The Simpson BA214 Beam Hanger is a top-flange joist hanger engineered for dependable performance in both engineered wood and solid sawn lumber framing applications. Designed to carry medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products, the BA214 delivers versatile, reliable structural support for 2x14 joist and beam connections. With its 12-gauge zinc galvanized G90 steel construction and positive-angle nailing (PAN) capability, this hanger is built to meet the demands of professional framing projects where precision and load integrity are essential.

Key Features

• Top-Flange Design: Installs as a top-flange hanger for flush, secure beam-to-header connections.
• Dual Load Capacity: Supports medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products.
• Positive-Angle Nailing (PAN): Minimum nailing with PAN targets moderate load conditions; maximum nailing supports higher loads.
• 12-Gauge Steel Construction: Heavy-duty 12 ga. steel provides structural integrity and long-term durability.
• Zinc Galvanized G90 Coating: Corrosion-resistant finish suitable for treated lumber and demanding environments.
• Made in the United States: Manufactured domestically to exacting quality standards.
• Flexible Modification Options: Can be modified for slopes and/or skews up to 45 deg., with top flanges adjustable up to 35 deg. and open or closed up to 30 deg..

Frequently Asked Questions

What joist or beam size is the BA214 designed to fit?

The BA214 is designed specifically for 2x14 joist and beam connections, making it the correct hanger when working with that lumber dimension in framing applications.

Can the BA214 be used with engineered wood products as well as solid sawn lumber?

Yes. The BA214 supports medium loads when used with solid sawn lumber and higher loads when used with engineered wood products, giving it dual-use versatility across common framing materials.

What material and finish is the BA214 made from?

The BA214 is constructed from 12-gauge steel with a zinc galvanized G90 coating. This corrosion-resistant finish makes it suitable for use with treated lumber and in demanding environments.

Can the BA214 be adjusted for sloped or skewed installations?

Yes. The BA214 can be modified for slopes and/or skews up to 45 deg., with its top flanges adjustable up to 35 deg. and capable of being opened or closed up to 30 deg., providing flexibility for non-standard framing conditions.
