The Simpson HB3.56/11.25 Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam 3-1/2x11-1/4 is a heavy-duty beam hanger from Simpson engineered to carry medium to high loads in solid sawn and engineered wood framing applications. Its top-flange design simplifies installation onto the supporting member, making it a reliable choice for contractors and builders working with heavy timber and engineered lumber in structural framing projects.

Key Features

• Top-flange mounting design - sits directly on top of the supporting member for straightforward, efficient installation without the need for separate blocking or additional hardware
• Full-height joist flange - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation, keeping beams properly aligned and maintaining structural integrity over time
• One-piece construction - eliminates the need for welded assemblies, reducing installed cost while delivering consistent, high-performance load transfer
• Sized for 3-1/2 x 11-1/4 heavy beam applications - precisely dimensioned to fit solid sawn and engineered wood members of those exact dimensions, ensuring a secure, code-friendly connection
• Galvanized steel finish - provides corrosion resistance for long-term durability in typical structural environments, with a hot-dip galvanized option available for demanding conditions

Why This Product

• Built for heavy beam loads - the 10 gauge steel construction and one-piece design deliver the structural strength needed for medium to high load-carrying applications in solid sawn and engineered wood framing, reducing the need for overbuilt or custom-fabricated alternatives
• Rotation-resistant connection - the full-height joist flange locks the top chord in place, giving builders confidence that supported beams stay plumb and aligned throughout the life of the structure
• Cost-effective alternative to welded hangers - the one-piece formed design provides comparable performance to welded hardware at a lower overall cost, benefiting both budget-conscious projects and high-volume framing work
• Trusted domestic manufacturing - produced in the United States by Simpson, a widely recognized name in structural connectors, offering builders confidence in consistent quality and material standards
