The Simpson HB212-2 Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam Double 2x12 is a heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson built to handle medium to high load beam-to-header connections in both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood framing applications. Its top-flange design and one-piece formed construction make it a dependable choice for double 2x12 beam support where strength, rotation resistance, and installation efficiency are critical priorities.

Key Features

• Top-flange design with full-height joist flange - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation, delivering a more stable and secure structural connection throughout the life of the structure
• Engineered for double 2x12 beam configurations - purpose-built geometry ensures accurate fit and reliable load transfer for this specific beam size in both solid sawn and engineered wood applications
• One-piece formed construction - eliminates the need for welded components, reducing cost without compromising the structural performance required for medium to high load conditions
• 10-gauge steel with galvanized finish - provides the material strength and corrosion resistance needed for demanding framing installations

Why This Product

• Versatile application compatibility - approved for use in solid sawn lumber framing connections and engineered wood product installations, making it a practical fit across a wide range of residential and commercial framing projects
• Rotation-resistant connection - the full-height joist flange actively captures the top chord, reducing the risk of joist movement and contributing to long-term structural integrity in heavy beam assemblies
• Cost-effective heavy load solution - one-piece formed design delivers medium to high load capacity comparable to welded alternatives, helping builders maintain performance standards while managing project costs
• Trusted brand, domestic production - bearing the Simpson name and produced in the United States, this hanger reflects consistent quality control standards that structural contractors and framers rely on
