Product Description
The Simpson BA2.1/14 is a top-flange joist hanger engineered for reliable performance in both engineered wood and solid sawn lumber framing applications. Designed as part of Simpson's cost-effective BA series, this hanger is built to carry medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products. Manufactured from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, the BA2.1/14 delivers durability, corrosion resistance, and design versatility - making it a trusted choice for residential and light commercial framing where a 2 in. x 14 in. joist member is required.
Key Features
- Two-Level Top Flange Embossment: Provides increased stiffness at the top flange for a more rigid, dependable connection.
- Full-Height Joist Flange: Captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminate the need for web stiffeners, simplifying installation.
- Min/Max Nailing Versatility: Minimum nailing targets moderate load demands, while maximum nailing allows higher load capacity - offering flexible design options for varying structural requirements.
- 12-Gauge Steel Construction: Heavy-duty gauge delivers strength and dimensional stability under load.
- G90 Zinc Galvanized Finish: Provides extra corrosion resistance for longer service life in demanding environments.
- Slope and Skew Customization Available: Available for special order to accommodate sloped and/or skewed members.
- Made in the United States.
