The Simpson Ornamental Joist Hanger 4 x 14 Black Powder Coat is a 7-gauge face-mount connector engineered for structural framing projects where exposed hardware is part of the design. Built to accommodate standard 4x14 dimensional lumber joists in a face-mount configuration, it delivers the load-bearing reliability demanded by heavy timber and decorative beam applications while presenting a clean, finished appearance that works with the aesthetic rather than against it. Produced in the United States to exacting construction standards, this hanger is a purpose-built solution for ornamental and exposed-beam framing where both structural performance and hardware appearance are part of the project requirement.

Key Features

• 7-Gauge Steel Construction - Heavy steel gauge provides the robust load-bearing capacity needed for demanding structural framing, giving builders confidence in connections that carry real loads.
• Black Powder-Coat Finish - A durable decorative coating gives the hanger a refined, visually finished look that suits exposed-beam and decorative timber-frame construction where hardware remains in plain sight.
• Face-Mount Ornamental Design - Connects a 4x14 joist directly to a header in a face-mount orientation, making it well suited for glulam beam installations and decorative structural framing where connector placement is visible.
• 3/4 in. Anchor Bolt Installation - Designed to install with 3/4 in. diameter anchor bolts, ensuring a secure, reliable joist-to-header connection using fasteners sized for heavy timber work.
• American-Made Quality - Manufactured in the United States, the hanger is built to consistent dimensional and material standards that contractors and designers can depend on across projects.

Why This Product

• Structural and Aesthetic in One Connector - Where most hangers are hidden, this Simpson ornamental hanger is built to be seen. The black powder-coat finish means exposed hardware becomes a design element rather than an eyesore, eliminating the need to conceal connections in decorative timber framing.
• Purpose-Sized for 4x14 Joists - Sized precisely for 4x14 dimensional lumber, this hanger removes the guesswork from connector selection and ensures a proper fit for heavy timber joist-to-header connections from the start.
• Heavy-Gauge Reliability for Demanding Applications - At 7-gauge steel, this hanger is built for structural loads, not just decorative trim work, making it appropriate for glulam beam installations and exposed-beam construction that must meet real performance requirements.
• Consistent, Trusted Simpson Quality - Produced in the United States by Simpson, a brand widely recognized in structural connector applications, this hanger offers the dimensional consistency and material reliability that professional framing projects depend on.
