Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie BA4.12/16 is a top-flange joist hanger engineered for use with double 2 in. x 16 in. engineered wood and solid sawn lumber members. Part of Simpson's cost-effective BA series, this hanger is designed to carry medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products. Its 12-gauge galvanized steel construction (G90 coating) delivers reliable corrosion resistance, while its innovative flange geometry prevents joist rotation and eliminates the need for web stiffeners. With both minimum and maximum nailing options built into its design, the BA4.12/16 offers exceptional versatility for a wide range of structural framing applications.
Key Features
- Two-Level Top Flange Embossment: Provides increased stiffness at the top flange connection for a more rigid and reliable installation.
- Full-Height Joist Flange: Captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminate the need for web stiffeners, saving time and materials on the job site.
- Min/Max Nailing Flexibility: Minimum nailing targets moderate load demands, while maximum nailing allows higher loads - giving engineers and builders design versatility in a single product.
- 12-Gauge Steel Construction: Heavy-duty 12-gauge steel provides the structural integrity required for demanding framing applications.
- G90 Galvanized Finish: Zinc galvanized coating (G90) offers enhanced protection against corrosion in exposed or treated-lumber environments.
- Sloped & Skewed Options Available: Available for special order to accommodate sloped and/or skewed members, providing flexibility for complex framing geometries.
- Made in the United States: Manufactured domestically to consistent quality standards.

Approved Applications
- Engineered wood product (EWP) framing, including LVL, PSL, LSL, and glulam beams
- Solid sawn lumber framing requiring top-flange hanger connections
- Floor and roof framing systems with double 2 in. x 16 in. joist members

Installation
Install the BA4.12/16 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 engages the top chord of the joist to resist rotation. Select minimum or maximum nailing patterns based on the load demands of your specific application. For sloped or skewed framing conditions, a modified version is available - see the Options section below.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What size lumber or engineered wood is the BA4.12/16 designed to support?
- The BA4.12/16 is designed specifically for double 2 in. x 16 in. members. It is compatible with both engineered wood products and solid sawn lumber, though it is rated to carry higher loads when used with engineered wood and medium loads when used with solid sawn lumber.
- What nails are required to install the BA4.12/16?
- 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 features minimum and maximum nailing options, allowing minimum nailing for moderate load demands and maximum nailing when higher loads are required.
- Does this hanger require web stiffeners during installation?
- No. The BA4.12/16 features a full-height joist flange that captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation, which eliminates the need for web stiffeners. This can save time and materials during framing.
- Can the BA4.12/16 be used for sloped or skewed framing applications?
- The standard BA4.12/16 is not configured for sloped or skewed members, but it is available for special order to accommodate sloped and/or skewed installations. Contact your supplier to inquire about ordering a version tailored to your specific framing angle requirements.
