The Simpson HB416 Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam 4x16 is a top-flange joist hanger engineered by Simpson to carry medium to high loads in both solid sawn and engineered wood applications. Its full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation, keeping heavy beam connections secure and properly aligned under load. The one-piece construction delivers the structural performance of a welded hanger at a lower cost, making it a practical choice for demanding residential and commercial framing projects where a 4x16 member is required.

Key Features

• One-piece design - eliminates the cost and complexity of welded hangers while maintaining the structural integrity needed for medium to high load applications
• Full-height joist flange - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation, keeping large-dimension lumber connections stable and properly seated
• 10-gauge steel construction - provides the thickness and strength required for heavy beam and high-load framing conditions
• Zinc Galvanized (G90) finish - delivers enhanced corrosion resistance, extending the service life of the connection in demanding construction environments
• Available for special order in sloped and/or skewed configurations - accommodates non-standard framing angles so the right fit is achievable even in complex structural layouts

Why This Product

• Cost-effective strength for heavy loads - the efficient one-piece design provides a high-load-rated connection without the added expense of welded alternatives, offering real value on large-scale framing projects
• Built for solid sawn and engineered wood - designed to work with both traditional lumber and engineered wood assemblies, giving builders flexibility across a wide range of heavy beam applications
• Rotation-resistant connection - the full-height joist flange actively captures and holds the top chord of the joist, reducing the risk of movement or misalignment under load
• Adaptable to complex framing conditions - with sloped and skewed configurations available on special order, this hanger can address non-standard structural situations that a standard off-the-shelf product cannot

Frequently Asked Questions

What size member is the HB416 designed to support?

The HB416 is designed for a nominal joist size of 4x16, making it suitable for heavy beam and large-dimension lumber applications in both solid sawn and engineered wood assemblies.

What type of steel and finish is used on the HB416?

The HB416 is manufactured from 10-gauge steel and features a Zinc Galvanized (G90) finish, which provides enhanced corrosion resistance for demanding construction environments.

How is the HB416 installed, and what fasteners are required?

The HB416 is installed using (22) 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the header and (10) 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the joist for a secure, load-rated connection.

What advantage does the one-piece design of the HB416 provide?

The one-piece design of the HB416 provides a cost-effective solution compared to welded hangers, simplifying installation while maintaining the structural integrity needed for medium to high load applications.
