Product Description
The Simpson BA4.12/11.88 BA Top-Flange Joist Hanger is a cost-effective, heavy-duty connector engineered for use with double 2 in. x 11-7/8 in. engineered wood and solid sawn lumber framing members. Manufactured from 12-gauge galvanized steel with a G90 zinc coating, this top-flange hanger delivers reliable performance under medium to higher load conditions. Its full-height joist flange and two-level embossed top flange work together to resist rotation, increase stiffness, and eliminate the need for web stiffeners - making it a streamlined choice for residential and light commercial floor and roof framing systems.
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: Double 2 in. x 11-7/8 in.
- Made from 12-gauge steel
- Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance

Frequently Asked Questions
- What member size is this hanger designed to fit?
- This hanger is designed specifically for a double 2 in. x 11-7/8 in. framing member, including both engineered wood products and solid sawn lumber of that dimension.
- What fasteners are required to install this hanger?
- Installation requires 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 offers minimum and maximum nailing options, allowing minimum nailing to target moderate load demands and maximum nailing to achieve higher load capacity.
- Does this hanger 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 and simplifies the installation process.
- Can this hanger be used for sloped or skewed framing applications?
