Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie BA2.56/18 is a top-flange joist hanger engineered for use with 2-1/2 in. x 18 in. engineered wood and solid sawn lumber. Part of the cost-effective BA series, this hanger is designed to carry medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products. Minimum and maximum nailing options provide design versatility to meet a wide range of structural load demands. Built from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized coating, the BA2.56/18 delivers reliable corrosion resistance and long-term performance in demanding construction environments.
Features
- The two-level embossment at the top flange provides increased stiffness
- The full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminate the need for web stiffeners
- Minimum nailing targets moderate load demands, whereas maximum nailing allows higher loads
- Available for special order to accommodate sloped and/or skewed members
- Actual joist size: 2-1/2 in. x 18 in.
- Made from 12-gauge steel
- Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance

Approved Applications
- Engineered wood joist and beam connections requiring top-flange hanger support
- Solid sawn lumber framing applications at medium load levels
- Applications where preventing joist rotation without web stiffeners is required
- Structural framing designs that require flexibility between minimum and maximum nailing load schedules
Installation
Install with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the header and 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist. The full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist, preventing rotation and eliminating the need for web stiffeners. Minimum nailing satisfies moderate load conditions; maximum nailing is required for higher load applications.
Options
- Other widths are available; specify W dimension (the minimum W dimension is 1 9/16").
- For modified hangers, fastener quantity listed in tables may need to increase depending on joist size, skew and slope. All modified hangers are 12 ga.
- Hangers may be modified for slopes and/or skews up to 45 deg.. The top flanges may be sloped as much as 35 deg. and may be open or closed up to 30 deg.. See Modifications and Associated Load Reductions under Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size joist does the BA2.56/18 fit?
A: The BA2.56/18 is sized for an actual joist dimension of 2-1/2 in. x 18 in., with a hanger width (W) of 2 9/16 in.
Q: What type of steel and coating is used on this hanger?
Frequently Asked Questions
- What size joist is the BA2.56/18 designed to fit?
- The BA2.56/18 is designed to fit a joist measuring 2-1/2 in. x 18 in. This applies to both engineered wood products and solid sawn lumber of that dimension.
- What nails should be used to install the BA2.56/18?
- Install the BA2.56/18 with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the header and 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist. Minimum nailing is suited for moderate load demands, while maximum nailing allows for higher loads.
- Does the BA2.56/18 require web stiffeners during installation?
- No. The full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation, which eliminates the need for web stiffeners.
- Can the BA2.56/18 be used for sloped or skewed framing applications?
- The standard BA2.56/18 is not configured for sloped or skewed members, but it is available for special order to accommodate those conditions. Contact the manufacturer for special-order options.
