The Simpson HB412 Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam 4x12 is a heavy-duty, top-flange connector engineered by Simpson to carry medium to high loads in both solid sawn and engineered wood framing applications. Its full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation, while its one-piece construction delivers a structurally reliable and cost-effective alternative to welded hangers - making it a practical choice for demanding residential and commercial beam connections.

Key Features

• Full-height joist flange design - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation, maintaining structural stability under load
• One-piece construction - eliminates the complexity and cost of welded hangers, simplifying installation without sacrificing load-carrying performance
• Sized for a nominal 4x12 member - purpose-built fit for heavy beam and joist applications, reducing the guesswork in connector selection
• Made from 10-gauge steel - provides the thickness and rigidity needed to handle medium to high structural loads in solid sawn and engineered wood systems
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers enhanced corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in moisture-prone framing environments
• Available for special order in sloped and/or skewed configurations - adds versatility for non-standard framing conditions where standard hangers cannot be used

Why This Product

• Cost-effective performance for high-load framing - the efficient one-piece design achieves the load capacity of traditional welded hangers at a lower cost, making it a smart value for structural beam connections
• Rotation-resistant by design - the full-height joist flange actively captures and holds the top chord, reducing the risk of joist roll and contributing to a more stable finished structure
• Built for a wide range of wood framing applications - compatibility with both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products means this hanger works across a broad variety of modern construction methods and beam types
• Durable G90 galvanized coating - the zinc galvanized finish goes beyond basic protection, making this heavy beam hanger suitable for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern
