range - the ability to switch between minimum and maximum nailing schedules means a single BA7.12/24 hanger can serve both moderate and higher load applications, reducing the need to source multiple connector models for a project.
• Engineered wood ready - unlike hangers optimized only for dimensional lumber, the BA Series is specifically designed to carry higher loads with engineered wood products such as LVL and I-joist assemblies, making it a strong fit for modern framing systems.
• No web stiffeners required - the full-height joist flange does the work of preventing rotation on its own, cutting down on labor time and the additional materials that web stiffeners would otherwise require.
• Corrosion-resistant from the start - the G90 galvanized finish provides a durable protective layer right out of the box, supporting long-term performance in framing applications where moisture or treated lumber is present.
