Product Description
The Simpson BA2.56/30 BA Series Top-Flange Joist Hanger is a cost-effective, high-performance connector engineered for both engineered wood and solid sawn lumber applications. Designed to support a 2-1/2 in. x 30 in. member, this hanger delivers medium load capacity with solid sawn lumber and higher load capacity with engineered wood products. Built from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish for superior corrosion resistance, the BA2.56/30 combines structural integrity with installation flexibility - making it a trusted choice for residential and commercial framing projects that demand reliable, code-compliant performance.
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 30 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 requiring medium load capacity
- Applications where prevention of joist rotation is critical and web stiffeners are undesirable
- Framing assemblies requiring design flexibility through minimum or maximum nailing schedules
- Projects requiring corrosion-resistant hardware in demanding or moisture-exposed environments
Installation
- Install with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the header
- Install with 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist
- 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
Frequently Asked Questions
- What size joist or beam is the BA2.56/30 designed to fit?
- The BA2.56/30 is designed to fit a 2-1/2 in. x 30 in. member. This makes it well suited for deeper engineered wood joists and beams where standard hangers may not provide adequate flange height.
- What type of nails should be used to install this hanger?
- Install the BA2.56/30 using 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 hanger supports both minimum and maximum nailing configurations, allowing you to target moderate or higher load demands depending on your project requirements.
- Is this hanger suitable for both engineered wood and solid sawn lumber?
- Yes. The BA2.56/30 is designed for use with both engineered wood products and solid sawn lumber. It carries medium loads with solid sawn lumber and is capable of higher load capacities when used with engineered wood products.
- Can the BA2.56/30 be used in sloped or skewed framing applications?
- The standard BA2.56/30 is designed for square connections, but it is available for special order to accommodate sloped and/or skewed members. Contact your supplier to inquire about special-order configurations for angled framing applications.
