Product Description
The Simpson BA2.56/20 BA Top-Flange Joist Hanger is engineered for reliable performance in both engineered wood and solid sawn lumber applications. Designed to fit a 2-1/2 in. x 20 in. member, this top-flange hanger delivers medium load capacity with solid sawn lumber and higher load capacity when used with engineered wood products. The BA series supports flexible nailing configurations - minimum nailing with positive-angle nailing (PAN) targets moderate load conditions, while maximum nailing options accommodate higher structural demands. Fabricated in the United States from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this one-piece hanger offers a cost-effective, corrosion-resistant solution for residential and commercial framing projects.

- Available for special order to accommodate sloped and/or skewed members
- Actual joist size: 2-1/2 in. x 20 in.
- Made from 12-gauge steel
- Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance
