Product Description
The Simpson HB7.12/16 Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam is a purpose-built structural connector designed to deliver dependable performance in medium to high load beam framing applications. Sized specifically for 7 x 16" heavy beam installations, this top-flange hanger supports both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood product framing, making it a versatile solution for residential and commercial construction alike. Its full-height joist flange captures the top chord to prevent rotation, and its single-piece formed steel construction provides the strength and consistency that demanding structural connections require.
Key Features
- Top-Flange Design - Allows installation from above the framing assembly, simplifying placement during construction and reducing the time needed to secure heavy beam connections.
- Full-Height Joist Flange - Captures the top chord of the joist or beam to actively prevent rotation, maintaining structural alignment and long-term integrity throughout the life of the assembly.
- Single-Piece Formed Steel Construction - Eliminates welded joints for a more consistent, cost-effective connector that meets the strength demands of medium to high load applications without added complexity.
- 10 Gauge Steel - Provides the material thickness necessary to handle heavy beam loads in both residential framing and commercial structural applications with confidence.
- Galvanized Finish - Offers corrosion resistance suitable for standard framing environments, with an optional hot-dip galvanized finish available for projects requiring enhanced protection.
- Compatible with Solid Sawn and Engineered Wood Products - Works across a wide range of framing materials, giving builders flexibility without requiring a different hanger for different beam types.
Why This Product
- Engineered for a Specific Beam Size - Purpose-sized for 7 x 16" heavy beam applications, this hanger delivers a precise fit that eliminates the guesswork and field modifications often associated with general-purpose connectors.
- Rotation Prevention Built In - The full-height flange that captures the top chord is not a secondary feature - it is a core part of the hanger's design, directly addressing one of the most common failure points in beam-to-header and beam-to-beam connections.
- Broad Application Compatibility - Approved for use with solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products, this hanger adapts to the framing materials already on the job site rather than dictating a specific material choice.
- Simpson Quality, American-Made - Produced in the United States by Simpson, a name long associated with structural connectors, this hanger brings consistent fabrication standards to connections where reliability is not optional.
